The bright yellow and blue place was hopping with the Saturday lunch crowd. There are seven tables inside (all filled) and two covered blue picnic tables outside. Seating is tight, but fun. Classic soft rock plays in the background. The menu offers burgers, hotdogs, tenderloin and other assorted diner foods. People say the burgers are the best in town. Daily specials are listed on a board. They also serve local Triple X root beer and fried Oreos. Klayton took our order. The staff is friendly and efficient. Food came out quick. I had a Chicago Dog (Nathan's dogs). The dog was thick, juicy and authentic, except for the relish. The poppy seed bun was packed with pickles, peppers, tomato, onions and mustard. It was a great dog. My husband had a loaded pork tenderloin, which we were told is the "best". The enormous pork tenderloin was hand pounded and tasted super fresh. The corn meal breading was tasty. The brioche bun was toasted. He loved the tenderloin and gave it a solid "5" and said it was Trail worthy (an honor not bestowed easily). We shared an order of their crinkle cut fries. The fries were super hot and crisp. There is plenty of parking. A beautiful orange tabby greets you at your car. A freshly painted yellow fence surrounds the lot. We'll be back to try the ice cream. Super fun place. Worth the drive.

We started with the pretzel bites and the potato platter (March special). Everything was amazing! My father-in-law and I both said the pierogies tastes like they were made from scratch.

We all finished every bite of our food. The service was exceptional. I highly recommend making reservations. We will be back!

Can't wait to get another one.And there catfish is a favorite among guest. They even have specials every night. And it's not unusual to see the owner helping out. He will take you to your table and even helps bring your food out. Anything he can do to help his staff and to make you comfortable. He is very involved in his restaurant. It's a nice place but not fancy bring the kids. There's always a lot of people here, but not a long wait. There not opened on Sundays and Mondays.

The dining rooms are filled with an eclectic blend of farmhouse decor. There is a homey Midwest feel with soft country rock playing in the background. The bar is downright cozy and adorable. The menu offers a mix of burgers and sandwiches. There is also a dinner menu. Our server told us that the burgers and tenderloins are fresh and hand prepared. The tenderloins are a favorite. I had the Bbq burger with fries. The burger was thick and topped with bacon, onion rings and bbq sauce on a Brioche bun. The burger was delicious. In addition, the battered fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned. They were crispy and not too much salt. The tenderloin was good. The breaded coating was well seasoned and accompaniments were fresh. The staff is welcoming, friendly and attentive. An event room is available for weddings or parties. There is a kids menu. The place is pristine. There is free street parking in front of the restaurant. Bookers is well worth the trip.

Street Tacos are only $1.50 (10/24) on Tuesdays with choice of meat. And they're good, served with limes. The onions were sweet and not overpowering. My granddaughter had the Cheesy Rice, which was good. We split a red tamale, which was delicious with lots of pork. The place isn't fancy. You order at the counter and pay. They bring complementary chips and salsa out to the table and your food when it's ready. The clerks are friendly and efficient. The parking lot is a little dangerous with the drive through near the parking lot, so be careful.

The tiny restaurant was packed with a line waiting for a table for New Year's Eve lunch. The wait was short, maybe 10 minutes. The place is not fancy or upscale - just salt of the earth. The tables are covered in Formica and clean. It was loud inside with all tables filled and people in a festive mood. People seemed to know each other. Homemade pies filled a case $3.75 a slice. We sat in a comfy booth. The menu is a mix of traditional breakfast and lunch items. They're famous for their one pound hamburgers. I ordered the daily special Rueben Sandwich with fries and coleslaw for only $9.50. What a deal! My meal was huge. The Rueben was on toasted marble rye. There was plenty of corn beef, sauerkraut, cheese and sauce. The fries were nice and hot. The coleslaw was thin sliced and sweet. I finished my meal with a slice of Lemon Meringue pie. The slice was generous and I shared it with my husband. Krista, our server was friendly and attentive. Drink orders are taken quickly. Food comes out in a reasonable amount of time. The staff was hustling to keep up with the packed house. They have daily specials and a kid's menu. Parking is limited in their small lot but there is nearby street parking.

I don't like chain restaurants, and I'm a big supporter of small business if the price is right. This diner is probably typical of small towns, quaint, and good service.

When we drove up we were uncertain as it was a little gray building among other storage buildings. But there were about 50 cars surrounding the building. Good sign. Let me be clear, this is not upscale or trendy, but salt of the earth. There was a short line for tables. The place was hopping. The walls were covered with images of Hollywood stars. Many handwritten signs and boards described deserts, specials and featured items. We found seats within 15 minutes. The menu is filled with breakfast and lunch items that are served all day. There are quirky fun items such as sauerkraut balls (which are hand made), pickle fries and stuffed tater tots. The Memorial Day special lunch included a hot dog, hamburger slider, watermelon and a side for $8.99. The slider and watermelon called out to me. When the plate came, I wasn't expecting so much food. The slider was amazing. There were 2 smash burger patties on a nice bun with cheese, sauce and pickle. The slider was good. The slice of watermelon was massive, refreshing and fun. The homemade coleslaw is creamy and delicious. My husband ordered the Breaded Tenderloin. OMG, that tenderloin was about twelve inches in diameter and came with a large roll that dwarfed the pork. The pork was thick with a great peppery breading. He only ate half and took the rest home. We shared an order of the stuffed tater tots that were filled with potato, jalapeño, onion and cheese. Oh man, those are addictive. As we were finishing up, the owner of the restaurant approached our table. Kate Rhine has been owner/cook of The Vintage Cafe for four years. She's been a home cook since she was in fourth grade. She was cheerful and wanted to know how I liked the Memorial Day Special since I was the first to order. I loved the meal. the burger was great and watermelon and coleslaw refreshing. The hot dog was going home with us. Our server, Felicia, was great. She helped describe the menu, was attentive, super friendly and kept water glasses full. Even the fella bussing the tables was amazing and friendly. It was clear these folks were hustling to keep up with the crowd. This cafe is fun and delicious. I can't wait to go back. Thanks, YELP reviewers for leading the way.
