Great place and great people. First time in this part of the country and really enjoyed it. It's a must stop in. Not just to eat but it's also the last fuel stop for awhile

Very friendly and talkative staff. Plenty of parking. Very clean restaurant. Burger and fries were hot and delicious. They didn't have my mozzarella sticks, but that's ok. I'm so glad that they were able to get back up and running after both those flooding that happened. She told me about it. May your restaurant and store be back and recovering and prosperous. Come stop in and you will be greeted by kind and friendly staff. Bring the family! On the wall is the unbelievable pictures of when both floods happened.

A terrific spot to stop on a road trip to have a meal, gift or souvenir shop, and use the restroom. There are plenty of fuel pumps and parking. The staff are friendly and quick service oriented. There are lots of on the road snacks, kids toys, blankets, trinkets for the car or truck, and a good selection of drinks, and coffee. The salad bar is fresh and there is a nice counter style eating area, or tables in a dining room. Hot and fresh food orders to eat in or to go. We always enjoy taking a rest break here, and fueling up.

My wife and I were traveling to Florida and we stopped for breakfast. First, let me note that yes, this place isn't in Florida. We were driving. Anyway. The food was reasonably priced and the portions were HUGE. I ordered chicken fried steak and eggs. There was enough chicken fried steak left that o had it for lunch later that day. Our waitress was also great even though the place was busy and she had little help, she was on it

Absolutely hands down one of the most incredible breakfasts I have had. Chicken fried steak was over the top crunchy and awesome. Pancakes were incredible. Wish it was closer to home! Thank you for an awesome experience
