Oops This was a nice stop for us on our way to Chicago. I had a cheeseburger and the layer salad. The layer salad was strictly a sentimental choice based on what I remembered my mom making and I'd have to say, I was disappointed. Due to the small bowl they served it in it was mostly mayo with very little lettuce. The cheeseburger was excellent though - nothing fancy, but great flavor! Hubby ordered the meatloaf special and thought it was good.

I got a burger and onion rings, and the burger was solid. Not a smashburger like you see at a lot of similar diners, more of a traditional setup. The onion rings.. this is where I have to give feedback. These were not good. They were caked in so much batter that they were inedible. The batter was compact, flavorless, but there was a lot of it! I had to try to break most of it off, and I think the recipe needs an overhaul (just my opinion, some may like it like that of course.) For the price (additional fee for credit card too), the average quality of food, and the memorable-in-a-bad-way onion rings, this isn't a spot I'll find myself back in.

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!

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.

We unknowingly arrived 30 minutes before close, but the staff was super nice and welcomed us in with no rush. It was still pretty full inside and made for a nice, chatty place to go with family or friends. The menu definitely had something for everyone- all of the options looked great, so it was really hard to choose what to order! We started with coffee before ordering the garden frittata and the biscuits and gravy. The coffee was actually very good- they had a seasonal hazelnut flavor that I really enjoyed. I was expecting the frittata to be fluffy like a quiche, but it was more like a circular shaped veggie scramble. It was pretty standard, but definitely hit the spot. The sourdough bread served alongside was outstanding, however. It tasted super fresh and very homemade. The biscuits and gravy were very flavorful and not too greasy. Given the portions and quality, the price is very reasonable. Would definitely return and recommend making a visit!
