    Mickey Mouse pancake and Hot Chocolate
    Austin F.

    Breakfast is great, burgers are great. What more do you need? Also, they drop off a full bottle of fry sauce at the table when you order fries - now that's service!

    Food was AMAZING and HUGE portions. Our server was fast, courteous and polite. Reminds me of an old time cafe, wide open and lots of seating for guests. I give it 5+ stars!!!

    Saturday Night Burger Special: Swiss, corn beef, fried egg, grilled onions
    Thommy C.

    We stopped in this weekend for dinner. So glad we did! This is a fantastic traditional roadside diner. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. The menu has something for everyone. They had a special on Saturday night, that caught my eye, so I went for it. It was a hand pressed burger, with Swiss cheese, thin sliced corn beef, bacon, a fried egg, grilled onions and hot sweet mustard on a stoneground bun. It came with fries and a cup of pork noodle soup (which was really tasty). All, for $10! It was amazing. This burger was cooked to perfection and the flavor combination... outstanding. My wife ordered the Chicken fried steak and loved it. It came with mashed potatoes, country gravy, green beans and a dinner roll. Plus your choice of soup or salad. The portion size was huge and she said it was really great. Before leaving, we grabbed a slice of homemade apple pie, to-go. So here's the deal. I noticed some reviews suggest it's not worth the stop. Everyone has their likes and I am sure every eatery can have a bad day. All I can say is our visit was great. The food was fantastic and the service was excellent. We will visit again soon and if you are passing by, give it a try. It's well worth your time.

    Homestyle cooking at its finest! Friendly staff and easy on the eyes when it's time to order ;). You are immediately pulled into the life of a highwayman-one who knows a good chuckeag

    NY Strip Steak

    This restaurant is a cross between fast food and cafe. It has a lot of choices. Breakfast is served all day, they have soups, salads, entrées and sandwiches. They even have protein platters, which is what I ordered. Our meals came with a salad, and they were pre-boxed with dressings also in a separate container. Salads were quite large. I ordered the salmon protein plate, which came with 4 ounces of salmon, two hard-boiled eggs and fresh sliced tomatoes. It tasted reasonably good but certainly nothing out of the ordinary. My husband got the New York strip steak. It was very thin and hence could not be cooked much on the outside to get that pleasing color. It looked a little gray. Because it was so thin, his medium rare came out more like medium well. I heard a customer at another table complain about his steak being too well-done, and it's because they were cut so thin. Husband said it tasted OK, about what he expected, but the bar was set low. The amazing aspect of this restaurant is how fast and how hard our server worked! Our server was friendly, efficient, and on the run the whole time. Kudos to her! There aren't that many restaurants in town, and several were closed early with today being 3 July, so we were grateful to be to find this place open. It was filling but not much above mediocre.

    Great breakfast stop! Concise menu, plenty of seating, good coffee, and a concise menu. No substitutions, omissions or additions, though, so if you have any fussy eaters it might not work out for you. The portions are huge and food is fabulous. We were a group of four adults and all ordered from the 'small portions' menu and it was still more than enough food. Cute little gift shop for some souvenirs and a gas station to refuel.

    They didn't know what medium steak was. There didn't clean the tables that well. It was crazy I don't know if I'm going back at all!

    My husband and I split their bacon cheeseburger and tots. We still couldn't eat it all. It was all delicious.

    The food is good, but the view is what keeps me coming back. I'd give the view a 5, the food a 4,…read moreand the service a 2. This was my second visit, and unfortunately it was almost identical to the first. The welcome was not very friendly, and our waitress walked by the table several times before finally speaking to us. After that, she never really came back to check on us, ask whether we needed anything, or see how the food was. The next thing we knew, she was dropping off the bill. We ordered two appetizers, but only one was brought out. I also clearly mentioned that I have a food allergy, and she said she would let the kitchen know. Even so, the appetizer arrived with the ingredient I'm allergic to, and nothing was said about it. On top of that, the salad came with the wrong dressing. That said, the seared ahi tasted fresh, and the greens with salmon really hit the spot. The food itself was enjoyable, which makes the service issues even more disappointing. It is hard to overlook a missed appetizer, the wrong dressing, and especially the mishandling of a food allergy. This place has a lot of potential, but the service definitely needs work.

    Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 4/5 The good, food was good and fresh, all hot and made to order, the potato patties were easily the best thing on the plate. The salmon Benedict was super light on the salmon (like 2 thin strips per each piece, actually pretty disappointing for the price.) Chicken in the waffle and the biscuit dish were fried chicken breast (not sponge meat) and hot and juicy. Stuffed French toast was good as well. Overall, not a bad experience given the lake views in the background. Oh, if you park your car in the parking lot out front, BEWARE, a golf ball could hit and shatter your driver side window...like ours got hit. Happy Vacationing
