Stopped by for breakfast and stayed for the prime rib. Breakfast was 🐔 fried steak, eggs and red 🥔 with gravy. Great portions for 11 dollars. Prime rib dinner was pretty tasty also, and only 16 dollars. The only minor complaint is the horseradish sauce, really runny and meh at best, but you get salad or soup, mashed potatoes, green beans or seasonal vegetables and cornbread, a good value overall.
