Boy, was I wrong! I went in early June 2026. We lingered around the garden seeds, canning supplies, bulk meats. There were so many grocery items on sale that are not featured in their flyers! Oh, and since June is National Dairy Month, we were treated to a free soft serve cone. The staff is helpful and efficient. Next trip I hope to enjoy lunch there. See you in 2027.

Ok I had not been to the new location yet So a couple extra…read morebucks And a bit of time extra Off to cantril Right on Hwy 2 is the new location From the outside it looks BIG Large parking lot But on the inside well.... Spacious More room to walk inside Lunch prime time maybe 12:45 ish Small serve your self and pay by the lb 12/lb plus drink think bishops with not much to choose from Pepsi products for fountain drinks And coffee Smoked chicken, meatloaf, cheesy mashed potatoes, green beans They were out of noodles.... 25 bucks for two for a basic one trip thing Meatloaf was good green beans were ok Mashed potatoes were ok Chicken had a different taste might to have been oak smoked or an exotic wood.. I am spoiled as a chef lol The chicken was ok... No free ice cream they wanted a buck for cup or cone. It was ok on the food... but we drove past a few places that would to have been same price for 2x the food. Off to shopping More room for folks Hard to find some of the specials And out and out bait and switch on the Nathen's hot dog deal the add listed the plain all beef and what was in the store was the ultra spicy ones... That was my main reason for the trip as 99 cents per lb would have been good for a winter stock up item... They did have the biscuits as box of 100 for 20 bucks And bulk fish triangles for 1.99 a lb And Heinz close dated ketchup 44 oz for 2.99 So not a total bust I might be back if I get more freezer space But I do almost as good in west of Bloomfield at Hwy 2 discount

The sweet potato fries were crispy and full of flavor, and the shakes were creamy and thick -- definitely worth ordering. I liked it so much I went back a couple of days later before heading back to my home state and tried the Maid-Rite sandwich, which was very good and affordable. We also shared the cheese curds -- they were crispy on the outside with perfectly melted cheese inside. Overall, a great stop for our road trip -- delicious food, generous portions, and a good value!
