I look forward to a return visit and eating outside with my dog (they are allowed outside) and trying one of their sandwiches.

I drove through Merrill, WI after getting a speeding ticket on 51 (which is the only reason to…read morevisit Merrill, WI but at least the courthouse is easy to find) and passed this diner. It looked like it had been abandoned since the 1970s, and as someone who loves reliving my childhood memories, I peeked in the windows. Imagine my surprise to find out it was still open for business, just closed at that time. I made it a point to come back when they were open. Not only does the aesthetic and decor date back to the 1970s, so do the menu and prices. They had a special, eggs and toast for under $3. Where can you find that any more? The menu was surprisingly thorough, they had some fancier options like eggs benedict, which I tried. And they did have WiFi, although I couldnt get it to work. I decided to try multiple things, so I got steak & eggs, eggs benedict, and corned beef hash. With coffee my total was still under $15. The steak was by far the best thing I tried. I asked for it pink, and it came closer to well done, but it was so tender and well flavored that I didnt mind. The eggs benedict was also very good, the sauce homemade and the ham thick cut. The corned beef has was my least favorite, it was comparably dry. One of the owners was the only employee working outside the kitchen and she was very friendly. I dont know why I would ever go back to Merrill, WI, but if I do, and it is before 2pm, I will stop back.
