    I mean, when they bill themselves as a "lunch counter soda fountain gift shop" you just have to go…read more Because that's exactly what they are. Soda fountain. Lunch counter. Gift shop. All of those things mixed together and twisted and pulled into a sweet singular strand of small town taffy. We bellied up to the bar later than we had hoped, in mid-afternoon. We met the current manager who explained the history of the spot, and while it's a little spotty, they've been around a long time in one form or another. She was related somehow to the original owner and it's passed through generations of families. There are strange gifts, new gifts, a lunch counter, booths, and a small menu board. We came in post-hike and got burgers because of course you get burgers. I can sum up the vibe of the food and the whole experience thusly: ME: "Wow, this tomato looks like it came from the garden." HER: "Ya, we get them from a guy who grows them for us. He's actually my old history teacher." Local, small, quirky, but very very delicious. Simple. I'm off shakes but by dining partner got one and it filled the cavity well. You have to stop in here when in Roosevelt. It's small town history teacher tomato good.

    The food was fantastic! Their fried scones with honey butter were amazing. I had the patty melt…read morewith the best sweet potatoes fries I've ever had. My husband had the Gomer's Pile breakfast dish, which he loved. Our friends had the Philly steak sandwich and the grilled cheese with bacon and tomatoes. We all thought the food was great. For a little town in the middle of nowhere, the food was terrific. The service was excellent. Their Italian lemon cake was light and tasty. Don't miss this place!

    Three stars, and I'll be upfront that location is doing some heavy lifting here. In a small town…read morewith limited options, this place fills a gap. In a larger city, it would struggle to compete. The building itself is a highlight, a charming old historic structure with genuine ambiance that a lot of restaurants would kill for. The waitstaff were friendly and attentive, and the bathrooms were clean. On the hospitality side, no complaints. The food is where things fall apart. They bill themselves as a pub, but the beer selection is canned only, which is a stretch of the concept. The menu leans entirely on frozen, fried fare cooked in oil that has seen better days. It's the kind of food that makes you appreciate what pub food is supposed to be. If you're passing through and need a meal, it works. Go in with modest expectations, enjoy the building, and appreciate the service. Just don't go in hungry for anything memorable.

    We came for breakfast on a Sunday morning and they were really busy. We got on the waiting list…read moreand then stood outside until they called our name. The seating is in one large room. We were seated at a table in far end of the room. Once seated it's hard to get in and out from the wall seat because the table are pretty close together. I ordered the Spinach, Mushroom and Swiss 4 Egg Omelet. They asked me if I wanted 2 or 4 eggs and I chose 4. As a substitute for the potatoes, I opted to choose the avocado which came as a slice 1/2 of avocado. For my toast option, I chose the single pancake, but could also have chosen a scone. The scone wasn't on the menu as a option, so I missed this when I ordered. My omelet was very flavorful, although a bit dense. I attributed that to the 4 eggs fitting into a 2 egg form factor, but I really don't know that for sure. The avocado was a good complement to the omelet and worked out very well. The pancake was delicious. There was syrup on the table and butter came on the plate. I gobbled it right down and thought that I maybe should have got another one. I have eaten here before when I was in the area, and will likely return again when up here. The busy nature of the restaurant is offset by the good quality food.

I felt bad about a single taking a 4 topper but the tables turn over quickly. Breakfast and lunch are served all day. Both have a lot of inexpensive choices. Somewhat overwhelming so I took the servers choice of sandwich. Turkey melt on sourdough. The sandwich was awesome. The service was great. I'd recommend as a stop.

    We had read some reviews and thought this would be a great place to stop in and have some delicious…read morefood... In fact the morning breakfast room had talk from other people of how great dinner was... We were not disappointed! We asked what was recommended and our server Sarah had a whole list of things that she thought we might like... We found out that they make all their own homemade sauces and dressing... And she wasn't wrong... There were six of us and we enjoyed crisp, fresh salad, and the dressings were amazing. I had blue cheese and it was just a perfect amount of blue cheese and dressing... Our friends had the Stromboli and they wolfed it down. They said it was really good and you can choose between homemade marinara or homemade ranch or both. My friend and I had the same calzone filled with all kinds of deliciousness... I have to say it was probably the best calzone I have eaten the reason why is because I don't know what they do to their crust but it's light. It's not so heavy and. "doughy".. in fact, it was so good that my husband wants to go back for lunch tomorrow and get his own calzone... He chose to get the lasagna and gosh that came out in its own skillet and it was bubbling and looked fantastic. He ate every little bit of it and said it was absolutely absolutely delicious. We had a great time at Gio's and the place was clean and cozy and has quite quite a bit of seating so it was really comfortable....
