Wonderful small town stepping back in time cafe. I really like finding cafe like that. Great history read on history of cafe. It was a farm family needing to diversify. be back in the 20s and 30s.

I've lived in Texas, Iowa, and Arizona, and have been to 47 of the states in the U.S., and across the entire country, this place literally has the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had.

This place feels like the bar from Cheers. Everybody knows your name, & if they dont they will give you one. Serving sizes are crazy big. The sausage is great. & you can get a chocolate milkshake for brealfast if you want to. Come early for the morning coffee clutch shenanigans. You wont regret it.

This place gets better and better every time we come! I'm not sure they could top this last time tho- their Sunday morning breakfast is unbeatable! Had the Ultimate Omelet And I am pretty certain it's hands down- the best omlete I've ever had!! Oh- and the lunchtime server Beth is the sweetest!

Grilled ham and cheese sandwich was delicious! Ham was actually from a ham steak! French fries are very good. Don't forget the homemade pies! We had sour cream raisen and peach.
