    other than the iron skillet closing all in all it's still a decent petro clean maintained the Wi-Fi though is works when it wants to unfortunately still have a pool table little game room TV room still comfortable chairs.. showers got good water pressure that's one thing I can say.. travel stores pretty much like any other this one across as a Dunkin Donuts Express and they do keep it fresh in the main building. as far as the fuel Island they still have the deli out there with all the great greasy-spoon goodness at you like their famous fried bologna sandwich is pork chops and all the other stuff the hours of that changed though. sometimes your graveyard shift is completely closed at night depending on who's working the deli. also a running problem for a long time they don't really keep track of their coffee by the times of coffee is not maintained every hour for Dunkin Donuts rules they could be a little sketchy but you let him know they will get off their butts and come make it fresh realizing they screwed up.. the main building always has fresh coffee. Kentucky now getting on board with everybody else with the polystyrene ban. the Dunkin Donuts coffee cups are no longer made styrofoam but paper they don't burn your hands which is a good thing..you will soon see that more and more with the plastic and polystyrene ban of 2021 most places are going into effect early there are still some stragglers hanging around there probably will wait till the last minute I'm still curious to know about a paper straw in a hot drink it's going to suck....but it is what it is too much shit all around unfortunately it seems to be killing fish and getting stuck you could see those on National geographic what plastics have done to our world so I can understand it I just hope it's not going to be like you got to bring your own personal straw and like a glass or bamboo straw every place you go because straws will not be found LOL...but I shall put a picture up here at 1 at Dunkin Donuts new environmentally friendly paper cups I'm holding a cup now sippin it as I type this outand I can't say that yes it is definitely not going to burn your hand it's warm but that's it's not like some of those ones where you grab it and it just burns the living hell out of you where you almost drop the goddamn cup.. the travel store is still good they do keep their product fresh to they rotate that you don't find old stuff here at Glendale one thing they do do nicely and it's like any other iron skillet though but they do also have one of those little country little cordoned-off corners kind of like a poor man's Cracker Barrel with kitchy kinda bric-a-brac and knick knacks.. also like a lot of the iron skillets themselves made by Lodge the good stuff you can buy Here of course it's up to you to season your iron skillet how you like it and everybody knows seasoning in a couple of years worth until it's perfect the older the better we all know that if you've ever cooked out of an iron skillet...but found at these little crafty ones in Petros like New Paris Ohio has another one too although I did find the sign I liked lol. but it's like your other patch roads you got your CB stuff you trucker stuff that he got your little travel store stuff you know this one I never seen a little dinky beanie babies before I seen the big ones. All in all still a good place to stop going down 65 quiet no whores are Riff Raff so it's a good thing. also the Blue Beacon Truck Wash that's on the property too..

    I like their big wide parking spaces. They have double lines but even with that there was plenty for even a noob to work with.

    One of the best and most clean Iron Skills I have ever been to. Great parking for trucks and well lit up for safety.

    This place is such a hidden gem. Tucked away off the beaten path, it has that cozy, "you almost…read moredon't want to tell anyone about it" kind of charm. The space is definitely on the smaller side, which adds to the intimate feel, but I can only imagine it gets pretty tight during peak hours--especially since they don't take reservations. That said, everything else more than makes up for it. The service was genuinely excellent--attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. And the food? Absolutely worth it. Every dish we tried was packed with flavor and clearly made with care. If you're thinking about going, I'd definitely recommend timing your visit to avoid the rush. It's a small spot, but one that delivers a big experience.

