    I especially like their hamburgers! I think they're delicious! Also, the taco salad is really good!

My haystack was DELICIOUS and that cinnamon toast is to DYE for. And they're not chintzy with the butter either. Nice diner atmosphere. Glad we stopped in before heading out of town.

We came after the lunch crowd, but too early for dinner!! ( That's the best time! ) We sat at the corner area. We were a party of 9. I didn't catch our waitress's name, however, she did an excellent job keeping up with up with our group. We had ordered Golden Fried Mushrooms, Fried Okra, and Mozzarella Sticks for the appetizers. For the most part, everyone had ordered the double or triple bacon cheeseburger burgers. One of the kids ordered the Frito Pie and Chicken Strips. Overall, a FANTASTIC choice for a family outing!! The food was made to order. The fries and tater tots were crispy outside and moist on the inside. Our burgers were tasty and moist!! The kids enjoyed their meals. A few people ordered the cherry limeade and raved how good it was. We had a FABULOUS experience!! Our waitress took our orders and didn't have anyone help her. She kept coming back to make sure we were ok. She made refills on our drinks as needed. She was friendly and helpful. Iggy's Diner has great menu choices. They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Prices were reasonable and the food was tasty with friendly service. The diner is well maintained with ample parking. What's not to love?!?!

    Good stop along Historic Route 66. To be fair, the name grabbed my attention. Located in a newer…read morearea of town, near Harbour freight, there is plenty of parking around the building. Seat yourself, a waitress quickly stopped by with menus and took a drink order. The menu is pretty big and includes breakfast and a kids menu. I ordered hot tea and am so happy to have received a cup of tea with a pot of tea back-up! Yes, all the tea please. The lemons on the side added to my tea joy. It's the small things. My SO ordered himself an open faced roastbeef sandwich. This is shredded roast on top of a sweet roll smothered in gravy with a side of mashed potato. He certainly ate it like it was tasty. (I did confirm - it is tasty.) I went with an a la carte breakfast of two eggs and one pancake. The pancake had a slightly sweet taste and is fluffy. The eggs were cooked perfectly 'over easy'. You can tell they are cooked as eggs should be over a low heat - no scorch marks on the outer edge. Bathrooms are in the back left corner and are cleanest where it matters most. Diaper station in the ladies room. During our visit many of the guests knew each other and chatted amongst themselves. All the staff we came in contact with were friendly. They kept a close eye on all the guests making sure everyone had everything they needed. All together a good stop.

    My daughter and I visited Otter Cove recently (6-27-2024), and unfortunately, our experience was…read morequite disappointing. My daughter's hot dog arrived cold, and after we brought it to the waitress's attention, it was returned to us seemingly refried, with the bun still cold. This raised concerns about food safety as the hot dog had already had a bite taken out of it. Additionally, while her hot dog was in the kitchen, I took a bite of my BLT and noticed something off with the bacon--whether it was an odd smoky flavor or simply due to prolonged heating, I'm uncertain. At that point, we decided to ask if we could settle the bill for our fries and drinks and find dinner elsewhere. When the waitress returned, she said they could remove the cost of the hot dog but not the BLT (that I had only taken one small bite of before deciding better of it). I asked if this decision came from the manager, but the waitress explained the manager was temporarily unavailable and she had to ask the cashier. She let us know we could wait for the manager and we did, which only took about 5-8 minutes. When a man hung up the phone and approached us, he directly informed us that the general manager had authorized a 20% discount on the BLT but that they could not remove the charge. I questioned whether they were aware that the hot dog had been returned to the fryer after being partially eaten, and if they knew about the bacon issue. He confirmed she was aware and did not correct me when I stated they had put it into a communal fryer that other people's food would also be cooked in. I reiterated that we were willing to pay for what we did consume--excluding the hot dog and the BLT--and leave, but if we were to pay for those items and still must find dinner elsewhere, I would leave a review of our experience. He then apologized and explained he was trying to fix up the place. We wished him good luck, paid for what we consumed as well as what we couldn't safely consume, and left, opting to end our evening elsewhere. Our interaction with the staff regarding this request was less than satisfactory. While the staff was apologetic, it seems they are not permitted authority to make customer service decisions on their own. The handling of our concerns, particularly regarding food quality and safety, left us disappointed. I've previously had positive experiences at Otter Cove, but this incident, particularly the practice of putting touched products anywhere near other people's food or actually IN the shared fryer, is concerning and not reflective of past visits. I hope this feedback encourages improvements in food handling and customer service.
