We dropped in for a quick bite to eat - we couldn't find our silverware or plates since we just moved, and the snow was making the roads hazardous.We ordered and our food quickly arrived. The soft drinks tasted fine, and food was classic Arbys. It tasted fine as well.This is around 3 minutes west of I-39, but worth it.

This is a community outreach facility. The concept is simple: Pay what you can, and if you can't pay, well, that's okay too. It requires a regular influx of both types of customers (paying, can't afford to pay) to make the concept work.We stopped in on a Friday for their fish bake. The mean was two slices of cod, baked, along with a hot baked potato (properly done), cole slaw and corn, along with a biscuit and dessert.We were greeted at the door, and there were plenty of places to sit. You can sit down with other folks if you like - there are several large tables with multiple families.We sat down, and ordered the meal, then had to wait a few minutes before it came out (not a long wait, around 8 minutes max).The decor of the place is full of antiques - if they need money, they can probably sell a few of those off the wall to keep this moving forward. The food was hot, and the fish came with a slice of lemon. Hot sauce is available on request.This kind of reminded us of dinner at our own kitchen table. It's very much home-made food. Give it a try.

This was particularly good and dependable, since other restaurants were closed or for winter months.

This is the best place in town to get a healthy “meal” for breakfast or lunch. What I mean by “meal” is a healthy Herbalife shake, a hot or cold cup of Herbalife tea, and a shot of Herbalife aloe Vera juice. If you are thinking, that it won’t fill you up, think again! It’s packed full of protein and ultra nutritious, not to mention delicious!! I want to say that my favorite shake is the Red Velvet! It’s like the cake without all the fat and calories!! They also provide free (yes, FREE) exercise classes! The Cardio-drumming class is a blast!! Becky and Josh are some of the most positive people I have ever met!! If you haven’t checked it out yet, you should!!

We stopped for dinner and found that they had bison burgers on the menu for a limited time. Being one of our favorites, and seldom offered in most restaurants, we both ordered one and weren't disappointed. It came with one side (we had the pinto beans) and it was totally awesome! The meal was plenty, the service great, and the price reasonable. This regular truck stop restaurant is a popular stop-over for many drivers and they offer menu or buffet dinners. I highly recommend it and give them an A+ in all areas - quality, quantity and service.

We dropped in for dinner on the Friday before Easter. This place was deserted.The waitress came to greet us after waiting for a few minutes. The hostess must have been busy talking with friends - we watched her do that for around 10 minutes later.So, service isn't great.The food on the other hand, is okay. Their salad bar is reasonable, and had lettuce, at least 5 salad dressings, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, onions, grated cheese - all fresh. They had two home made soups, we tried one, which was good.Dinner arrived - I had their salmon, which seemed to be fresh, but was slightly underdone. It was hot, but a bit too firm. It probably needed a few minutes more on the grille.My wife had their fried shrimp, which was good and filling. She also tried their fried potato salad, which had quite a nice zing to it, flavor wise.Friday (Good Friday) was $1 draft night, including the entire beer menu. I had a Stella, which was cold and good for $1 for sure.So, it's s'okay. Try it out, and decide for yourself. It looks like the service needs an upgrade, but the food is okay.The price was right, with drinks and everything, we were out the door for less than $45 with a generous tip.We took a walk through the bar. It had a pool table, several dart boards, and a Big Buck Hunter.

We dropped in for dinner - our first time here.The sign said "Please wait to be seated." The hostess said "Sit where you want." Hmmm. So, why have the sign?We were promptly greeted by a server, looking for our drink orders. We figured that out and made our orders. I had their "Italian Ravioli in meat sauce" while my wife had one of their dinner salads.The ravioli was tasty and the sauce was good and thick, and just a little sweet. It was hot, and tasted fine. The portion was on the small side when I compare it to other restaurants in the area.The salad was huge - eggs, ham, turkey, - my wife even took some home.The check came quickly, which was appreciated.So, wrapup:AveragePortions for the "Italian" were a little small.Big dinner salad.The food tasted fine. I just wish there was a little more of it.The price was right - two people fed for less than $20.

Watching the parachuters is fun, but the bar is LOUD and the quality of food is inconsistent at best. We've stopped bring out-of-town guests here because we're embarrassed at the quality of the service or food...or both. Go for drinks (expensive). The menu is eclectic but can also be a gamble.

Used to eat here all the time and the food was good with amazing service. Since they remodeled, it seems like their service just isn't as good. Last time I was there, our orders got mixed up and the server acted like it was a huge inconvenience to get the orders corrected. I was able to get my order fixes but they wouldn't fix my fiancé's order.
