Paul & Christa's Diner — Restaurant in Jefferson Township

I used to live up the road in Lk Winona but moved to Va years ago. Paul & Christas was a favorite place of mine & several friends. It's been several years since I went back to visit but I always made it a point to stop in while up there. She makes a phenomenal Cajun, cheddar cheese burger and is the only one of all the restaurants I've been to, that knows how to make fries really, really crispy (almost burnt).

With plenty of other diners and places to eat, we won't...

This was an all around pretty awful experience. Went with 3 kids, watched two tables who arrived after us receive all their food. Waited nearly a hour. When we finally received food, it was mediocre at best. Complained about the very clearly rotten avocado I was served. Chef (Christa?) acknowledged it when I brought it up, yet still served it. Ambience is charming if you want to take the time machine back to 1960. General cleanliness left a lot to be desired. And after all that, discovered it was CASH ONLY. In 2023. The waitress was very nice and I felt badly for her given she had no control of the...
