“ Great food. Great dining choices. Awesome waitress. Redocorated nicely after flood. Group of 10. Credit card machine not working. Quite inconvenient. Would have dined there again if machine had worked. ”
“ Very nice place to eat at! Very good food! Best mushroom Swiss think I have ever had, only issue was they gave us country fried steak and we ordered country fried chicken, seemed to be a issue with them fixing the order all of them stared at us like we was the one who made the mistake, but they did fix it and was very good, not much talkers almost seemed to be bothered all in all food was delicious ”
“ Believe it or not, we came from Ontario to Spencer to see the public library, where Dewey the cat as rescued 35 years ago. Decided to stay the night in town, and this sounded like a place we'd like to eat at. It would have been good, but unremarkable, except for the experience that our waitress provided. I'm sorry not to have caught your name, you're new (3 weeks) and was previously employed at a trick stop and currently have a pregnant kitty cat. This lady was a real character...perhaps for some tastes a bit too chatty, but we liked her down to earth friendliness and she made the evening for us. The food was great too! Good price, good selection and fast. Hot beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy, and a burrito platter. So good! Hey, thanks a lot for making our evening interesting! I hope you find a good home for the kittens. :) ”
