For my wife and I, some of this menu was a throwback to our 1970's days...Ham Steak, Hamburger…read moreSteak, Crispy dinner Hash Browns with onions and Cheese, a solid salad bar, and super reasonable prices. Full bar with my Tito's Cocktail at $4, and my wife's bottle of beer just $3.50. Salad bar had lots of salads...shredded iceberg with lots of dressing options, including a solid Blue Cheese. They also had potato, macaroni, pea, pasta, and other salads. The hamburger steak and wedge potatoes were very good. The hash browns were great, and my sirloin steak was very good--I added a bit of salt, and it was cooked just as I ordered it. The hot bun was a nice touch. Nice bar and lots of table seating. Our server was great-anticipate needs and checked in often. Food came out fast and they appeared to have a very solid takeout business. Give them a try!!

My friend and I both wanted to try the tenderloin and the cheeseburger, so we split them and shared a side of cheesecakes. You can never go wrong with cheesecakes. The tenderloin and the burger were decent. Not my favorite. Would I order them again, I would order the tenderloin again

Stopped in for lunch on our way home while passing through town. You step up to the counter and…read moreplace your order, and then you pick a table and await your food. Self-serve soda, with a variety of options, and a VERY reasonably priced menu with lots of selections. The motif is what you'd expect -- small town diner, with improvements to the historic building and a few modernizations. Very friendly, fun, and pleasant service, and solid food. My wife got the Egg Salad Sandwich on homemade bread, and I got the Philly Chicken. We shared the Sweet Potato Fries. Good sandwiches, and fries, and the food came out in a reasonable time. The day we were there they were doing a very good carryout business, and I suspect that is the case most of the time. Definitely worth a try!

Pelican Pub in Lake View was another great stop during Bike Bash weekend, and it was also the main…read morestarting point for the Saturday gathering of bicycle teams honoring a lost team member who had passed after her battle with cancer. RIP Bree. Team Spin and K'moniwannaleiya started here, and the pub clearly welcomed the group and gave them room to set up, sell shirts, and say a few words in her honor. That says a lot about the place. We did not eat here, but they were obviously prepared to serve a lot of cyclists. Drinks were reasonably priced, service was solid, and everything seemed to be moving well even with a big crowd. The indoor/outdoor setup is a huge plus, especially in the summer. There was plenty of room for people to gather, spread out, and still feel like part of the same event. The front of the place says, "Come as strangers, leave as friends," and for this kind of bike weekend stop, that felt pretty accurate. Good atmosphere, good service, and a great setup for both large groups and smaller visits. We would come again -- and honestly, we probably will.
