The cook prepared the food perfect, great tasting and timely. You couldnt ask for a better waitress than my waitress. She was so helpful and happy. I should say the waitresses and cook were all in great moods. Made the food taste 3 times better

I won t ever go back. I ordered a veggie omelet bacon and toast it was $27.00! Something isn t right! The veggies were not chopped up, my hash browns were undercooked. This place use to be really good. What happened? People in the kitchen arguing because only one grill was working.

If it wasnt a little a bit charming I would almost be ready to call this place an absolute garbage can of a restaurant. Luckily my family was here to keep me from calling you all out. Paid near 17 dollars for two half-palm sized pieces of overcooked catfish, at least the 18 french fries that came with it didnt make me want to vomit. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU EXCEPT THE SERVERS.

Eat this morning at the dinner. Food was horrible. Chicken noodle soup had no flavor even with tobasco sauce. Ordered a blacken salmond with broccoli and corn. Corn was microwaved and broccoli Had Dirt in it!! Salmon was badly cooked as well ( still slimy) . Go the the black bear dinner in the next exit.

I ordered eggs , hash browns, bacon and toast. She brought me the bacon, eggs and toast And the time the hash Browns came everything else was cold. I ate the bacon, she said she would give me 20% off. I said charge me for the bacon and only the bacon. Cause thats all I ate. The rest was cold, then I left will not go back.

Food was the same as every other iron skillet Ive been too, not bad but not great, I did get it much faster than most others however. This particular location however was a bad experience. For starters, both online and in the restaurant itself it says theyre open 6am - 11pm which is not true at least when I was there as they closed at 10pm. Also the menu needs to be updated or they need to tell people if something has changed on the menu because I ordered the blackened salmon with rice pilaf plus 2 sides and when I got my meal there was no rice. I asked my server if it came with rice pilaf like it says on the menu and she told me no it doesnt and walked away. So be aware youll pay full price for a meal but half of it will be missing.The service was also bad maybe it was inexperience maybe not I dont know.

The older lady we had was nice but stood right there as we filled in the tip which is strange.... the food is too expensive here and the waitress said it has gotten worse since buffet closed and Dunkin closed a few months back. Also Santa Fe salad.... no beans anymore & the chicken finger pieces were old, dry, red pepper they dont use just cheap yucky green ones which is not pictured or in description. This is ALL the iron skillet dont do the salad right across the country, so its time to find other restaurants while being at the truck stops. This one definitely seems like closing soon... dirty, old. Just use it for parking. $15 for a salad not worth it!

If it isnt bad enough that a truckbstop restaurant closes and isnt open when most of us leave in the morning so we can get breakfast this one closed 10 minutes early. Parked walked in to eat, not 10pm yet and they have already shut down. But dont worry you can go to the fuel island and pay a ridiculous amount of money for some cold meatloaf that has been sitting in the hot box for who knows how long. Youre better off walking to the other side of the freeway and getting Wendys.

I have eaten here many times before and this was rare. Food was burned on the bottom, couldnt even stab my rolls with a fork, corn was clumped into blobs, and eggs were hard. Waitress (Dawn) was amazing and very apologetic. Manager offered to have food redone, but we refused so they comped my meal and took some off of remaining ticket.
