“ Stopped here on road trip through small towns. Husband had country fried steak breakfast, which they serve all day, I had a Reuben sandwich with fries. Food was all very good, service & waitresses were great. Ordered a piece of custard pie to go but didn’t open it til later & was very disappointed in the size. It tasted good but was a small sliver like 1/8 of a pie for $4.29. That makes a whole pie over $32, seems a bit pricey to me! Overall food was good though. ”
