No kidding, don't let the gas station vibes throw you, this place has great eats. We walked in through the gas station part of the building and were surprised to see the rustic decor of a medium sized dining area and an adjacent bar. It was a pretty full dining room and we sat ourselves. It didn't look promising as we saw one waitress and one bartender. However, after a brief wait, the waitress came to our table and assured us she would return as quickly as possible to get our drink and food orders. She returned as promised. Our drinks arrived a short time later. They were well made and attention was paid to get us another round as we finished the first. Our table had ribs, prime rib and a French dip sandwich. The portion size was great and the food arrived hot. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was tasty. The prime rib had great flavor, was prepared as ordered and had very little fat. The French dip was also tasty. Truth be told, a salad bar would make this a true five star rating. The salads served with the meal were nice but very run-of-the-mill. Will we go back in the future? You betcha!

We had a larger group, and I definitely recommend making a reservation if you have a group larger than 4. They offer a soup of the day - highly recommend per a regular. It was baked potato soup the day of my visit and I can say, it was really, really good! I ordered a build-your-own burger, which comes with a side of chips. It was good and exactly what I wanted that day. They offer a variety of pies and cakes for dessert, though I did not try any. The overall appeal is the small-town charm and friendly, attentive service. If you are in the area, it is a nice stop and I recommend whatever soup is available :)

The waiter who took our order mentioned that he was one of the chefs but had to help out front because they got swamped. I eat gluten free and there wasn't much on the menu I could eat so I asked for a turkey burger without the bun and they asked if I wanted it between lettuce leaves. It was delicious with onion and tomato. I had a side of vegetables also. My husband had chicken wings which he said were good. They were the special for the day. He said he wasn't offered any sauces and they were just plain deep fried chicken wigs which were good, just nothing special. It was a busy place on a Su day afternoon. As I said before, everyone was so friendly and accommodating. We would stop back if in the area.

Bread on the Turkey sandwich toasted perfectly and dressed with a cherry jam for butter. Really enjoyed our meal. Asked for Hibiscus tea for the road and off we went.

The restaurant is still small and at 10 am- full! We had a larger party of 6 and luckily the waitress asked a couple (no food yet) to please move from the 6-seater they were at to a 4-seater, as we were ready to say "uncle" and leave without ordering. Back in the day, Rosy would have never let 2 people sit at a table for 6. As for the food- the giant pancake was a standout. Huge and thick and yummy! Loaded with butter and syrup the entire table ate pieces of it. I had a cheeseburger and fries, it was good- not special but ok. I think the hash remains a favorite of my fellow diners. You can now get hash everyday (back in Rosy's time- it was a twice a week treat). Service is overall a bit slow- but cooking space is limited and they were busy- so it was expected. It's still a cash only business. So bring your dollars, patience, and an appetite!
