I stopped by on my drive home from L.A. for dinner and rest break at 8pm and ordered from the "smaller dinner" menu. I thought my server made a mistake because it was a full plate with generous amounts of meat and vegetables! I ordered the beef stew, wich was flavorful. It was very busy, but my server, Trish, was very courteous and helped me decide between ordering breakfast or dinner because i couldn't decide. This is a great place for traditional American food and I will be stopping by on my next trip or from L.A. and try breakfast next time!

10/13/2025: I ordered the Blackened Salmon with Broccoli and a Baked Potato. The cook clearly cares about presentation as my food was beautifully arranged on my plate. For me, however, that's secondary to taste... Luckily for me, it tasted even better than it looked! The seasonings provided a deep, rich flavor and the sear was perfect! Like wise, the potato's skin was crispy with a fluffy interior. It was exactly what I want when I order a baked potato. Even the broccoli impressed! I don't normally do desserts because of my diabetes, but with how good the dinner was I wanted to indulge and see if their desserts were as good as the main dish. I asked about their seasonal cheesecake and was informed that it was pumpkin. I had to try it and it was amazing! The crust was wonderfully crisp a
