This Iron Skillet is clean, bright and probably offers a better level of truck stop dining. Modern and spacious, well lit dining area serves as a beacon for hungry travellers near and far. The Monday night dinner buffet is $10.99. It's a full buffet offering a great selection of hot and cold entrees. Two soup varieties! What really impressed me was the beautiful, fresh salad bar with lots of vegetables, spinach, tomatoes, broccoli, olives, cucumbers and peppers, just what most Americans need to consume daily. Only advice I'd offer, easy on the salt. The fish was a tad too salty. Recommended.

Reasonable price not to expensive very tasty , our server is very nice and friendly to us , and i ordered a bison burger it was great ! The meat is awsome and i tried the potato and bacon soup which is great ! Especially in winter season , and generous portions of apple cider and hot chocolate ! And i got salad from the salad bar with dressing but the salad is pretty standart

Clean place nice buffet, fast service moderate pricing. You will not leave this place hungry, if you do it's your fault. When on the road eat were the truck drivers eat, is a rule of thought. And that place is The Iron Skillet! Enjoy All.

Triple XXX Restaurant - The Duane Purvis All American

My friends and I stopped by on a road trip. Despite how popular it is, the four of us were seated…read moreinside within 10-15 minutes. Of course, we opened up with root beer and root beer floats. I had a float and then a regular root beer later and while I DO love a good float (and this was good), Triple XXX's root beer is so good it deserves to be drunk itself. I got the famous Purvis, the burger with the peanut butter. It was...interesting. I took a bite and thought "yup; that's peanut butter". It weirdly worked? And let me tell you, these prices are GREAT. If you pay cash, you can avoid the ~$3 credit card charge but even with that, prices are AMAZING. Wonderful spot, I'll pass by every time I have an excuse.

TLDR: I'd return but I'd order differently…read more Service was very friendly and the excellent root beer flowed freely. Atmosphere is old time lunch counter with far too many pictures and posters from DDD. The food wasn't bad. The pork tenderloin sandwich was good as were the fries. I've got reservations about the Dean Purvis burger, though. It's a signature burger but as much as I believe that peanut butter is a blessing from above, it adds absolutely nothing to a cheeseburger. The counterman enthusiastically recommended adding bacon to the burger. I went for it but again, it really added nothing beyond an upcharge. The beef itself though wasn't bad at all. The onion rings were also not worth the addition. They're very much low end standard food distributor issue and distinctly 'meh.' I watched a frostie being made. It's something like an inverse root beer float, a lot of ice cream with a small amount of root beer. The number of scoops of ice cream that went into that blender was positively insane. So yeah, I'd go back but I'd order a tenderloin, a more basic burger, or something from the breakfast menu.

Best biscuits and gravy in the world (no lie)! Biscuits and gravy is a guilty pleasure no matter…read morewhat your figure looks like, but if you're going to give in to temptation, theirs are the best. I don't know how they do it, but it is always consistently wonderful. They serve breakfast all day (open daily early til 1 or 2, depending on crowd) with great omelets, eggs any way, good pancakes, and especially good French toast. American fries (sliced fried potatoes) or hash browns are available as well as either sausage or bacon. They serve fountain Coke products (yay!) and their bottomless cup of coffee is good. For lunch there are assorted plate lunches. You select the meat you want and the sides. They have good hamburgers, tenderloins, fish sandwiches -- all the traditional standard American diner choices. The JJ Special is the giant hamburger with all the fixins. Their french fries are very good and they have fried mushrooms, too. J&J's is a family owned diner. One of my favorite places for breakfast and lunch -- we always camp out there for lunch every Saturday. They have numerous 4-top tables, a long 8-top, and a round table at the back for people to sit and visit through the day. A true mid-western diner, J&J Roadhouse has a soda fountain counter with button stools. Food comes out through a window behind the counter. Milk shakes are made with real ice cream. Be sure to ask what pies are available if you are interested. I wish they had them out in one of those displays on the counter like they used to... A tv hangs near the ceiling with the volume low so those who want can follow important sports games or the weather channel. The day's Lafayette and Monticello newspapers are usually available at the end of the lunch counter. J&J has a great family feel. The decor includes Brookston memoribilia, and a giant bingo board at the back end for when the Lions hold their weekly Wednesday night bingo. It's a fun night if you can make it. There are lots of menu choices for kids (who will love sitting at the counter) and it is easily navigated with a wheelchair. I hope you like J&J Roadhouse as much as I do!

Always good food and service. Cash only. right on 43 just off 18. Restroom small not very acessable…read moreto some.

We flew off the highway to see what this farm complex was all about. It's an impressive set up with…read morea variety of spots to explore for a break from driving. Service was good and attentive. I noticed the comments about high prices, and for the area, I bet that is true. We found the prices comparable to large cities. The smoked brisket chili doesn't taste smoky, but the meat is tender and the chili flavorful. The charcuterie was good, and we loved the apple chutney. The space is open and airy. It's a very family friendly place with the bar and bourbon tasting room toward the back.

Stopped here for a break and lunch while passing through Indiana. The Farmhouse Restaurant menu…read moresaid they offer a "quick & casual lunch" and well, they weren't lying about the casual part... We ordered two lunches, both the 1/2 grilled cheese and soup. One with tomato soup and the other with chili. We also ordered the *special* $5 egg salad sandwich. The grilled cheese came out as some cheese microwaved between a soft burger bun. Really disappointing and crappy. The chili and soup were okay. The egg salad sandwich was very basic and lacking flavor, served on classic white bread. It was also a weird dining setup, it felt like we were eating in a giant and deserted beer hall. Total transparency: we both expected more from one of the nation's largest dairy farms. We also thought the food would be a little cleaner, like a farm-to-table experience and less processed, but it tasted like food we could get at a gas station. My husband was disappointed with the ice cream selection at the milk bar, he was hoping for more of a variety other than the basic strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, etc. We also needed to get DEF for our truck from the Fair Oaks BP and my husband called it "highway robbery" for the cost we paid. He said it was 2 or 3 times what he normally pays. In summary, a total tourist trap with crappy lunch food. I also didn't know about their animal abuse case from 2019 until after we left. And the allegations about neglect and improper slaughter in 2023. Gross and sad.
