Amazing staff, great food, great prices. Definitely recommend this place. We were just stopping in while taking a quick dinner break in our 1100 miles trip back home. We truly enjoyed the new hire and the rest of the staff. Will consider visiting again whenever we make our trip again.
Tuffy and Linda are so kind and generous. I was treated to a fried chicken lunch and I really appreciate you. If you would like to find out what amazing fried chicken tastes like...go see the lovely people at Welcome Home Cafe . Thanks again .
Food was plentiful and seasoned well, definitely recommend. Service was a little spotty with equipment failures but didn’t affect my meal. Atmosphere internally was fine, just a little confusing finding the front door vs the back door, as the BIG sign is on the back of the restaurant.
Great Family place to sit down and eat , I was particularly impressed with the cordial and well mannered young man who was our waiter. I would recommend the country fired steak , it will not disappoint! Also the roast beef sandwich was delicious. I was surprised when freshly baked cookies came with the bill , put a smile on my face . Thanks will be back
Man, on a chilly, drizzly day, this menu hits the spot. Ordered roast beef sandwich plate. Couple pieces of bread, mashed potatoes in the center, all covered with the most tender roast beef, and savory brown gravy. This is the closest to Grandma's cooking I have ever purchased. Service was amazing. Nothing fancy, amazing food, clean, just the way we should be doing it like we used to. To top it off, the bill came, but was topped with a darn good, fresh hot chocolate chip cookie!
Felt like eating at grandma’s house. Our waitress, Linda made us feel right at home, with a friendly smile! The food was just as good! I ordered a double Bison burger with cheese (10/10) and my wife got the Swiss mushroom cheeseburger and it was amazing. Service was quick. Not a long wait even tho the place was nearly full. Great place to stop by for a home-cooked road trip meal!
