    Long wait for breakfast on weekends. If you can make it past that, great food & service. Clean bathrooms, friendly staff, generous portions. We stop here every year on our way to the Corn Festival.

    I got the tenderloins special 2 for one to go. Staff helpful and courteous. Tenderloins traveled for 20 minutes very well but as expected the French fries and onion rings does not no fault of diner.

    Buy one, get one burgers on Mondays. Onion rings are great, too. Staff was friendly and attentive to our toddler.
