DH got the chicken and dumplings which was one of the specials. He had the option of a large bowl of dumplings or a smaller bowl with 2 sides and he chose the large bowl.

It had plenty of bacon, which was a plus, but could have used a bit more mayo -- of course, that's a personal preference. I had chocolate pie for dessert and it was delish! The slice was large enough to share. Staff was friendly and prompt. For lunch, the meal was a bit pricey, but what isn't nowadays?

Our server Hailey was very bubbly and welcoming from the start. She made sure we took our time to figure out what we all wanted. Took my dad out for early father's day lunch. We all got sweet tea. Husband went with the all you can eat chicken option. Which they do that on Wednesdays and Sundays. You can mix/match dark or white meat. You get all the sides. Dumplings, mashed potatoes, greenbeans, corn, coleslaw, and apple sauce. He was full and definitely enjoyed the chicken. My dad did the chicken meal 2 dinner with 2 sides. I have food left over for later. I was so full. Food came out in timely manner. And for what we paid in total with 3 people wasnt too shabby. Theor parking lot is off to the side and wraps around l. They do have aome street side parking. Or some park across the way in a lot. Good ol days Is a staple in new baden. When you're burnt out on going to chains like cracker barrel.

Our server was friendly and like clockwork when it came to keeping our coffee cups refilled with steaming hot and very good coffee (because it was freezing cold out there baby!). I really enjoyed my steak and eggs. The steak was tender and the eggs were cooked according to my instructions. The inside was decorated with pictures of Illinois' two favorite sports teams - which would be the Cardinals and the Cubs, along with historical references to old Route 66 that had so much influence on these small towns in Southern Illinois. We had a very good meal, great service, and all at a very reasonable cost. I recommend you check this place out.

Instead, it was a very enjoyable breakfast. I ordered, The Livy which was, one egg, choice of protein, hash browns and toast. I choose bacon as my protein. Their menu proudly promotes that the bacon and sausage is from local farmers. Trust me when I tell you, the bacon was very delectable. It could have been crisper, but the flavor made up for the lack of crispiness. I choose not to take the toast with my breakfast entree, because I also ordered a half size of Biscuits and Gravy. The biscuit was not made it house, its shape was too perfect. However, the gravy with chunks of locally sourced sausage made it a true comfort dish. The gravy was a semi-thick milk gravy and it wasn't overly seasoned with salt and had the right amount of pepper. Trying to watch my sodium intake, I like it when chefs are light handed when shaking the salt into a recipe. The atmosphere is like stepping back into the 50's. You truly will feel as if you left the sock hop and stopped by the local soda shop for a bite. I'll give you a heads up, the outside is junky with a lot of weird stuff. Ignore the decor on the outside and head straight into the diner for a good home cooked meal. The service was impressive. One waitress was taking care of the entire small dining room. I over heard her tell another table, that she was relatively new. Being new, she did a great job. She was attentive and very personable. Her service alone would get me to come back.

Niece got a slice of coconut cream and I got blackberry pie! We couldn't possibly eat them after that big meal. We tore into them once we back in STL though and yum! So good! One note, they only take cash and checks. Didn't know there were still places that did that. The waiter made sure we knew as we sat down, there is an on-site ATM if needed.
