We ordered the special (smothered pork chops), because usually service is quicker if you order the special. They were out of the majority of their meager side selection , and twenty minutes after placing our order the server came and informed us that they are out of the smothered pork chops. Fast forward twenty minutes later... still no food and none of the customers who came in before us have food yet either. I just watched a customer go in the kitchen to get a coffee pot to give herself a refill. Service here sucks. At this point I don't care if the food is amazing when it arrives, because the long wait and crappy service is not worth it. ETA : customer who was here before us got tired of waiting and got up and left before their food arrived. ETA 2 : another table just got up and walked out because they got tired of waiting. ETA 3: Definitely not worth the wait or the price. Waited an hour and ten minutes for a dry as the desert burger, a micro side of mashed potatoes with thin watery gravy, and a side of canned corn ($11.50); and overcooked chicken livers that tasted like they've never changed their fryer grease, a tiny baked potato with fake butter and burnt bacon, and a side of woody broccoli stems ($11). Didn't get a single drink refill.

We found Elm Street Eatery on Yelp! while traveling through Lebanon on I-44. It is less than a mile…read moreto the west of the interstate and worth the stop. I ordered 2 eggs over easy, extra crispy bacon, hash browns and coffee. The eggs were perfectly cooked as ordered with no runny whites and very runny yolks. The hash browns were shredded potatoes that were light, nicely browned without being stuck in a clump and the bacon was fall apart crisp, just like I ordered. I ordered French toast on white bread because I prefer it when the batter soaks through the bread and some places that use Texas toast do not let the batter soak through it. Their French toast was perfect. Plenty of batter was used to assure the entire piece of bread was saturated and it was thoroughly grilled to a brown exterior and warm creamy interior. The coffee was fresh and not bitter. Finally, the service was excellent and friendly. We will stop there again on our way through.

It's a miracle we didn't get food poisoning. There was a pot of something near the desserts that was brown and separated. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be chocolate sauce or a soup. The website said the food was made from scratch. That was not the case. Most if not all of it was heat and eat or canned. There were box cake mixes I could see from the open kitchen door. If I wanted something like that, I could just swing by Walmart. The cold salad section had different foods mixed in like customers had used the same spoon for different dishes. This was by far the worst buffet we have ever encountered. We won't be back.

Gracey and Bruce were our servers. Both were great. Gracey immediately removed trash ( which is a rarity now days). The service reminded me of a cruise vacation from several decades ago. My wife and I shared the trio ( salmon, shrimp and chicken tenders) plus baked potato, steamed broccoli and a salad. Our bill was a bit over $20 plus tip. The only thing I wish we would have changed is we would double up the shrimp instead of the chicken. 3 at our table raved at the sirloin. My father in law said his baby back rips were wonderful. Everyone raved at the food and the service. My only warning is get there early--- don't expect to walk to table at noon. We got there when it opened at 11am and they accommodated our group of 8 immediately. My brother in law drove back for a return trip a couple days later ( I had to go home). My opinion is since Covid most places don't do good service anymore. FD's does.

There were several good vegetarian options available to us.

It came with two eggs too. - Power Greens Breakfast Bowl: very good option! The flavor was great, the toppings were fresh, and the eggs were a nice protein addition. - Garden salad: a HUGE salad with plenty of chunky veggies. The portions are quite large. We ended up with leftovers, which worked out well for us. If we have to be back in Bolivar again, we'll definitely be repeat customers.
