Baxter's Restaurant — Restaurant in Fremont

Baxter’s is a restaurant in small town Fremont, Iowa. My husband and I popped in for dinner to support the business that is in my hometown. The server is an elderly woman who appears to be tasked with answering the phone, taking orders, delivering orders and cashing people out. There was another younger girl who gave us menus and got our drinks, but she definitely seemed to be under utilized. It took a hot minute before we placed our order. Both ladies were very friendly. It was Taco Wednesday, so I ordered then taco basket which consisted of 3 tacos (I got soft shell) for $6. For that price, I assumed they would be small. They were not. I also got a side of refried beans for $1.50 which came with melted cheese. I was only able to eat 1 1/2 tacos and not all beans.

My wife had the hand-breaded chicken strips, mac and cheese and baked beans (sweetened with molasses, maybe). All were delicious. The prices were even more surprising. Dinner for 2 with drinks for about $25. We even left with leftovers for another meal. This place is worth the drive. Our only regret is that we didn't add the homemade onion rings to our...

My husband ordered the smoked pork chop. He loved it. Full of flavor. I ordered the Philly cheese steak. It was big enough for two. But oh so good. Very cheese & loaded with peppers & beef. Yes we took...
