It is worth the stop just to see all the Route 66 memorabilia. The entire restaurant is decorated with a Route 66 theme. Having lunch or dinner of comfort food at this roadside diner, is a bonus. Looking at the menu, I was thinking about Chicken Wings or a Buffalo Chicken Wrap. Then I started chatting with three blue collar workers at the counter, they recommended the Fried Chicken and a Ham & Cheese Sandwich. They actually said, everything is really good. The restaurant was packed at 12:30 PM, so it must be true. When the waitress came to take my order, I ordered a Pork Fritter Sandwich. It basically was a Fried Pork Tenderloin Sandwich. The waitress said I make a good decision. It was on the thick side and the crispy coating had good seasoning. I only had them add, pickles and onion. It was served on a hamburger bun Instead of the chips that came as a side, I paid for an upgrade to fries. The fries were super crispy and skinny, reminisce of old-time Steak & Shake fries. The service was hospitable. It was obvious who were regulars and which one of us were first timers. That really didn't matter, we all got the same attentive service. There's a huge Route 66 Sign across the street, that is perfect for pictures. Smile!

We ordered drinks, an appetizer and a couple pizzas. Drinks and appetizer came out quickly along with the side house salad I ordered which consisted of lettuce, tomatoes, black olives and mozzarella.

Pizzas came out oven hot and loaded with mozzarella on top. Crust was crisped to perfection and the toppings were plentiful. All in all a very pleasurable eating experience and the staff was on top of everything. Thanks Roma's, we will be back!!

Family-owned, Roma's was a delightful experience. After being seated, we were greeted by a friendly server and ordered our beverages. Browsing the menu, I ordered a Bosco Stick and a medium pizza. The Bosco Stick was warm and filled with gooey cheese. It reminded me so much of the Bosco Sticks I would eat as a child. The meat sauce was a great addition to use as a dip and wasn't too meaty. I ordered a medium pizza with extra cheese, jalapeños, and mushrooms. It was so good! The pizza came out about 25 minutes after ordering and satiated my pizza craving! Roma's is nothing fancy, however, it is a comfortable environment with delicious and affordable food. Next time I am in town, I will have to come back!

I didn't end them, but I bonus was, a hook and outlet was under the bar right in front of my stool. I didn't want the Friday special, even though some Fried Fish was tempting. All I wanted was some of their incredible hand cut and breaded onion rings. I paired them with a 6 piece bone in chicken wings in mild sauce. When served, I was pleased to see my order had equal flats and drums. The wings and rings were very filling. I ended up taking two rings and one flat and one drum home. They re-heated very well for the next days lunch. The service was a little off, but I will admit they were slammed. The bartender was slow on greeting and doing follow-up. It may have helped if they had an extra person behind the bar. Even a bar-back would have helped. They may have lost a star this visit, but I am sure they'll get it back soon.

It was a blend of vanilla custard, fresh strawberries and hard-shell chocolate. It looked so delicious in the clear plastic cup, all three of the ingredients were swirled together. I would have taken a picture to capture the beauty, but with the high temperatures I just started to devour my sweet treat. I was sitting on their spacious patio, so it was melting fast and I was trying to eat it as quickly as it was melting. I would have preferred to been able to slowly eat it and truly enjoy the rich flavor of the custard and strawberries. However, sipping on the melted custard with the chunks of chocolate, did make for a nice treat, too. I'm coming back to try some of the food. The inside dining room was filled with senior citizen couples enjoying lunch. If it's good enough for them, I am confident I'll enjoy it, too.

My cousins Aunt (from her other side of the family) turned me on to Geno's. She is older then Geno's and sings the praises of the Wednesday special. On Wednesday, they offer what I'd call a, Blue Plate Special. It's a healthy sized serving of Meatloaf, a side of Mashed Potatoes with Brown Gravy and daily vegetable. The day I went, I enjoyed Green Beans. It was comfort food at its best. True down-home cooking. I had also heard from other Onion Ring addicts, that the ones at Geno's were pretty impressive. When dining alone, an order of Rings and an entree can be too much food. However, to my surprise Geno's allows you to pay a minimal up-charge for a side of Onion Rings. In my opinion that is genius. I was able to enjoy my juicy cheeseburger and instead of a side of fries, I got to experience their famous house made onion rings. They were large rings, well breaded and crispy. They also paired perfectly with the burger. My next visit will be to try their chicken wings. I've heard they are the best in Madison County. Service has been nice and friendly. The type of service you'd expect at an old school family ran restaurant. Very comforting and welcoming.
