Why do they bother saying you can order them cooked your way? I ordered medium and mine was very well done. Wasn't going to send it back because who knows what happens in the kitchen when you do that? The bun and fixings were fine, but the burger itself was not worth the out-of-the way drive to get there. Fries were OK. Companion had a grilled chicken sandwich, which was reportedly good. If you like a burger that is the least big juicy, I suggest ordering medium rare and see what happens. Service was friendly.

Otherwise, and this is a positive: nothing fancy, just GOOD. I ordered the #2 Single cheeseburger, my friend had the #5 Double cheeseburger; comes with a side package wrapping of tomato, onion, and lettuce, buns were lightly buttered and toasted. The fries were great and so were the onion rings. Decor was almost museum quality- certainly from a different era: old signs, etc. Friendly and accommodating service. Surprised more people weren't there, but we arrived soon after opening. When we left, people were starting to pour in.

The biscuit was as hard as a rock to eat but the rest of the food was alright, and it was on par with a typical hotel breakfast quality.

Whenever I get the chance to stop in, I do. Its an easy place to miss. It's always busy and full. The staff is very welcoming and kind.

Auntie C's is a good place to grab a slice of Americana. From the goofy s*** on the walls to…read moreclassic American dishes, Auntie C's delivers the small-town diner feel in mega doses. But the thing is, whether you're seeking out nostalgia for the days of old, or wanting to experience that small-town feel for the first time, once the novelty of the atmosphere wears off, you're left with a mediocre hole-in-the-wall that serves edible food. The dishes at Auntie C's are all classic American diner meals, and when I say "all," I mean just that. The menu at Auntie C's is expansive, and while this can seem like a great thing because it offers up a plethora of choices, it also means that nothing is exceptional. I question the true freshness of the ingredients here...the fruits and veggies all taste like they come from a can, and the sauces and gravy all taste like they're frozen and thawed. Everything is perfectly edible and most of it tastes "okay," but I can imagine the people raving about how delicious the food is think salt and pepper are the only spices that exist, because those are pretty much the only spices used here, and almost everything is under-seasoned. Breakfast is by far the best thing to order, and you can get it all day. But be wary of the biscuits, because they frequently are overcooked and dry, and I would avoid anything that's "hand-breaded" unless you want to eat 75% breading. The cream gravy has a good flavor, but they seem to struggle a bit with consistency. While usually being nice and thick, on occasion it has been runny and watered down...that generally happens when a restaurant tries to carry over food from several days ago. That said, the French Toast and Pancakes have never let us down, and things like bacon, eggs and hashbrowns are just hard to mess up. For lunch or dinner, I've never found a meal that I enjoyed much save for the Chicken and Noodles, which are very good. The hamburgers lack proper seasoning and are often overcooked and dry, which leads me to believe they're probably cooked on a broiler...fast and high heat, which would be the correct way to cook a high quality, high fat beef like wagyu, but for lower quality beef that they clearly are using, low and slow would allow the meat to tenderize and retain moisture, and develop a richer flavor. The Mexican options, though few, are honestly pretty gross, so I generally stick to the breakfast menu these days. The deserts, however, are fantastic, and they usually have cookies, fudge and other goodies for sale by the register that are made outside of the restaurant that the kids love. It might seem like I eat there a lot for someone who doesn't seem to like the food, and you'd be partially correct. My mom LOVES Auntie C's, and she loves beef liver, which Auntie C's serves, so we take her there every other week. But what my mom loves about the restaurant is the fact that she's been going there practically since it opened, I think in the early 2000's, and it reminds her of growing up in western KS...she openly admits that the food isn't great, and we probably won't go much when she passes. The atmosphere is kitschy but unique, and the story behind it is cool. Much of the decor has been donated over the years by patrons like my mom, and when you sit in the dining room you can usually hear someone who has spent the last decade or so sitting in the dining room every Sunday bantering with the staff. Aside from the decor, the dining room is a typical diner...too many tables shoved into too small of a space, where you feel like you're sitting on top of the strangers at the table next to you, and someone's rear is constantly in your face as they squeeze through. I can see how the staff can come across as rude at times, but in my experience this is generally when they are busy and they are just hurrying, trying to get their tables taken care of...if you aren't the type who feels the need to treat wait staff like your personal servant and bow to your existence, you shouldn't have an issue. Food generally arrives at the table in a timely manner, and I've never felt ignored or forgotten about. Prices at Auntie C's are very fair for the large portions you get, and though they have had to increase some due to food costs, they aren't gouging you. In fact, 2 people can easily share most of their breakfast dishes if you aren't trying to pack in a days' worth of calories into one meal. All told, the best thing Auntie C's offers is a unique dining experience that I do think is worth checking out, but under it they're serving cafeteria quality food and riding on the coattails of nostalgia. If it weren't for the atmosphere I'd give it fewer stars, because the food by itself doesn't earn 3.

After today, my family will be looking for another place to eat. The food this afternoon just…read morewasn't good (barely warm). and neither were the waitresses attitudes. Every one of us had the GI runs (no it wasn't a virus either) after eating there. We were witnessing how some people are being treated, especially this afternoon...it was very shameful and disgusting to see this happening. We realize that they are closing down for some possible down time and hopefully the food and attitudes will get better. Plus, the area is becoming quite questionable with activity not only in the parking lot, but around the area in general. After this afternoon's experience, it'll be awhile before coming back to our, what was once our favorite place.

My wife and I ordered the country steak breakfast, two eggs, potatoes with onions, and a biscuit. I also wanted to order a half biscuit and gravy. Our server suggested that we order it a certain way so that it was cheaper for us. We very much appreciated that. Everything was excellent! In fact, as we shopped through the afternoon I periodically thought, "That was a really good meal." When we are in the area, we will go back to Kelly's.

Old Mill Tasty Shop sounded interesting. It's in an interesting Old Town area that had free parking and art on the street to enjoy. It wasn't too far off I35, so it became a nice break during a day of driving. The atmosphere inside was just as quaint. This is a classic soda fountain. We showed up well after noon, so getting in wasn't hard. I can see how it might get tough at times though. I had the Reuben and it was textbook. My daughter got the chicken salad sandwich on the fluffiest white break you've seen. We both chose the side salad, which was a delightful mix of greens with sprouts. I had to finish off the meal with a vanilla malt. It was not clear to me if they made the ice cream, but they were generous with the malt. Best malt I've had in years. Only problem was I sucked it down and should have bought a second one.

There simply isn't room for the high chairs. They've got too many tables and chairs in here as it is. The food was extremely slow coming out to us. Lots of people that came in after we did got their food before we did. The tuna melt we ordered was very chinchy on the tuna. I would say less than 2 ounces. The crab salad I ordered was a little more, but filled with celery and onions and nothing to write home about. Bottom line, really average to below average food. Skip this place.
