Staying at the Iron Horse a few doors down, we pulled into town around 630pm. A quick search &…read moreglance around told us the choices were to eat here (within an hour) or not eat. We chose to eat. I can't lie, I went into what's showing as coffee tea & sandwiches pretty bitterly & with low expectations. It hits the greasy spoon look in appearances - and elbow table sticking... a real throwback diner vibe. You'll be eating off grandma's plates & drinking from big plastic soda cups. The sign out front said the specials were fish, shrimp or frog legs. The menu was along the lines of a burger joint & i wasn't feeling a burger. Fried food in 90 degree weather sounded heavy. Still, we both decided to get the fish with the option to sub any side because they were out of the included mac & cheese. Having asked what kind of fish it was, the server said she wasn't sure but it's delicious. This turned out to be incredibly accurate. The fish was EXCELLENT. It was moist, light & flaky with a clean fry, & no dripping oil. I was very pleasantly surprised by the presentation of what hit like a meal at home. We opted for the tasty house-made cobbler to finish. It was $3 - 2 meals, 2 desserts came in at $30. Here's to an accident gone right!. At 12min til close, a group was hovering at the door & checking their watches. I kid you not, the lady in charge went bee-lining for the door. Again, I had expectations of the lock getting turned but, nope, she opened the door & invited them in! They warned they were a party of 12 & it was now -10min til close but she shrugged that off & called them in. That, dear readers, is great customer service.

The Truck Stop Survives!…read more It has been a tough couple of years for truck stops across the nation. The double whammy of COVID 19 lockdowns and the past years price spikes (inflation) for fuel have taken their toll. We stopped in for a late lunch / early dinner at the Concordia, MO Truckstops of America, and noticed that they had added a Subway to their Country Pride diner for quick road food. Truck stops survive by producing edible carbs quickly and truck parking. But most survivors also amp up their friendly service with better than average home style meals - Country Pride has done this. While not crowded during the late afternoon, the service was its historic quick and friendly bench mark, the menu has been pared down a bit to match a decrease in demand. We went for a stir fry and a traditional American Breakfast of omelette and hash browns. The omelette was exactly what should be expected with no skimping of ingredients. The stir fry was very good, especially for truck stop fare. Adding a slice of "Reeces Peanut Butter" cake for desert topped off an enjoyable meal. During these inflationary times, I have been seeking out businesses that have earned their right to survive by providing consistent services and products at reasonable prices. This Country Pride had done exactly that. Yes, I will continue to make that Concordia stop as I cross I-70 they have earned it.

The interior is cute with a country vibe and string lights in the center seating area. I had the pork tenderloin breakfast with over medium eggs, home fries, and a biscuit and a side of sausage. My husband had the same with hash-browns and sourdough and a side of bacon. Alex had pancakes, scrabbled eggs and bacon. The eggs were cooked well and the potatoes had a nice crisp and season to them. The biscuit was big and fluffy. I didn't get to finish that half of my meal after finding a hair on my plate. I switched to the sausage and the gravy covered tenderloin. This was the biggest I have seen. The flavor was alright, not really seasoned so it fell flat for us. The gravy was bland like it was from a can. Alex's pancakes were a bit tough as though they were over mixed. I'm not sure we would make the drive to try anything else is was just okay.

Ridiculous. 20 oz drink (mostly ice). 3.19 And yes, I got petty and counted how many tater tots came in a large (5.99). There were 16. When I went in the restaurant today my partner and my ESA Pomeranian was with me. The employees were all saying how cute he is and he'll probably need a pup cup. Then we ordered and paid. I went to wash my hands and an employee went to my partner and told him he had to eat outside because my dog couldn't be in the restaurant. (The restaurant had NO customers except us). The employee told me that the manager said no. I have brought my ESA dog into this restaurant and ate several times (and there were a lot of customers in the restaurant). So, we went outside and ate some of our meal and threw the rest away. The food quality has, in my opinion, gone way down. What really upset me the most was when I came in with my dog, and then my partner came in and the friendly customer service stopped. No smiles, just blank stares. It was clear that they don't approve of gays. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think I am. Sad thing is that I have been going to this place since 1990. I will never go into this establishment again and I will warn people that the food quality and quantity does not match the cost.
