Traveled to Templeton for the Templeton Rye tour (which was great) but in looking for a lunch spot we found this gem!
Nothing special about the outside, small white corner building with a ton of customer vehicles parked outside. Walking into the cafe, it was obviously a ma & pa diner as locals were seated everywhere individuals addressing each other by first name.
We tried the soup (beef & noodles, chicken & dumplings) and YUM - WOW! Homemade delicious! We also tried the pork tenderloin and cheeseburger. Tenderloin was hand battered and fried to perfection placed on a soft fresh bun with all the fixings. Cheeseburger was nice sized and with all the fixings. Sides were separate and large in portions!! Cheese nuggets and fries were good. (Did I mention how good the soup was?!)
Service was country home friendly, warm and welcoming. Locals came through the doors constantly to pickup to-go orders; there was a common theme as they knew the person, common order and amount owed..... felt like home!
I typically skip dessert but skipped dinner tonight as I tried a slice of peach pie! Homemade wonderful!!! Just like grandpa's pies!! Full flavor, great crust, perfect ratio of fruit to filling
I know... no pictures... sorry... just trust me I'll be driving the 1hr 40 min for another Rye tasting followed with a lunch at the Corner Cafe! read more