    5 of us headed to Glendale from Louisville (about a 45 minute drive) for lunch and some shopping…read more Upon arrival at 11.30 am we were seated immediately by the sweet hostess. The menu is extensive so it took a minute for us to order. Everyone had water to drink. Our server brought us some fresh yeast rolls that were hot and tasty. We had the fried green tomatoes appetizer for the table. They were excellent served with sour cream and horseradish and ranch that we had to ask for additionally. Everyone ordered something different. Orders included: 1. Fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, and cole slaw. I only tried their cole slaw which leans more to a vinegar base and I prefer a sweeter slaw. There were 4 pieces of chicken. 2. Meatloaf with mashed potato and gravy and cornbread. Cornbread was a bit dry, meatloaf was ok. 3. Mushroom and bacon smothered chicken, onion rings and cornbread. Person said the chicken was a bit dry, the mushrooms and bacon saved the dish. Onion rings were good, crispy and hot. 4. Chicken and dumplings with cornbread. Folks that tasted them said they make better at home, nothing special. 5. Rueben sandwich with corn pudding. Sandwich was just ok. Bread was too thick for my taste, beef was tender. Corn pudding was excellent, hot, creamy. Service was good, resturant quaint, street parking. The train rolling by, blowing the whistle while we ate was a nice touch, although it rattled the building. After we ate, got to go containers and paid we shopped at the adjacent and across the street shops to the resturant. That was fun. After shopping we headed back to the restaurant for coffee and dessert. Again each of us had a different dessert item which included: coconut cream pie, butterscotch pie, derby pie, chocolate sundae cake and the house specially, butter cream pie. All were pretty good. We all liked the house speciality pie, it was super sweet, creamy with a good crust. Coconut pie was a favorite as was the chocolate sundae cake. The derby pie was way too chocolatey for most of us. It is a cute little little resturant with a homey feel that will take you back in time. One of those places where you should try but then say, did that, don't necessarily need to revisit.

    Delicious food served with a heaping serving of amazing views. We were greeted like family and…read moreimmediately seated at a table where we watched a barge traveling down the Ohio river. There were six of us and we ordered five different items - 2 opted for the country fried chicken. Every meal was full of home cooked flavors and cooked to perfection. I had the daily special of soup and salad. The salad was fresh full of crisp lettuce, bacon, cheese, vegetables and toasty croutons. The bean soup was perfect and came with a large slice of fluffy sweet cornbread. My husband said the gravy was the best he has had in recent memory and paired with the chicken and mashed potatoes, he would definitely come back for. The bbq ribs fell off the bone and my brother in law loved them. The coconut cream pie had mile high meringue and was light and coconutty with a flaky crust. The chocolate cake was deep dark and chocolaty! The blackberry cobbler was hot and delicious! Highly recommend this restaurant for food and ambiance!!

There has been a small pub below the restaurant called " Walter's Pub" . It was not open when we arrived; but it was also a great view. There is even a large scenery binocular mounted on the deck. It was a nice sunny Thursday afternoon, so you could see the river so well. We went into the restaurant and were greeted by a display with what was hand made candy, cookies and cannoli , awesome touch. We were seated by the window giving us a constant view of the winding river. We were promptly seated and asked if we'd like any beer beverages: Crystal the waitress provided the specials of the day. We settled with the fried chicken plate and the cod plate. Drink list is fairly standard normal list ( Miller Lite, Bud Light , Coors) with a few exports "Modelo". Not many in the restaurant when arrived but customers started to increase. Food took awhile but we weren't in any hurry. The restaurant was fine up with nice easy to the eye decor. You really get the feeling of an establishment that's been here for a long time taking care of customers. Food arrived and it was a nice portion, considered is a tad higher price, you get nice sized portions. Crystal was very good and nice waitress and took care of us. A small detail but I really liked it was waitress/waitress's name was on a card in a small block of wood on the table- small but nice touch. Many people don't ask or hear their servers name so it's sweet. Chicken was nice plump breast's, nice coating and so moist as I took a bite. Very , very moist and tasty. My wife had the cod sandwich; came with nice sized 2 portioned fillets. French fries with both and not bad, crispy. I had coleslaw as a side; it was very tasty if I must say! The cod was really tasty and had a nice crust to it as well. We took to go box with 1 of each piece cod and chicken home. But I was intrigued by the cannoli; so one to go. Nice place; scenic and great people and food! Stop if you get the chance! Thank you Crystal!
