Rich history and very hometown feel. Came with a big group. Most of us had the buffet. Soup and salad selections are very good. Basically, this is fried food. They had their iconic fried chicken, fish, and ravioli. Mashed potatoes were outstanding. My husband ordered the 4 piece dark meat chicken basket. Everyone was happy with their food. I'm not a fried food eater, so it's was not my preference.
I’m not sure how you can rate this place anything less than a 5. Food is outstanding and large portions. Salad bar was great. Service was exceptional. Our waitress was the best I’d had in a while. The decor was right up my alley and on point to it’s history. It’s a definite suggestion for me.
Just love this place I come once or twice a week,service is always great !!! Food is really good, especially if you have 30 minutes to wait for something made from scratch , choose from the menú!! Steaks are really good,well served and with a very decent price (around 20$) Now ,if you are in a rush ,the buffet is a great option , chicken and dumpling soup is a must , friday it seems they have the best choice , shrimps and fish besides the always served chicken!! Few desert and fruits also. Did I mention that service is great ?
Just very good chicken. I remember as a little boy in the 1950's my parents used to take us for chicken in the basket. Back in those days it was a real treat. My dad had a 1949 Kaiser automobile.
Absolutely awesome! I couldn't recommend this place highly enough, the staff were absolutely lovely and the food was amazing! Definitely put this on your list on your way through Route 66!!!
Was in town visiting friends. A friend of mine suggested this restaurant to meet up at. Lived in the area for 13 years and have heard of this place. Just never tried it. Good food and good service. therustynail2014 Shout out: will be back!
This is just my kind of place. I like that the decor remains almost unchanged in the 40 plus years I've been dining here. It's well kept up, but almost all original looking. The food and staff are always amazing, the portions are large and the food is fresh and fairly priced. I almost always stick with the classic chicken basket dinner but have tried other offerings on occasion and have never been disappointed.
Wow what a great place! The food was outstanding. The chicken was nicely breaded but not overly so. We had the dinner that included the soup and salad bar. It was a great traditional salad bar, and the creamy garlic dressing was outstanding. The portions are large, the service was great and we can't wait to go back again. This has become a regular place for us to eat at. Love this place. This is a must if you love chicken. The route 66 red ale beer is outstanding. This place has been shown on Diners, Drive- Ins and Dives on the food network.
