  Truly, a spur of the moment decision.
  Riding along US 30, aka, Lincoln Highway, just a few miles west of the Flight 93 Memorial, we were hungry.
  Stopped at a traffic light and looked to my right and said, "This is dinner for us".
  
  Met the owners sitting and rocking on the front porch, and so far, it's great. Fantastic yeast rolls as big as your hand. And sweet tea so good, it'll make you want to slap your mama.
  From Hot Meatloaf sandwiches to 8oz. Strip Steak with baked potato, a fine home meal.
  As a special unexpected treat, the owner called out to the entire dinning room for our attention.
  He told the story of a poem he wrote after his father died while he was in Vietnam Nam as a Marine, and two years to the day, burying his mom. The poem is about appreciating our Moms and Dads and all they do for us as we are growing up.
  He hands out a copy to anyone who wants one.

  Very tasty! The service was good and the portions were huge! The place is very clean and neat. It also has a lot of history about the area and also the 911 site in Shanksville

  Absolutely unadulterated trash. I payed 11 entire American dollars for what was listed as "honey mustard chicken", and to be completely honest, I went in with decent expectations. Instead of receiving a filling meal for a fair price, I was hoodwinked by the absolutely criminal conduct that goes on the "kitchen". I received a small, grey, extremely unimpressive cut of chicken that, as expected, was completely devoid of flavor. To make up for this, they decided to simply drown in in honey mustard sauce and throw a couple of lukewarm fries on a plate. I took several minutes to think to myself why this might have happened: my friend seated next to me received a burger with fries and slaw, a heaping meal that filled the plate to the brim, for about $5. Then I realized: I had ordered the salad bar. You know a resteraunt is truly in trouble when "salad bar" is a strong term. Nestled in the corner of the restaurant is a small trough filled with several tiny bins that may, if the workers decide fill them, contain a few pieces of lettuce or shredded carrot along with several other common salad bar offerings. Next to this bland display are two pots of soup, each offering an equally-wattery and unpleasant soup (my offerings were "beans with ham" and "beef barley"). The only saving graces of this restaurant, which there were very few of, were the fact that our server was a decent guy and the sizable dinner roll that I was served.
  
  If you can't already guess, I wasn't impressed. 2/10 on the Joe scale. Attached is a picture of my meal fit for a king.
