I was a bit disappointed that the cafe section was closed when I visited early in the morning, but the coffee in the comfortable lobby area was decent for just $2. The main reason I am writing this review is because the bathroom was exceptionally clean. It was impressive to see such high standards, especially considering the location (the city had a population of over 282 in the 2010 census). I would recommend this place as a great pit stop while traveling through the area, especially on a road trip.

What happened? my wife ordered chicken stripes and mom and I had the sink and the bon soup. the taste of the broth was good, but the beans were not done. when we mentioned it to cook, she only argued with us and said what was done that she had drunk the whole night. with a little excuse we could have overlooked that it didn't turn out right, but fighting with the customer is just not good. then, to hide it from the chicken strips of my wife, was just that. no pommes, no chips only 3 karge chicken strips. it'll take a while before we get back there.

The chef brought the extra fries out for free and the server said the first glass of wine is free because it was just the last of that bottle! I dig this place! The food is always good. Not just good, but REALLY good! They even have malt vinegar for the fries! — eating deliciousness at Lane's Diner.

I tried the Bucking Bronco burger with fries, and the bun was incredibly soft, the burger was juicy, and the toppings were abundant. The Chipotle mayo was especially tasty. My wife had the Ward chicken sandwich, which included grilled chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and a cheese crisp. The fries were fresh cut, not frozen. We also indulged in a freshly baked cinnamon roll that was delicious. Overall, a delightful dining experience.
