The food here is good, but not great. Given the area, you could easily rate this higher because there is not much competition. Prices are good and there are quite a few options. Tacos are available in hard or soft, beef (ground) or chicken (grilled). They also have a variety of nachos, burritos, and other items including the sancho. The plain strips/apple strips were very good and are basically fresh made tortilla chips covered with cinnamon and sugar.

We stopped on our way through town and we were pleasantly surprised. The venue is clean and the employees are friendly. I ordered the catfish fillets and I was pleased. The breading was light and crunchy; perfectly cooked. Two in our party had the BBQ pork. It was juicy and flavorful. Another member in our party ordered the 1/4 chicken BBQ. It was a small leg quarter but was flavorful and juicy. We passed on the salad bar as it was prefab. For passing through a small town this is an excellent choice and we would return if we pass this way again.

We visited last weekend, for waffle ice cream- out of butter pecan. So, you guessed, dropped in at 3 p.m. today for atenderloin, and two scoops on a waffle cone. Great service, call ahead they will prepare it for you. The tables outside make for a nice place to sit with friends and family and enjoy !!

Small building that looks like a 60's fast food. Tables and Chairs plain and atmosphere very
local and friendly. Menu is simple and then a big surprise....every dish they serve is superlative.
From great steaks to vegetables that make your mouth water with delight. Simple service and you can watch chef at counter set plates with food on top of warmer. Every item on your plate is amazing and delicious. Worth the search for the place and reasonable prices - cheap for such gourmet taste. At far east of town on Wabash River.

I try to eat here at least once a week, and the food is always good. They have a daily special, as well as two soups, and grill and salad items. The strawberry kale salad with poppy seed dressing is fantastic, as well as the spinach salad with hot bacon dressing. They have a great tomato basil soup. They have something different every day as the special, never boring, and always tasty. I would highly recommend this cafe.

Ate here for lunch on August 3rd. Service was quick and friendly. Our sandwich maker, Levi, was very friendly and could carry on a conversation. He was also giving the other workers directions as they worked on a large carry out order. The dining area was clean and nicely decorated.

We returned to my mother's favorite place to eat. She loved their fish, chips and coleslaw. My wife tries to eat gluten-free had a non-fried combo with fish and shrimp. I had a double order of fried clams and we both had double orders of coleslaw. The server was very helpful in explaining our options.

Great Mexican restaurant. ... it is the place to go for a family, sit down dinner.
Service is speedy They quickly push together tables for larger parties.
You barely sit down before the complementary chips and salsa arrive.
I recommend the enchiladas, tacos, or burritos. They also have American food items such as hot dogs and hamburgers for the limited palate.

The owner of this restaurant, Kevin, is extremely rude. When my friend called to report an unfriendly delivery man, the owner became very disgruntled and offended and began to insult not only my friend but my friend's entire family! Clearly he does not care about the impact of his rude employees on his business. I would encourage everyone to look elsewhere for pizza. Pizza Hut tastes way better anyway.
