Random stop on our trip across the country. Honestly one of the best places we've stopped. We've been to 45 states in the last few years and we haven't found many places like this. Great food, nice people running the place. Usually we find that small town diners don't really like being bothered by travelers (our experience anyway) the awesome lady running the place joked with us and talked like we knew eachother forever. Highly recommend. A+
