Great food! Everything came out hot, and in a quick manner. Very courteous staff. Big variety on the menu, they offer a little bit of everything, with a home like feel. Closest to home cooking you can get in my little home town.
Small little place tucked into a corner of Taylorville. Friendly people. They welcomed us in. The waitress was very cordial with my kids as they stopped her and asked her about things and extra sauces or food. She was on it for drinks. Food was hot and plenty of it. Not a fan of the thrown together side salads. Everything else was good
Solid local breakfast/lunch diner in a town where fast food dominates the main drag. I had a mushroom-Swiss burger that was better than it had any right to be, and my son said the French toast was made "to perfection." Also found it to be clean and the service was efficient.
Fast friendly service large portions of food omelette very tasty fried potatoes very nicely done
Don't skip this place! Homemade food, large portions and tastes great. I had the smothered chopped steak: large portion comes with a side salad and potato, very yummy. Husband had the hot beef, soooo much food and the brown gravy was awesome. To top it off we both had the homemade pies, peach and chocolate cream, both amazing!
This used to be a favorite restaurant of mine years ago. It still is now. I had not been to the restaurant since it changed to Country Kitchen (which was a long time ago!), but I recently stopped there twice. It was nice and cozy as always. The food portions were good-sized and the staff are courteous and friendly. Dining in was just as expected, and the take-out took quite of bit of time to prepare, but the food was hot and well done. Recommended for a small-town diner.
Homemade Pie...stop, re-read that! I do not even care if everything on the menu was average (which it was not), do you understand how hard it is in today's society to find truly authentic homemade pies?! I ordered two slices of pie after our server explained to me that every pie in their glass cooler was made by her aunt daily; yes please! I ate a slice of Lemon Pie for starters, then I had the Mexican Skillet for my dinner and I took home a slice of Blueberry Pie for good measure. The standout to me was the Lemon. The skillet was amazing and so big I took home half for dinner the next day. The Blueberry was delicious as well, but just a notch under the Lemon. I cannot say enough great things about the restaurant and cannot wait to return and checklist some more pies!
