This pared-back truck stop might not look much from the outside, but it houses a mom-and-pop-style restaurant that's a hit with truckers and travelers alike. Vintage signs and music posters decorate the walls, and the menu is packed with comforting dishes from fried chicken to biscuits and gravy. "John's Steak" – broiled rib-eye with grilled onions, mushrooms and jalapeños – is a house favorite.
The truck stops website also says -
We feature high quality Midwest beef, local egg and dairy products, fresh breads, and other seasonal items from Midwest producers. Our all day menu is inspired by our desire to be a home away from home for the truck driver. So try our homemade meatloaf, lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, or biscuits & gravy!
