| - I teetered between 3 and 4 stars, but I've decided to go with 4 because the good things about this place outnumber the things that kind of irked me. I've been here maybe 3 or 4 times over the course of about 3 years and it has steadily improved. I would have given this place 1 star a couple years ago.
I will start with the irks, since the list is small. The service leaves a little to be desired. I couldn't help but feel rushed by the waiter/bus boy who took my drink order and rushed again by the waitress/hostess/manager who took my food order. Both of them were walking away from me before I completed my order. I asked for a cranberry juice and before I could ask for a water also, he was already walking away. The same went for the waitress who was walking away as I asked for a side of bacon. I was checked on a few times, but again, it all kind of felt stilted and rushed.
The food has improved vastly, and since I go to places to eat good food, the occasional terse employee won't ruin it for me. I'd rather have that than a very friendly waitress bring me garbage.
On my most recent visit, I ordered the chicken fried steak with scrambled eggs and the country potatoes with a side of bacon. The portions were huge and I could not finish it all. Everything came out hot and fresh. The steak was very large and delicious, tons of gravy. The country potatoes, though not very crispy, had a lot of flavor. The eggs were good too, it felt like easily 3 eggs. The biscuit is yummy as well. It's a little dense as other reviewers note, but still very good and buttery. The side of bacon was huge, I must have gotten like 5 slices.
The prices are VERY reasonable, I have zero complaints there. I can go in and get stuffed for a very small amount of money. I regularly get my truck worked on across the street from this place, and based on my last experience, I'll be making this my main go to place when waiting.
