Dinky Diner — Restaurant in Decatur City

I am not real sure what everyone is raving about??!! My family and I stopped there when we were traveling to Iowa because I believed these reviews and thought the place would be a great lunch stop. First the good, the waitress was super friendly and efficient. There were several people in the diner and she was doing a great job of keeping up. She is the highlight there! The food was average, nothing special to make you go to that dinky place. And now to the bad---the place is filthy!

Well it's so cute! And easy access right off I35. Good size menu of comfort foods. I chose the hand-breaded tenderloin and cheeseballs (my waistline will thank me later). The loin was HUGE!! (Nope ...couldn't eat it all) Big portion of cheeseballs (Yup... ate them all). Pop is by the can (fine with me). The menu and counter items (napkin, salt/pepper shakers) were clean (good sign of a clean kitchen). Gal was friendly and service was quick. I'll take this place over high-end snobbery restaurants every time! Looking forward to...
