    a buffet with many different types of food
    Victoria K.

    Really hard to find.. You have to go i through the back or through Sears or dunhams to get inside. You get a lot of food for the price but seems like it's a lot of rice lol. Still cheap. But cash only. Just because they are hard to find and cash only I give 3*

Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or late-night munchies, the full-service menu genuinely has something for everyone, from classic omelets to more adventurous options like pork brain. The ambience is part of the charm--it still has that same old flair, giving the space a nostalgic, welcoming feel that reflects its long history without feeling dated. I especially loved the little touches, like the coat and purse holders on the wall--if you blink, you might miss them (they were hidden under garland, lol). I had the Sizzling Boys Steak Hoagie with light onions and mushrooms, plus a side of Cheddar Cheese Curds--all excellent. Halfway through my meal, I couldn't resist stealing my partner's bacon and adding it to my hoagie... OMG, it took the flavor to the next level. Highly recommend that upgrade. Jake went with two French toasts, eggs, bacon, and waffle fries (subbed for home fries) and was just as impressed. The food was delicious across the board, and our waiter--whose name I unfortunately don't remember--was amazing and incredibly attentive. Great service, great food, and a timeless atmosphere--Kissner's absolutely lives up to its reputation.

    Passing through. Absolutely best food decision make. Just go and enjoy. beautiful Main Streetread more

I got to witness how she treated a Doordash delivery person the other day. She was very rude to him. There were two customers when she had an order to be delivered, and she told him to hurry up after he had waited more than 15 minutes for the order. She placed the order on the counter opposite the register counter. The delivery person had to take a picture and I heard him say that if she put it down, he would take the picture and then she could wait on the customers. She proceeded to take the finished order and put it behind the register counter. It seemed like the delivery person wanted to help, but she did not help out the delivery person at all, and then proceeded to make him wait! I saw the delivery person leave without taking the order... By the way, I was at the counter for more than 15 minutes with the call in order. Like I said, they might have good food, but you're going to have to wait for your order to be finished. And don't expect a smile or a friendly conversation... I have gone to Moncho's restaurant, and there are people treat you well and have great food too. I would suggest going there instead!

I got an aloha pizza, I think that the chicken could have been "factory prepared chicken chunks", but it didn't matter because all the topping together made for a perfect harmony of flavors. My only thought was what if it had a sprinkle of cinnamon. Richelle got the pepperoni rolls, or you might as well call them Stromboli. The garlic butter is a good choice, creamy, and not salty. Richelle also got onion rings, which were good too but the ranch siracha is kicking it. The beer selection when we were there was wonderful for a hot July day, I got a Maumee Bay MacQueens cider and Richelle got a Oncore blueberry wet sprocket. Local beer, yum. Our server Alexis was very helpful, helping with beer selections, and dinner choices.

As per usual at most Mexican spots in the US, a dish of hot chips and fresh salsa arrived for us to much on. We also ordered one of our favorite go-to appetizers, a white cheese dip with jalapenos. It was exactly as we'd expected. For main dishes, my wife ordered the Seafood Mexicano Special served with fish and shrimp in a cheesy sauce along with Mexican rice. I ordered the Defiance Special consisting of a tamale, a couple of chicken flautas, chicken and ground beef nachos (topped with lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole, sour cream) along with sides of rice and beans. It was a lot of food and it came out hot, fresh and fast. We filled our bellies and were off on our way to West Lafayette, IN.
