Additional comments
Mel, my lady server, was very attentive and friendly! She came back to do my reorder and asked about drink refills. I thought the check was brought a little too early, as I was planning to do a reorder. It’s possible that my server didn’t know that this was how it should be done.
The gravy could have had a beefier taste, but the onions and fresh mushrooms were cooked just right. The onions were not strong like some restaurants serve and the mushrooms were sautéed just right.
The garlic toast was hot, seasoned just right and came with my reorder as well.
The baked potato was hot, done all the way through, and had butter and sour cream served on the side. This also came with the reorder.
The soup and salad bar were well stocked and very fresh and colorful. When I saw it, I knew that I needed a meal which included this!
My drink was cold, robust and not loaded to the top of the glass full of ice. A straw was also included without my asking. The chocolate pudding was flavorful and a delicious ending to the meal.
There was plenty of natural light from outside due to being surrounded by full sized windows, as well as the inside lighting. The banter of the patrons and the homey feel with real plant life both inside and out made my dining a wonderful experience. It felt good to enjoy a nice meal in a relaxed and unhurried way after a few days of running exceptionally hard.
This appears to be an older restaurant and travel center, but the experience you’ll have would be worth a stop. The menu has many options, including “all you can eat” options on the back.
