Description

Nestled by the highway, this mom-and-pop diner is a hidden gem for breakfast and lunch, beloved by locals and travelers alike. With friendly, attentive service and a concise menu of homemade classics—extra-fluffy biscuits, standout hashbrowns, Bigfoot burger, onion rings and dessert cakes—it delivers generous, affordable portions. Lunch includes a small buffet with roast, mashed potatoes and sides. Low-key signage and convenient back parking make it a worthwhile stop on the TransAmerica Trail or before a hike.

Had cheesesteak on a bun. They need to use a different type because the bun became mushy with all the juices from the steak, cheese, and vegetables.

Went with the intention of getting breakfast and had to get lunch instead. Perhaps another day this week. We both got burgers and fries. Both were great! Tasty!

We went in for breakfast before our hike and had a delicious meal. Cindy was our server and she was fabulous! She was so good and recommended the chicken and dressing for lunch, so we came back again! Cindy waited on us again. Neither she or the food disappointed! 5 out of 5 recommend! Both food and service were amazing.
