O J's Diner - Marshalltown

Great service. Great food. The spicy home made salsa is delicious!

I remember O J 's. Mom used 2 work there when I was 6 and 7 years old and when I was little my first time there was with my 2nd sitters Pa Pa Riley and Betty. 1 day in 90 I used 2 help Mom in the kitchen. I remember going there with Dad 2 when Mom worked there. I remember Mom was standing behind the table and said Hi Hun, R U being good 4 Dad ? Then in May 92 we had a good-bye party 4 Mom there because she was going 2 spend the Summer with me that year. Sometimes in the mid 90s Dad and I went there and I remember sometimes I would have Beef and Noodles. I remember on August 23, 93 Mom, Dad and I went there 4 Breakfast after we left the court house 4 my adoption. In 2006 and 2007 Mom and went there after Church 4 Lunch. I remember I had a grilled chicken breast without the bun, mashed potatoes plain and a vegie sometimes is corn, mixed vegies, beets, tomatoes. Sometimes I would have Swiss Steak. When Mom worked there she had 2 open up every Monday. Jerry used 2 be the manager there when Mom worked there.

We stopped for breakfast after running errands. We're from out of town and it was the first time we had been there. The service was spot on with very friendly and welcoming staff. Our food was excellent and the portions were perfect. This little diner is cozy and very clean, even the restrooms were clean and fresh. We'll be back. ?

Been eating there since 2008. I've heard it had been there longer. But I always enjoy the country cooking being from Texas. Want to thank the staff and their excellence!

Food was not good at all. Service was ok but will not be back. We were a party of four and food was not great. We did not complain but food was not good at all.
