    Rueben
    Anastasia M.

    Found this little gem passing through town. Everything was wonderful and actually made from scratch. The Bierock was steaming hot and seasoned perfectly. The Rueben was huge and one of the best we've ever had. The town is really cute. Service was excellent.

    Great little mom and pop restaurant where everything we had was delicious and very obviously homemade with care. The waitresses were friendly and accommodating. They have this cooler that has amazing looking homemade pies. Hubby got a piece of pumpkin pie to go and I got a homemade apricot kolache to go. You can't come to this part of the country with having a bierock! Mine was delicious. Homemade chips came with it. Our waitress told us her grandma, pointing to the kitchen has been making them from scratch for years. It was quite yummy!

    Ordered the two egg breakfast with bacon and country potatoes and upgraded to biscuit and gravy instead of toast. Perfectly cooked and delicious. Fresh pies were just out of the oven so I got a slice of coconut cream to go along with an apricot kolache. Service was excellent and it started getting busy by the time I left but the server kept up with a smile and was so friendly. I can't wait to go back and might try to hit up the lunch buffet. Oh! This place is so clean! Even the bathroom was spotless!

    The Bierock was GREAT and I'm so glad I got a chance to eat one. As for the restaurant itself, NOT! No mask or glove wearing by employees. They had a BUFFET! Like everybody goes up and gets what they want??? Crazy for these times. It was like nobody there believed there was a pandemic. SCARY!!!

    Bierrock with homemade potato chips

    Good, basic comfort food with a slight German influence. There is a buffet available as well as a menu. The Bierrock was huge and had a nice flavor. There was only one server, but she was doing a pretty good job keeping up with the steady stream of customers. Nice country style atmosphere with lots of chicken decor. Nice stopping place a couple of miles off of I-70.

    It's a crock, green beans from a can, yuk.

    We did Not like the cherry pie. I spit out the crust mushy and tasteless. Way better pies cross town in Lucas. ( see my 5 star review) Green beans are canned ( made from scratch, my as.) Service was not friendly nor welcoming ( did we bother you or woke on the wrong side of bed, not just one but two people) Not impressed with the food sadly. Town was interesting, loved the Big Egg, thrift store and Inn.

    Would recommend if you are just pasting through the area at least stop and get some pie to go. It is delicious and worth it.

    We had gone here for dinner. It was right next-door to the Avid we stayed at. Our waitress was…read moretraining a new girl so we got twice the service. Friendly and helpful. Large dining with a bar with everything. Also outdoor dining but didn't see any umbrellas so we sat inside. I got the Apple, walnut salad with chicken also blue cheese and walnuts with a creamy herb dressing and it had a little spicy kick to it..Hubby got spaghetti pie -thin spaghetti Alfredo sauce, Italian cheeses, baked in a small loaf pan and topped with cheese and marinara sauce. It was bubbling hot when it came out. I got to eat the last couple of bites I think I will try to make this it was really good.

    Stopped here to have a lunch meal before a large dinner was planned in the evening. We were greeted…read moreand seated immediately. The hostess was super customer service oriented and the server was also very much so as well. We saw that they had lunch specials for $9.99 and also Oktoberfest specials on beer: $4 pints & $5 tall steins. We ordered: Cheesy Sticks Starters, 2 Old Chicago Chopped Salads, 1 Oktoberfest Beer, and 1 Heineken 0% Alcohol Beer. Everything came out within a good amount if time: about 7 mins for the starter, and 10 mins after that for the salads. The cheesy bread was pretty good, hot and flavorful. It came with a marinara dipping sauce. The salads were tiny and served in small bowls. They definitely were not worth $10 each, but maybe $3 each, as they were side salad size, not lunch salad size. We had excellent customer service here so I kept it at 3 stars. The food quality and portion sizes was a bit off.
