    The staff was super friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious, (we actually came in a second time this week so I could get the photo since we devoured the meal the first time we were here) definitely get a side of Mac and Cheese, its fantastic!

    This place is charming, clean, with wonderful staff. The building has a Rt. 66 vibe. Their tasty Caesar salad is unique with a beautiful presentation and fresh ingredients. My spouse got the Honolulu Honey a sandwich with ham, provolone and a brown sugar glaze. He enjoyed the Mac and Cheese. YOU MUST VISIT THIS PLACE when you visit Pontiac, IL.

    I stopped here for breakfast while I was in town because I like to go where the locals go for breakfast. The place looks fresh and clean and mostly full at 8:30 on a Monday morning which is a nice sign and it completely filled up while I was there. The menu is no Greek phone book kind and actually small with the basics so I did my usual meat and eggs breakfast. I ordered the two eggs with sausage and hash browns with toast. My breakfast plate looked pretty good and just a great way to wind down my mini road trip. The eggs tasted fresh and perfect sunny side up. The sausage was large and looked home made that was tasty and not bland at all, everything a breakfast sausage should taste like. The hash browns were absolutely perfect with that crispy golden crust and the pillow soft potato on the inside. The sourdough toast was was the good kind with that dense bread and the nice chew, sourdough toast makes the perfect breakfast in my opinion. WOW they do a great American breakfast and I can see why they were completely full, too bad I may never get back there again because I was on a road trip. Thank you for having me and nice job.

    This place is a hidden gem (literally a hidden gem; hard to find!) We loved the atmosphere and decorations. Overall, Great food and service. Best of all, the price couldn't be beat. We had breakfast for 4 people (coffees included) for under $40. We'll be back. I highly recommend this place if you want good food and/or like saving money

    Delicious breakfast spot! If you like bacon this is the place to get some and indulge in all American breakfast fare. Great prices!

    I was looking and looking for almost a week and I found NOTHING else like this restaurant in Pontiac! This is a great slice of America and I don't think I've had such a cool eating experience. I sat at the counter and had my cup of joe and was hosted by the coolest people. They all smiled and looked happy with their jobs and seemed like they knew a lot of their customers. The other patrons were also super friendly and cool to make small talk with as well. The food was super awesome! I came to Pontiac Illinois to be introduced to something I've never experienced before... cheese balls. Fresh cheese balls. Similar to those orange ones you can buy in a big ol 5 gallon bucket, but fresh fried and with dipping sauce! I didn't know this exists!!! I've had mozzarella sticks, sure... but real cheese balls?!? I became a lil teary eyed and put my hand over my heart and sang the star spangled banner to myself. Served with ranch (and the rockets red glare)... melty center (the bombs bursting in aiiir!)... a fist full all to myself (gave proof through the night)... crispy golden on the outside (that our flag was stiiiiil therrrrre)!!!!!! I ordered a full order of biscuits n gravy which came out HUGE with hash browns! An order of mac n cheese which was so creamy! And the appetizer cheese balls. That was Day 1. I returned a few days later for a burger. It was a stare down like in the old west. Me vs the sweet kind waitress. A battle of wills. I told her... I want this pretzel burger... she said okay with a smile. I told her... I want an egg on it... over easy... she said okay with a smile... I said I want my side of fries smothered ridiculously in delicious extras like cheese and bacon and other madness... she said okay with a smile... that's it. It was pretty anti climactic between us. She was super chill and easy going. She was of the same understanding that we're in America where I can have eggs in my pretzel burger! And I can have bacon and stuff in my fries! And fried cheese ball things before my actual meal! It was delicious and my neighbors were intrigued and wanted to see whether I was gonna take a bite out of that monstrous burger or if it might bite back. Well... it's me writing this review, so you know who claimed victory this cool Illinois spring day. Eat here. It's great company, good food, and good times. Leave a smile and a tip.

    This restaurant is in downtown Pontiac, which is a short drive off I55. The place is designed like an old time diner and the food matches the 1860's. They offer many different food options, I had a burger and my guest had a patty melt both were ok.

    Nice place

    Everything Great! We had an amazing and fun experience! The food was simply delicious!! Service was…read moreabove and beyond. We felt welcomed and very attended to! We also order some food to go and a buffet to go. We had 2 buffets in house. The strawberries were bomb! The mash taters and gray was yummy! The chicken noddles was so tasty (homemade too) loved the beef! Biscuits were on key. Will definitely be coming here again next time we blow on threw.

    Ok. I have been to a few buffets and you have a lot of kinda warm food and not too cold stuff. Well…read morethe Country Farmhouse gets it right!! The hot items were hot. Not warm. But hot !! A couple kinds of French toast. Scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, country fried steak, bacon,ham, corned beef hash, lots of potato casseroles, waffles, two kids of French toast...it just goes on and on. And then you have a full salad area with fresh fruit !! Oh and did I mention an entire buffet of pastries? Donuts, cinnamon rolls, danishes, muffins. It just kept going !!! Everything was fresh and replenished and delicious. The only thing I'd pass on was the Bloody Mary bar. Not a lot of stuffs. Cold chicken nuggets, bacon, green olives, some sad pickle spears, lemon wedges, celery, kielbasa, that was pretty much it. Would Have like to have seen cheese cubes or maybe some shrimp. But it was not bad, just nothing to write home about. All in all for 20.00 a person for food (I don't remember what the bloody bar was) it was a good deal. And they do it daily, not just on the weekends!!!
