Great diner at a truck stop with lots of food options, dessert, TVs, and WiFi. Nice spot to chill after a long day on the road. The tri tip sandwich, mac and cheese, and coleslaw were all delish and served quickly. Wonderful and friendly service!

I just had the best burgers and fries since In a while! They were juicy, soft, crispy and savory all at once. I got the bacon cheeseburger and my boyfriend got the Mac and cheese burger. They were both delicious! The fries were cooked to perfection and their ranch was soooo good. Definitely coming back to try some more of their stuff.

ATTENTION TRUCKERS: My husband and I had the customer service by "Monica" on 9/30/24 . And let me tell you... SHE WAS AMAZING!! Top of the line bubbly attitude, gracious & everything and more you could ask for in customer service. I don't know where they found her BUT... keep her around your customers will ALWAYS COME BACK! And the food.. WOW.. we had the truckers breakfast with biscuits and gravy and my husband had a coffee and I had a strawberry milkshake...we're coming back tomorrow just because. And we even asked for the manager during our visit JUST to relay that she is amazing too. YOU WON'T be disappointed at all... Thank you MONICA for being you!!

If you want a diner to eat a hefty ham n Swiss omelette then this is your place when in the neighborhood. Great service and friendly atmosphere

I'd probably rate this a four or 4.5, but my nostalgia for the old diner holds me back. While the diner looks great inside and out, we were surprised to learn we had to order at the cash register instead of from our seats. I ordered the biscuits and gravy, along with pancakes--something I usually skip. Unfortunately, the biscuits and gravy weren't great, carols makes the most amazing biscuits and gravy, but the pancakes were the best I've ever had; I'd definitely return for them. My husband enjoyed the ham and cheese omelette, packed with meat. One standout feature was a traveling chapel, which I thought was really cool--imagine a truck driver wanting to attend church on the road! Nice lighting and sound level.

We love this place. It's become a bit of a tradition for us to eat here with family whenever we're in the area. The prices are great, the portions are massive, and the service is no-nonsense, which I appreciate when all I want to do is sit down and shovel delicious comfort food down my throat. My favorite item to get is the Freight bowl. $15 for tons of juicy, tender tri-tip over mashed potatoes and corn with cheese and green onions -- seriously, wow. Hubby always orders something different but can't help himself and digs into my bowl too (there's certainly enough to share). As for my husband, he LOVES the pancakes here. They are massive and buttery. So lush! Just writing about this place makes me want to come back and eat. The clientele: Seems like a popular truck stop, so you'll get a lot of those types. But no one's ever bothered us here, and there are plenty of booths + seating. We've never been here when it's been packed, which makes us feel like it's a delicious hidden gem! We always love everything we order, and we come here with both adults and kids all the time. The service has been great no matter who we bring along. Can't wait to come back!

The service at this area is really nice. We came here at 5am for breakfast and the convenience of it was great. I didn't even know this was here. It's a decent diner that serves hot food that is pretty good and has hospitable service. Breakfast is 24 hours and they have lunch/dinner options too. The waitress said they are short a cook so from 1230-5am they are closed for now. The tri tip omelet we had wasn't on the menu, so we ordered a tri tip breakfast and a side of veggies for $19+2.7 and the portion was great. I had the tri tip breakfast and it was a lot of food! Would recommend ! It isn't the fanciest and it isn't the finest cuisine, but I like it better than neighboring breakfast places for sure. More bang for your buck.

BLUF: A very clean diner with fast and friendly service. The menu is full of options, and I chose the mushroom Swiss burger. The burger was adequately cooked with freshly sautéed mushrooms, onions, mayo, and fresh lettuce and tomatoes. The fries were crisp and plentiful! I stopped and parked here for the night, expecting to door-dash food or eat at the standard truck stop fast food restaurant. There is a Black Bear Diner across the street, but I saw this place first and decided to give it a try. You order your food and pay at the counter, where they have some desserts on display for purchase. After you pay, you are handed a tray and told to sit anywhere. The patrons are primarily truckers seeking refuge from their trucks while working on laptops, reading, and talking on their phones. There is enough space to choose the perfect seat, with plenty of comfortable booths. My food was out within 10 minutes, and I was pleasantly surprised by the appearance and quality of the arrangement. It tasted as good as it looked, and I would come back here to eat if ever in the area gain. Note of caution: the area draws in local, opportunistic vagrants. Keep aware of your belongings, lock your vehicle, and don't get sucked into interactions with them. One tried to "borrow" my phone to call a bank in Idaho...uh, no.
