Established before WiFi this Cafe has the small town feel with great food that is missing in life. The Chili dog make with Buffalo (cheese optional) made other places taste like it was from a can. Wow, the pulled pork sandwich was good too. Not over powered and the pork and beans served with fresh crispy tots made this the place to go. Did I mention you can have a beer with your dinner? 5 stars.

Blue ribbon is a family favorite of ours. We've gotten their deserts and dinners/lunches and their blue ribbon chicken is a personal favorite of mine. As far as deserts their cinnamon rolls are very heavy on the cinnamon so I opt for their fruit rolls. A great place to get your classic family meal pictured is their blueberry roll

One of our favorite restaurants. Will be sad when they are no longer serving. We have always had great experiences, amazing food, and wonderful customer service. Love this place. It's truly a staple in this little town.

The food is excellent and fairly priced. The Buffalo Chili was out of this world .. Our grandson who's 3 asked for the hamburger with ham on it. My wife had a mushroom and cheddar cheese hamburger and all were very happy. Potato salad and the sweet potato fries were excellent too

Had their special of fingers steaks and choice of soup and chose the lasagna soup. To be honest probably the best finger steaks I’ve ever had and the lasagna soup was amazing.

Nice little place to stop by to get your morning started. They bake most all of the own bread. You really can't go wrong with that you order. They serve all the classics and do them well.
