I stopped here recently for a late morning breakfast. You must understand that this classic "greasy spoon" is located on US 61 on the edge of Montrose. It's nothing fancy; however, it is clean (including the men's bathroom), and more than reasonable in meal prices. The very friendly waitress seemed to be a jack-of-all-trades. She took my order, cooked my food, served my food, ran the cash register, and seemed to be doing other prep work in the kitchen. There are only about six or seven stools to sit on at the lunch counter. There was a warmer by the cash register with food ready to-go.
How was my breakfast? Perfect. The omelet was cooked just right on the grill as I watched. The wheat toast was hot with butter generously applied. Bottom line: If you are south of Fort Madison and want a delicious meal of comfort food, Garner One Stop will treat you right without assaulting your wallet. read more
