    Visited this quaint ,family owned restaurant for their Sunday Breakfast Buffet. I'm visiting Iowa for 1st time. We were seated immediately, drink orders taken and picking up yummy scrambled eggs. Biscuits n gravy. And YUMMY french toast cut into dunking stix. Drinks were refilled in timely manner, and of course with a smile! I have to admit; I got full before I could try the cinnamon rolls that I could smell from time we walked in... So I took one with me. Oh my! It looked innocent enough, but the decadent icing on the yeast rolled with the most delicious cinnamon mix. I'm sure when you have one at restaurant, the slight warmth makes them even better!! Oh..I forgot to mention the Vanilla Sky. Snicker Doodle, and Red Velvet specialty coffee drinks we had..they were great, and they are available all the time, so come for food. Stay for lovely coffee drinks, and friendly staff!!

    Long-standing local staple in a new location. First time trying it since they've moved, and the menu, food, and service were pretty much the same. It's definitely nice to see something thriving in this building that had switched hands so many times. The only complaint was that everything was hard surface, and the noise level was very high, so the sound was amplified. Don't know that this is a problem for others, I have very sensitive hearing, but some sound deading would go a long way. If you're looking for a local diner for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a combination, this is your place.

    Stopped by for lunch on 11/8/2023. I was greeted by an incredibly friendly waitress. The menu was varied and I went with a classic Reuben on toasted dark rye and onion rings. The sandwich was of good size and the ingredients were all in just the right proportions to have a balanced flavor. I also enjoyed the onion rings although the sandwich was the star of the show. Definitely a great option for those looking for breakfast or lunch in the Algona area.

    First time visit. It was on 12/28/23, around noon, it was quite busy, but not full. The food was flavorful, once it arrived at our table. The hot beef plate was very salty, and the breaded shrooms were burnt, extremely crispy. It took a considerable amount of time for our food to arrive, there were five of us. We understood this wait, as all food is prepared after ordering, which is wonderful. However, the wait time still seemed to be extensive. Upon leaving we felt instead of being upfront with prices, we were nickeled and dimed to death. *The Smothered Chicken plate was to come with one extra side, we asked which side come with it, and were told where the sides are listed. That's great, however ordering from that list, we were charged $2.00 for the side. *We were asked if we wanted a dressing for the French fries & breaded shrooms. Waitress suggested "ranch' so we said "sure". We were charged $.50 for each of those two dressings. *We were never brought additional water to the table and were charged for a glass of water. Every restaurant we've ever dined in has given water with the meal. We've never been charged for water when food is ordered. Being charged for water was a total surprise. These are just a few examples of why we felt we were nickeled and dimed. The total surprise was about $3.70 which is no big deal, however, we'd rather have that reflected in the overall menu prices rather than be a surprise when checking out. We are from the southeast part of the US, when the restaurants upcharge such as this, the waitress is to tell the table. The building is very cute, they have found very clever ways for extra storage such as antique chest. Overall, they seemed a little stretched for staff. Maybe like everywhere else in the country, good staff are extremely hard to find. We would definitely return, as overall the food was good. We are hoping they will review their current policy of adding to the final bill and stop up charging.
