This is a really neat little place. I love the layout and the overall aesthetic. All of the desserts look very scrumptious. So many unique and tasteful items on the menu. There wasn't much to my spinach salad, but that's okay because I like to keep my lunch light. This might be a nitpick, but the silverware, straws, etc kinda seem to be scattered about in different areas. Overall, I like the place and I definitely want to come back and try some of their other goodies!

Oriental Chicken Salad

Amazing, as always. It's no secret that I love coming when the crab cakes are on the menu. This visit, I had my mom with me and she got the oriental chicken salad. I tried a new dessert this time around, the mint chocolate cake and it did not disappoint. I'm glad I thought ahead and got an extra order of the crab cakes, I ended up taking one to work with me over the weekend.

Chicken Salad Club Croissant

I always have something delicious at The Old Diary! Today I had Chicken salad on a croissant served with chips and a salad. Dessert was Monster Cookie Pie. What I like about this restaurant is that it serves delicious food with a unique style! I always experience something new there!

Terrific Raspberry Cream pie! Very busy little place. The service was a little slow but with the crowd..not surprising.

I checked in and got a Yelp offer for a $2 slammer. Cool!…read more After walking down from the truck stop out on US-36, I was ready for a good meal. The restaurant sits at the corner, and it has 3 tables inside. During my visit, I was the only person who sat inside. Most customers were walk-ins and the took their orders to go. They have a walk-up window and a nice family stopped by as they took their dog for a walk. I would say the bulk of their menu consists of hot dogs and ice cream creations. With such a limited menu, I was still able to walk out a satisfied customer. Amanda was my pleasant server. I started off with a pulled pork sandwich and it was delicious. Still hungry, I tried a chili cheese dog. OK, my appetite was still there, so the cheese nachos finished off my meal. So what about that $2 Slammer? Even though I was full, and even though I know when to say 'when', I ordered the Slammer - it's like a Blizzard at another restaurant. It was very good. Both the exterior and the interior were well kept and clean. The ample size restroom was equally clean and well-kept. I recommend!

This Cree Mee picture is of the old Cree Mee. They closed down and reopened on the corner where an…read moreold bank used to be. They used to serve actual food but now they serve no more food than a gas station (hot dogs and nachos). The ice cream and shakes is pretty good. The quality of the ice cream is average at best but they are much too expensive for what they are. It is no longer a restaurant, it is a small room and should be considered more so an ice cream shop. It is a nice place to grab something cold to drink and eat in the summer. They are closed during winter, as is to be expected. Overall this is a nice place to get a small bite to eat.

What looks to be a plain old Quonset hut is disguising a really cool little diner. We were greeted…read moreand sat immediately, which was surprising for a Saturday morning. There were only a couple of empty tables in there, but that changed quickly and within 5 minutes there was a wait of 20-30 mins. Our server "TT" took our orders right away and the entire time we were there no one's beverage got even close to empty. Considering how many tables she had, the amount of attention she dedicated to us was impressive. The food was great! Biscuits and gravy, hash browns and bacon were yummy as were the waffles. For 4 adults the tab came to $52 with drinks, before tip. Not a bad value especially since 3 of us took half of our food to go because the portions are so large. We will be back next time we're in town!

At a time when the concept of "value" is flying away at warp speed, this lovely relic is going the…read moreother direction in the absolute BEST way! We stopped in on a day's drive from Kansas City to Chicago, due to the quantity and quality of reviews all over the internets, very much including Yelp! We were hungry and in need of some energy for lunch, and Charlie Parker's delivered on both! The place looks like a small military airplane hangar, but don't be fooled: inside is some of the best greasy spoon food you could wish for in the Midwest! The dining room is bright, tight, and fun, decorated to the inch by fun, colorful and humorous memorabilia! We ordered, and were served just a few quick minutes later. Each platter (correct word!) was stuffed with awesome, tasty food! Amongst the four of us, we had some sweet and some savory options, and we all tried each others! We all agreed - the food was delicious! When the bill came and printed at the bottom was a number less than $100, less than $50, I almost lost my mind! We were STUFFED to the gills with awesome diner fare, and our bill was barely $40! How did this happen? I pray this place is somehow eeking out a profit, as I seriously can't remember getting so much awesome food for so little cost in a sit-down restaurant. If it IS making money, then MAJOR kudos to the owner - this business model should be copied throughout the land. Food = 4/5 Facility = 4/5 Service = 4/5 Ambiance = 4/5 Value = 6/5
