“The husband and I on our yearly anniversary trip. We get the map out and hit the road this tear we choose to go north. We stick to old highways and county roads. To enjoy Gods beautiful land scape. We ran across this little spot off the highway. First the bathroom smelled amazing and actually clean. I didn't feel I need to hover so thank you for that. I grabbed a turkey and Swiss sandwich. It was really good loved the fresh bread and meat. Made me feel like grandma made it for me!! I was bummed we missed the kitchen being open. It was definitely worth the stop. Staff was friendly and smiled!!!!!So if you'r every in the area definitely stop in.”
