It's an old gas station turned to a diner, on 60 east 2 buildings after Casey's. They opened Monday through Saturday from 5AM to 2PM. The service is phenomenal, the owner will always check your tray before hand it over to you to make sure you have everything. Many regular local old ones eat here daily, black and white, they know what the good food are. The pies are super delicious, I am still trying all its pies, still can't pick one for my favorite, they are all goooood. The portion is humongously delicious for the price you pay. Sometimes the lunch specials will be gone 1-2 hours before they close. The little paradise in Poplar Bluff.

The prices are very reasonable. I had the pork tenderloin sandwich with fried mushrooms, and both were very good. The tenderloin was on Texas toast-unusual, but a great idea!

I asked what they do best and the waitress confidently recommended catfish and proceeded to talk about the breading and all. A woman at a nearby table said "it's so good" and held up a piece to take a bite. I was sold and the crunch of the breading was awesome and the fish was amazing! The hand cut fries were great too. And because I needed more fried food, I ordered a side of fried pickles. Yum with ranch! My sister had the ribeye sandwich and wouldn't stop talking about how awesome it was. She loved everything about it. Made each of us try it. Talked about the marinade, the fresh mushrooms that were sauted and all the things. And the onion rings were so good she gushed. My brother-in-law had a brisket pastrami that he loved. We had a great server who was friendly, quick and knew the place inside and out! They have been traveling for three weeks and said this was the best meal of the trip! That definitely rates stars and a Yelp review!
