The Denver omelet was nicely filled with red, green peppers, onions, ham and cheese. Hash browns could have been a little browner, sausage gravy was country gravy with diced sausage layed on top. The biscuit was fried which is uncommon but really tasty. My milk came out cold and with the food, just as ordered. If we're back in the area we'll visit again."

I was a truck driver passing through and stopped by the front desk to inquire about overnight parking. The answer was: free parking! Although I didn't buy anything, they didn't mind if I borrowed their microwave to heat up some food, as my truck's transformer had tripped and the microwave wasn't working. I found everyone to be incredibly friendly and welcoming; they weren't impatient at all, even though I didn't buy anything. I highly recommend all truck drivers to experience their convenient service. Thank you!"

Food came out fast and hot and magically delicious!!! I will be back. Sorry i was too hungry to take pictures."
