⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Louis Malabas III
First time here and we have lunch 10/17/2025. Good food! Friedly server and staff, beautiful ambience! Perfect place to dine in before or after visiting the Maquoketa Cave.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Melissa G.
We had a great breakfast, it was the special 1/2 biscuit and gravy with two eggs for $7.95 and it was yummy. The restaurant and restrooms were very clean. The staff is super friendly.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Chris Domeyer
Our first visit. We had the House burger and tenderloin. Service was great and food was delicious. Definitely will visit again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Whitney H
Caroline was a wonderful waitress! 👏 She was on it! Food was delicious & portions were very generous. Maquoketa cave burger, Gyro burger & appetizer sampler were scrumptious. I used the restroom before leaving & it was clean...y'all could use a purse/coat hook in there though please 🙏
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Logan P Fondell
I’d give 10 stars if I could, consistently exceeding expectations especially when nowadays family owned restaurants cut costs with cheap alternatives then come up with a lack of consistent product. Those chicken tenders and the homemade ranch are spectacular.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — William Schember

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Matt Kurz
What a wonderful experience! We were greeted promptly and had a friendly server. The food was delicious and we didn't have to wait a long time despite it being busy with lunch time. The food is your standard American Diner fare, but executed in a fashion that was above average for your typical diner. I will stop by again if in the area. If you haven't been, and are hungry for what they have on their menu, they deserve at chance at you stopping by.
