On my continuing drive-about breakfast adventures, I stumbled into Edison Depot -- part restaurant,…read morepart coffee shop, part ice cream parlor, and 100% small-town charm. First impression? The place was incredibly clean -- the kind of clean where you almost hesitate to set down your coffee mug because you don't want to mess up the shine. Inside, the locals were holding court: talking crops, local happenings, and laughing like this was their morning news network. It felt less like eavesdropping and more like I'd been drafted into the Edison Breakfast Club. I went with the Country Fried Steak and scrambled eggs (the waitress must've sensed I needed backup protein). The food was solid, classic diner fare -- hearty enough to fuel a day of farming, driving, or just another round of local gossip. The real MVP? The service. My waitress treated coffee refills like an Olympic relay -- the bottom of my cup never once saw daylight. For the tribe, I ordered a breakfast bowl, a half order of biscuits and gravy, some bacon, and even oatmeal to keep things balanced. The portions were generous, and it all packed up neatly for the road. Pro Tip: Don't just come hungry, come curious. Sit back, sip your coffee, and you'll leave knowing more about Edison crops than you ever planned. Verdict: Edison Depot is the kind of place where breakfast isn't just a meal -- it's a community event with eggs, gravy, and unlimited coffee on the side.

This is just a diner so I am rating it as such. Personally I have lower expectations for little…read morediners compared to normal restaurants. It's a unique place with an old train car built into the structure. Be careful on the steps. Tjey don't have anything vegan and not much is vegetarian, but my parents enjoy the burgers and say it's much better than fast food. I had a grilled cheese with fries. It was good, if a little basic, but it was also really cheap. Could make it at home, but nice to eat out sometimes. Much cheaper than grilled cheese at a food truck. The burgers are cheaper than fast food so it is better to go here as opposed to a fast food chain. They also have an ice cream parlor, but I haven't tried that yet. Over it's pretty good.

While traveling home we stopped for dinner. The place was packed but they had separated seating…read morewith transparent barriers. It was quiet loud, but we were seated in the lower level - it was a bit quieter. The best part, other than the scrumptious food and the fun decor, was our waitress!

I will never bring my family again. My son daughter in law and I went to this restaurant for lunch…read more It was NOT crowded. Getting seated was quick and it was downhill from there. The food looked amazing and the taste was below any authentic Mexican food I have had and I have had a lot from different areas of the country. This was by far the worst of the worst. Our server was okay but we asked for a manager as our gringo sampler was missing several items, my son's steak was overcooked and extremely fatty , the Birria tacos that I ordered were bland as if in not even a salt shaker was attempted, and there was absolutely no flavor to the consume. The onion rings on the gringo sampler tasted like they were fried in old grease. The only thing that was good on there was the queso. We asked for a manager and we advised that there was no manager there. Eventually a gentleman came over and I'm using that term lightly and asked us if we had a question so we explained our concerns and our issues. His response was making excuses and not one apology for anything. He was extremely rude, even when we said it was our first time here and our last.

To start, the town is a small place with friendly people. The ambience of the restaurant is…read morecalming, old timey vibes, but really nice. The food is cooked to order, so it is fresh. It all tastes really good, and best of all, the price is lovely. I mean, if you need to feed a family on a budget, go here. If you are hungry or starving , go here. It is like going to your mom's place and having a good relaxing breakfast. Friendly service, helpful owners, and they don't cheap out on ingredients or anything. Worth the 3.5 hour drive from indiana to there!

"Fried Bologna, World Affairs, and One Legendary Brad"…read more Longer review but wanted to share. Traveling through central Ohio, I decided to detour for something unique--and landed at Homestead Family Restaurant in Fredericktown. I walked in around 7:30 AM and immediately spotted a table of 8-10 older gentlemen who looked like they were actively solving the world's problems. (Global warming? Inflation? Or just the eternal question of whether the Buckeyes will ever win big--hard to say.) The place oozes classic small-town America charm. I parked myself at the big U-shaped counter, and before I could even think about coffee, a hot cup appeared in front of me. Service here is fast, friendly, and so welcoming it feels like they've known you for years--even if you just rolled in off the road. The menu had those retro comfort food gems you rarely see anymore. And there it was: Fried Bologna Omelet. Pennsylvania has scrapple. Hawaii has Spam. Southern Ohio has Goetta. Central Ohio? Central Ohio proudly waves the fried bologna flag. I ordered the Bologna Omelet with fried potatoes, plus a biscuit with sausage gravy (because if you say no to sausage gravy here, you'll probably get escorted out). The food was very good. Potatoes could've used a little more time in the pan (maybe par-boiling first), but hey--still plenty tasty. For the "tribe," I grabbed: Breakfast Bowl (potatoes, eggs, American cheese, topped with sausage gravy--basically edible joy). Sausage Biscuits and Gravy (aka, double-down on gravy, because life is short). Everything hit the spot. The place is neat, the food hearty, and the service top-notch. But here's what really made the stop unforgettable: Brad. Brad is a local legend and was celebrating his birthday that morning. He sat next to me, gave me the lowdown on the town, and greeted everyone like the unofficial mayor of Fredericktown. The entire restaurant seemed to be there for him. Brad is a kind, gentle soul--the kind of person who makes you think, "You know what? This world really does need more Brads." Final Thought: Homestead Family Restaurant isn't just about good food (though the fried bologna omelet and sausage biscuit & gravy are worth the trip). It's about community, character, and the people who make small towns special. If you're in the area, stop by. Even if you're not hungry, you might meet Brad--and trust me, that's better than dessert.
