The people were friendly, the place was clean and bright. The service was fantastic, Thanks Hope! The best part was the food. I had the Spicy Rooster and my wife had the biscuits and gravy.

There wasn't any service, but I didn't expect there would be. Had to do our own dishes. That would be my only critique... there was a tip jar and I was prompted to provide a tip on the card reader. Which personally frustrates me... if I order food, and you give it to me, and that's the extent of our interaction... a tip shouldn't be expected or asked.

When we arrived at 6pm on a Monday (they close at 7:30pm) the building looks pretty run down. Half the letters are missing on their sign! But the flowers were well tended and the parking lot had lots of vehicles... always a good indicator! We were greeted immediately and offered menus and water. We decided to try the tenderloin sandwich (a first for both of us). They were happy to cut it in half and prepare two sets of lettuce and toppings and give us a second plate. It was really good! There's no doubt this would have been too much food for just one of us. We split a side of fries. There's a reason this place hasn't changed much since the 1950s. It's great as it is.

Building is now red/white sandwiched between the gas station and Mexican restaurant/bar. Went for breakfast and after our drink orders were taken the server asked "Would you like a cinnamon roll while you wait?" Um.. yes! The roll was huge, hot and swimming in a plate of icing. 6 of us each took a chuck and we still had some leftover. Forgot to take picture but plenty on of pics on the other locations reviews. I had biscuits and gravy, eggs and sausage. Biscuits were fluffy and fresh and covered with flavorful sausage gravy. Everyone enjoyed their food. Others had omelettes, eggs Benedict, and chocolate chip pancake. Service was fast and friendly and it wasn't too crowded but it was a weekday when we went. Coffee cup never got more than half empty before someone came by to refill it. Will definitely be back.

He had a turkey club and I had a turkey avocado sandwich on multigrain. For sides we had cucumber salad, potato salad, and mac & cheese. A word of surprise, the potato salad is served warm, but it was really tasty. The only disappointment was the mac & cheese, which was grainy and soup-like with very overcooked noodles in it. They had no discernible shape and almost seemed like egg noodles oddly enough. We enjoyed our drinks, sandwiches and salads very much.

Followed by a Monte Cristo. The bread was so light and fluffy. The saltiness of the meat with the sweetness of the bread and sugar with a little spread of raspberry preserves delighted the tastebuds. The side of fruit was large and seasonally appropriate. You order at the counter, where I think the owner was taking the orders and the accent definitely sounded authentic German like the name of the restaurant. She was lovely. Everything is made fresh so sit back and relax and the dining area is designed perfect for that with couches, cozy chairs and comfortable seats at the tables. I looked up what the name means: "Drachenfutter" is also a term used to describe gifts or treats that someone might bring home for their significant other when they feel guilty about coming home late or drunk. True to the "gift" part of the name, you can take yummy homemade treats home with you and they do have a section of gifts you can buy. A nice gem of a place along Historic Route 66.
