Found this place some (3) years ago. Yesterday, 7/20/25, was our third visit as we passed through. It is a casual (hole in the wallesk) BIG TREAT. Their menu is all over the place but there is something for everyone. ((Also, they don't roll up their sidewalks at 8 or 9 P.M. That added bonus seemed to disappear in this country a few years back.)) Their prices are reasonable and my Walleye sandwich was made to my specifications and was to die for. My friend had biscuits and gravy that was really tasty that you can get whenever they are open. We probably arrived around 9 P.M. and left around 10:15 P.M. He said his Sweet Tea was just like he would remember in early days. The bar has some interesting choices but probably could use a little updating in product. My single cocktail was mixed with some homemade pink lemonade. I visited the restroom before I left and it was quite clean for the end of a long day. That was much appreciated as that isn't always the case in the general area. Lastly, I saw some hardworking people in there and I'm hoping the newest owners of this 50+ year old establishment will survive this brutal economy as I would like to come again and ring the bell of approval as I exit the door. I certainly would love to try more of their menu items.

This place has been a favorite of mine for decades. They have the best fried chicken in town. Carry-out available. Monday night wing night is a staple for us. Specials throughout the week. Great choices. Soup and salad bar is wonderful and the pie selection is scrumptious. Check out the Pioneer for a beer or your next delicious meal.

Cool, old spot, my first time there. I love the country feeling. I was told it was the first day under new ownership. The service was fast and friendly. The food was hot and delicious. I had the fried chicken lunch special. The restroom was clean, but the hot water seemed to not be working. I would happily eat there again.

What can I say, great little place tucked in behind the courthouse. Servers, cook & bar tender were fantastic. Great little salad bar & great choice if food. Cole slaw was fantastic. Being a restaurant owner myself, it was a great find out on a day drive.

Fantastic fried chicken. The bread their chicken in a well seasoned flour and fry to order. The chicken livers were awesome too. We stopped by the other day. This is a nice no frills restaurant with a full service bar. The seating is a little tight. They have a salad bar. The soups are pleasant. The bacon mushroom swiss burger was good as well. We will return.
