Chicken is their name, but the menu covers everything you would expect in a small-town diner. Breakfast was our meal of choice today. They lay a plate of breakfast goodness on the table here! My usual again today, check the pictures. Everything cooked perfectly as ordered. The honorable mention awards on the plate go to the bacon and the gravy. The bacon cooked crisp, the way I like it. Not for everyone's taste; it works for me. This was crisp bacon, country smoke house thick cut. Sturdy and crisp enough that I could use it as a knife cut the eggs up. Or maybe even use it to butter toast. Yeah, I liked it. The gravy appears to be real, homemade. If it was a mix, then the cook gave it some extra love with sausage drippings. It was good. A big clean restaurant, Excellent friendly service. Easy access. Today's Café table top advertisement winner is Larry's Body Works. Not an especially creative or catchy ad, but I liked the picture of Larry's Rat Rod!

There were lots of servers, so we were well taken care of, but I felt rushed through the meal. We had not been in before, so it took some time to decide what we wanted. The menu is a little hard to follow with some things listed on a menu board on the wall (that no one pointed out to us). The waitress came back like every two minutes asking if we were ready, so we just felt a little rushed through that process. The food itself was hit and miss. My son did not enjoy the chicken fried steak sandwich, but my other son loved his Monterey chicken. Some of our chicken strips were good and some were really tough. The fried chicken and grilled chicken sandwich were both pretty good. Overall, it was ok, but not our best meal of the trip.

Maybe the best Burger on Grand Lake. I was surprised. This…read moreburger patty was a full half pound, cooked perfectly medium. What I was not expecting was the charbroil flavor. It was really really good. A burger that didn't need anything. Meat and bread. It did come with LTP&O on the side. M, M or K were available on the table. It comes with a side of your choice. I got okra, my wife got fries. If the restaurant would pizazz up those fries, they would definitely have the best burger combo on the shore line of Grand Lake. Good friendly service. Taking a little too long for the food. Unfortunately, our server got involved with cleaning the floor. Our food sat on the counter a little too long. Only warm when it arrived. - 1 star. Comfortable diner café environment. The burger ....excellent. I would come back here to have a burger. I will never pass up a good char burger.

We seem to be working through the "hand held" menu. So far we've tried the burger, the Yard Bird, and today, the Philly sandwich and the Ruben. Loved the sandwiches today. Fries were still good! Our server, while good, was hilarious (and not sure he meant to be). When asked if they had beer on tap, he responded with "That's from the hose, right?" So, there's no beer on tap, but they do have three or four Marshall's and Coop's F-5 (in cans). The Blind Swine Limeade is super good! We were told that they are going to try to stay open as long as possible this season, bringing in heaters as needed. I know that they've got music planned for the next four Saturday nights.

(Not to stereotype, but it's not what one usually expects or gets from the other side of the speaker.) Food was great and super hot upon delivery.

I had the infamous chicken fried steak which I found, unfortunately, not as good as reported by others. It was not the expected crispy fried deliciousness but instead was flat and tasted floury like it had not cooked out. We did get dessert to go, sister had the coconut cream pie, which again was delicious. I had the apple cobbler which I found to be soggy and inedible for me. So she hit the jackpot that evening and I was left disappointed. I should have gone with my first instinct which was the fish... I may have really enjoyed it but who knows.

Very good brisket sandwich. Tender and flavorful. Pulled pork was good too. I wasn't greatly impressed with the sides. But, it may have been what we chose--the beans and the mac 'n cheese. The beans were an old style bbq type, not your regular baked beans but they were totally homemade. Just be aware if you wanted baked beans. The mac 'n cheese was advertised as having green chili and bacon. I got some green chili but no bacon. I would go with a different side next time. We will be stopping again. Very convenient on your way to the lake! They anchor the new food truck area. There's usually a cookie vendor, lemonade and burgers, and Fruity Patootie there too.
