    We live in KC and travel thru Palmyra every holiday. The four of us order a horseshoe every time. No menu needed. Great Horseshoes.

    Love the ambiance, very nice curb appeal. Love their pies they are wonderful. The service was good…read morehowever that's where it all stops. We have been there 3 times and every time expecting different results. What I have to say is the food is just so so. Everything I have ordered is just lack luster with no great flavors. I have ordered walleye which I'm sure was not what I ordered no way tasted like walleye! I have also ordered chicken which was MEH! Not sure what the 3rd was but I do know it was not memorable. I sure think this could be a fantastic place if the entrees were better.

    My sister-in-law told me about this place, so I decided to give it a try. Diamond Mineral Springs…read morewas established in 1892. Now that's a lot of history right there. There is a main dining room and a back porch dining room during the summer. It's kind of hard to find because it's out in the country North of Highland, Illinois. There is a nice big asphalt parking lot. The building looks like a beautiful old farm house to me. I love big ole porches! When you step inside, you can really feel the history. I adore the old wooden floors and beams. The hostess was so nice and told us to sit wherever we wanted. I love booths, so I headed to the back wall and snuggled into a tiny wooden booth. Hubby wasn't too happy because the booths are small, but I loved it. We had a young man as our server and he was so friendly, helpful and took very good care of us. Now the food is served family style. Each person is allowed to pick an entree and then the sides are served family style. You don't get a choice for sides, it's pretty much whatever is on the blackboard on the wall. I'm not a big fan of that, but I was ready to just roll with whatever and enjoy the experience. Hubby ordered the pork and dressing and I ordered the fried chicken. The first thing to arrive was a small bowl of Cole slaw. It was the vinegar kind and it was really good. Then our dinner came. We received bowls of mashed potatoes, green beans with bacon and onions, gravy, biscuits and a big squeeze bottle of apple butter! Then of course, hubby got a big plate of shredded pork and dressing covered in gravy. I got a plate full of fried chicken! The fried chicken was great! Hubby ended up eating half of mine. He said the pork was just okay. The mashed potatoes, green beans and biscuits were also great! I didn't try the apple butter, but I'm sure it was good. This place is kind of known for its pies, so we had to get pie...right?! Hubby got cherry pie and I got chocolate meringue pie. Okay, unfortunately the pie wasn't that great. They had the dreaded 'soggy bottom.' They probably weren't that fresh and that's okay. I still ate most of mine. The meringue was yummy. We had a fun, delicious experience in a very old historic restaurant. My only complaint is how expensive it was. But as hubby keeps reminding me, that's just how everything is right now. Any place you go to eat seems to be so expensive. Every time I go to the grocery store I about have a stroke. So I understand why it was expensive, but my frugal side just doesn't like it. Hopefully, prices will come down again in the future. If you're in the area, give this place a try, it might just bring back some wonderful memories of days gone by.
