I had the ham and turkey chef salad. It was served in a tortilla shell with lettuce, tomato, peppers, pineapple, cheddar cheese, and taco chips with a sweet and sour dressing. It also came with garlic bread that was pleasant but not needed. This type of salad being in a tortilla shell was a little odd, but not bad. It was a little stale as well, but nothing concerning. The overall salad was well put together and everything else seemed fresh with plenty of the toppings. The pineapple was also an interesting choice, but I did not mind it. Will I go back? Yeah, why not.

We were greeted and seated promptly, and the waitress took good care of us. Service overall was pretty quick and attentive. My friend liked her Denver omelette, and we both liked the hashbrowns though they definitely were not your standard hashbrowns. Almost more like a smashed potato. Could have been crispier but they were cooked through and had a good taste. I truly enjoyed my eggs Benedicts which were made with spam instead of Canadians bacon. The spam was fried crispy and just straight up delicious. I might have to eat more spam!

The meal was very reasonable. I will certainly return for more.

They know their regulars orders, all the staff come and chat with you, it's amazing. Very welcoming. I was in Grand Meadow visiting a friends family for the weekend. We were invited to have breakfast at the Diner. I had been craving pancakes, so I ordered a short stack and a side of hash browns. They did not disappoint! The pancakes were fluffy and good! A few people at my table ordered a Belgium waffle which looked really good. They were huge and topped with strawberries and whipped cream. Prices are very reasonable. I feel like everyone there was a local and knew each other (which is normal for small towns, I guess). Overall I loved my experience here. Great staff, patrons and food. I'm sure I'll be back!

If you are reading this, I would guess that you are traveling across Iowa on Hwy 20, or even up…read moreI-35, and you're searching the Internet for fresh food, and this stretch of highway looks pretty bare for hometown restaurants...but, you are in luck! Just detour into Steamboat Rock (five minutes off Hwy 20), and find yourself in another world, possibly another century. Mama's Family Diner is in the downstairs lunchroom of the local schoolhouse (formerly called the Schoolhouse Diner). You'll find yourself feeling like a very lucky grade school student, where the lunch ladies serve fresh made tortillas for your Mexican fare, and Iowa favorites for the nostalgic. The day we visited, the lunch specials were either burrito, enchilada, meatloaf and mashed potatoes with dessert, or goulash with dessert. There is also a Mexican menu of soft tacos (ground beef, chicken or steak) and quesadillas, etc. There are none of the tired old bar food menu items, the American fare is limited to the specials, and the Mexican food is geared toward Iowa palates, but this may change as the restaurant gains popularity. Your food (plenty of it) is served on real restaurant china, by Mama herself. And the burrito was muy grande, as you can see from our picture. Do yourself a favor, drop off the beaten path, and, when you step out of your car onto the quiet, peaceful street, bordered by old growth trees, and walk down the sidewalk into this renovated schoolhouse, you'll remember the good times when school lunch was the best part do the school day! Three stars because the menu is very limited, but five for home town atmosphere...this is what Iowa small towns are really like, hence the four star average.

The staff was all extremely friendly and helpful and the vibe was relaxed even with most of the tables occupied. There's no outdoor seating as it's basically a corrugated barn on the outside so no dogs allowed. We stopped in on a road trip for some pie and it didn't disappoint! I'm a fan of raisins and chess pie so you know I had to try their raisin pie with a mountain of meringue. It was exactly what you'd expect and I recommend splitting a slice between 2-3 people since it's so decadent. The rhubarb fluff pie was an unexpected treat. We got the last slice and it was the best part of a midwestern church basement "salad". The frosting was incredibly dense, almost butter, so that made it texturally hard to eat. I highly recommend stopping in for food or even just some pie to go.

I had the Rueben. It was good with Thousand Island dressing served on the side. Crinkle cut fries were OK. Others had the Club Croissant (which was served on croissant bread instead of a traditional French croissant) and the burger. Burger looked pretty pedestrian but the diner in question enjoyed it. She said the coleslaw was "nothing to write home about" but that the cowboy beans were really good. Our waitress and the rest of the staff were amazing. I loved that they had jello as a side dish. The neighboring table got it and the day's variety was blue! :) It came with a dollop of whipped cream and it made me want to order it.
