    a burger and french fries
    Jesse R.

    Great burgers!!! Friendly service and fast. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling through cause that's what I was doing. The place is kind of small and limited seating but worth the stop

    Normal hours

    They are open until 7:30pm most nights!!! Beware the times listed...call! So glad we did, as we were able to have the place to ourselves in the mid-afternoon. Despite it being a slow time (kinda right between lunch and dinner), the salad bar had just been restocked--so everything was fresh. Eggwhites in the chopped egg were slightly rubbery--and if THAT is my only nitpick... They bring a fresh, baked-there mini-loaf on its own bread board, along with honey to go with the butter! Chicken-fried steak was moist, with good flavor, prepared in a nice homemade batter. Corn was meh, but gravy was good, with above average mashed potatoes. They have giblets!! If you're into that. (!!) The homemade pie looks great...Also, a small but completely satisfying softy cone was included in our meal! Cheesecake or strawberry flavors, on our day. Service was terrific-- Lana (sp?) was warm and friendly, didn't seem to mind us taking time to go through the big menu, happily answered questions and made our respite that much nicer.

    Stay away. It was as if the place froze in 1960. It smelled like an old library book. Horrible service horrible food. Waited for over an hour. You have been warned.

    Ho made?  Sounds good!

    We did not actually eat here because they are closed for three weeks. But that's OK. I gave them a five star review for the painting they had on their window. It said Ho-made pie. That's just awesome!

    The menu is huge. Ordered fish and chips. It was ok, would choose something different if I went there again. The gals helping were very friendly. Some of the meals came with small loaves of bread, those were yummy. They had large tables for bigger groups and also table for 2. They don't have a soda fountain, pop is in cans. A lot of locals were eating there.

    Mini ice cream 50 cents. Homemade.

    Great food and great service! Located in a country setting, the prices are great and it's always…read morepacked ,I would definitely recommend.

    This is a really cute little place that we happened upon on our way to Arctic Circle and decided to…read morestop here instead frankly. We were just getting off the highway to grab a bite to eat we didn't want Arby's so we ran across this. I happened to love Ma and Pa type diners and that's exactly what this is. It actually helped that there were so many semis park in front that's normally a good sign. The menu is actually pretty vast you can have breakfast all day are you going to have lunch and dinner. They have sandwiches Burgers salads fish and other home style cooked dinners. I read on the menu several times that he's slow cook their turkey and make their chicken fresh I like the idea. It was clean and well cared for. The restrooms were clean and well stocked. Even just the black coffee at the table was pretty good. I got the turkey bacon ranch wrap sub chicken. It was actually delicious and just what I wanted. The partner got a taco salad and it was presented in the classic way with a hard shell in a bed of refried beans. Everything i read talked about the scones. Let me clarify it's called a some here but it's really fry bread... which is delicious but not a wine. We got one to go. They come with honey butter and powdered sugar. Little tiny cute diner water glasses but do you need more? I would come here again this is the type of place I want to try a few different things from not just a one and done place.

    We were in the area for the county fair and looking for a good restaurant. The Grille was nearby…read moreand looked popular so we went inside. Come to find out, we were only the second table in the place. We were told to seat ourselves so we chose a booth near the windows to the patio. Unfortunately, there was another table nearby with some staff members that were talking loudly that was a bit off-putting. The staff who helped us were friendly and attentive. They even gave me an in-restaurant refill on my soda as well as one to take with me when we left. The menu had many items that looked good, and I had a hard time choosing what to get. It was between the shrimp tacos and the mushroom Swiss burger. I chose the 7 oz burger with tots. While we waited for our food, they brought out a sauce caddy with several different ones to try. My husband ordered the appetizer trio with the BBQ chicken wings, the BBQ ribs and the mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce. He said the chicken wings were the best of the three. The consensus on our food was there wasn't much flavor. My husband said it best, "The cook needs to pick up a salt shaker." If it wasn't for the sauces, we would not have been able to enjoy our meal. On a positive note, my tots were tasty and crispy. They didn't taste like old grease like tots can tend to do. Unfortunately, my burger tasted like an premade dense puck-like patty with an "old" flavor to it. I tried adding a few of the sauces since the mushrooms and Swiss cheese could not overcome the "old" flavor. We probably will look for some place else to eat next time we are in town.

    It's a diner. Connected to a bowling alley. In rural Utah. It's pretty much what you'd expect…read more Food's ok. Maybe even good. Service is fine. They're open till 9 and just off the interstate. I had an open faced pulled pork sandwich with mashed potatoes and pork gravy. My partner had pulled pork nachos. Both were good, plentiful, and reasonably priced. Cheaper than fast food these days but with table service rather than eating in the car. If you're in the area you could certainly do worse. Worth a stop, probably.
