Once for breakfast and once for lunch or dinner. I've never had the seafood night, but it's been recommended multiple times in conversation and here in other reviews.

Upon entering, dirty tables everywhere and it was so hard to find a clean table to sit at. Dirty floors, dirty windows, buffet with people hovering over it while standing in line to pay their bill. It's ok to have an older restaurant but they must keep it clean! My husband never uses a straw, but he did today - scared the cup may be dirty...we know some folks that come here so we stayed because we just needed to see if it got better and why they come...it's a hard no! Long wait, extremely salty food, sad presentation of the food appearance. I had images of the kitchen in my head after seeing the front of the house. We've never been to Cross City - assuming it's a fishing town - which is cool but other than that, not much here. The pros - waitress was nice and seemed to like her job. I liked all the patriotic decorations. Well we were really hoping to like this establishment, but not for us, oh well, we came, we tasted, we saw, and now we move on.

The beet salad is quite good. The pizza is solid. The desserts are tasty. There are always lots of specials to go along with the regular menu fare. It honestly reminds me of a New Jersey-style diner doing its thing in rural Florida. The friendly service is top-notch, no long wait for drinks, refills, etc.

This visit, I ordered the eggplant appetizer and was given a choice of sauces. The marinara sauce won. For lunch I ordered the lasagna with meatballs. My dining companion ordered colossal burger with onion rings. OMG. I want to move in here. The sauce is homemade, the lasagna homemade and the crust on the garlic bread made in house. The colossal burger was perfectly cooked according to request, but the meat was very well flavored with good, crispy bacon. My eggplant appetizer was crispy and perfectly fried served with that great sauce for dipping. The lasagna- so good. Perfectly balanced with noodles and contents. The meatball was delicious with a hint of sweetness to it. The dessert list was long and looked fantastic. All were made in house. The service was top notch and the chef delightful. Make your way here but don't pass it!

To our surprise, the non-assuming quiche plate my partner got, and the burger bowl I got, were both delish!! The quiche was simple, but cooked to perfection. It comes with a bowl of side salad with a delicious maple balsamic dressing, a blueberry muffin, and a slice of tomato and lettuce on the plate. The quiche has a nice, homemade crust that's surprising light and just pure goodness. The burger bowl was a deconstructed burger without the bun. I got it with grilled chicken, and it was, of course, cooked to perfection. Juicy and flavorful, which is hard to achieve for most places. The salad was fresh, and the homemade Grumpy's sauce was delicious as well. The waitress was sweet. Service was on point. Price is good. Place is nicely decorated and clean. Both this place and the town of Madison has exceeded our expectations. We will for sure come back when we're around next year.

Most of the food is fried, so I try very hard to be moderate with the fried food.

This is one of three primary local restaurants and you will learn quickly where the cowboys, hunters, loggers, fishermen and other regulars sit to talk.
