Located near the sale barn in Brookfield, this place proved to be an excellent choice for lunch. I…read moreknow several people who eat here regularly and love it. During a recent visit, I went in to find the lunch special that day was a BBQ beef sandwich with potato salad and baked beans. The beef was tender and tasty. I really expected it to be LLoyds in a bowl BBQ from the grocery store, but it wasn't , much to my delight. Generous portions were ample for a big eater like me. The potato salad was very good but had a twist on its makeup, it was more like mashed potatoes with a few chunks thrown in with the onions, and pickles. Same taste, just a little different texture......maybe it is easier on the digestive system...I am getting to the age where I have to pay attention to these kinds of things. Baked beans were smokey flavored. My only draw back here: being from an area where smoking in public has been taboo for some time, sitting next to a smoker can throw you. Otherwise the food is a 'come back to"

TLDR: Basically Denny's…read more MENU: Breakfast seems to be the happening thing here, especially brunch on Sundays. They have your typical breakfast fare in the morning, and diner style burgers, fried chicken, and whatnot during the day. FOOD QUALITY: Good, but very basic. I believe most of the items are made up of factory ingredients thrown together. For example I went here for brunch with a friend recently and got the barbacoa bowl - the spuds were the frozen par-fried kind, the cheese sauce was out of a can, etc. I also had the nutella waffle, which was a frozen waffle (kinda soggy, rather than crispy) with literally a squeeze of nutella and a sliced banana. Their stuff is basic to the point that you could make most of the menu at home in less time than it takes to drive up there and wait for your order. MENU FAVORITES: I've only been here twice, once for a burger (which was pretty good - I'd say a contender for the best restaurant burger in Kirksville), and once for brunch, so there's a lot of things I haven't tried. The stuff I did have was satisfying, and the price is fair. MENU FAILS: N/A. FRONT OF HOUSE SERVICE: Staff is friendly and attentive. KITCHEN SERVICE: The food is basic, but done well. Your scrambled eggs will be cooked through but still moist. Your pancakes will be nicely browned and fluffy. COMPETITION: The closest comparison for breakfast stuff would be Rosie's Northtown Cafe, and Diner 54 is definitely better. For burgers and fried chicken, the closest comparison would be Maxwell's, and I'd say they're about the same, quality-wise. ATMOSPHERE: The last time I went was for brunch on a Sunday and the place was PACKED! (Meaning there was a short wait, the restaurant was noisy, etc.) Otherwise, clean, comfortable, and cheery.

I'd personally go for (more) cheese sauce next time. The salsa that came with this burrito dish - it appears they're making that salsa - and it's a great tasting salsa! So good a salsa, that I make one small suggestion: Instead of those Tostitos round chips being served as the side. Might I suggest something like the Tostitos Cantina style chip. The salsa deserves to be paired with a far better chip! And I'll mention again, the music memorabilia adorning the walls, sure is neat, all throughout the place. Somebody took some time collecting that collection of items!
