The cinnamon rolls and pancakes are absurdly large. Love that they are a bakery though. Tempted to get sweets but opted for French toast and pancakes with our breakfast instead.

The servers were also quite kind. Definitely had a small town, home diner feel.

It's a charming little roadside parlour, more of a grab-and-go kind of place, with a few benches set up in the open field next to the shop.

We also ordered their famous widgets, which quickly became a favorite! The burger we tried was pretty good too. All in all, a great find and definitely worth a visit!

However, despite being required by Casey's policy to change the pizza every 45 minutes, some of the employees get lackadaisical and lazy late in the evenings and let the Pizza sit in the rotisserie until it becomes crusty looking. This only happens a couple of times a week and usually later in the evening after 8 o'clock. Otherwise, the pizza is great, the people who work there are super pleasant and nice. There's always free samples of something sitting out on the counter. Nowhere near as good of a selection of beverages or coffee as Thorton's, but it's a couple miles closer to me than Thorton's. It is what it is. A gas station, Pizza restaurant, it's what you make of it.
