Sat there for 10 minutes looked at by several employees after they seated us and ignored. We left. Usedto be good now poor poor service. So much for some so called travel channel review. You don't service your customers you get bad reviewsMore

Came in at 9:30 PM. Asked waitress what time they closed. She said 10:00 PM so okay. We both ordered wbut then never saw waitress again. At 10:10 PM we left as restaurant was empty, even our waitress was MIA and never got salads. Guess...they closed on us without serving us. Just a memo for late night service.More

my husband and I stopped at Grammas on our way out west and my husband had the brisket and it was very good.On our way back home we stopped again for the brisket. The waitress asked the cook if the brisket was done he said...it would be done by 4:00 p.m. and it needed to rest for a bit and we could get some then .so we told her we would wait. She went back at 4:30 and asked him if he would cut the brisket he said no and was really mean to the waitress and said he might not even cut it the next day. I feel the cook is mean to the waitresses and I probably won't go back.More

It is a bit expensive to eat here but it's off of I-80. The calzone was good, tater tots smothered with cheese was good too. Even though pricey, will still stop in again and maybe split a meal. Not busy at noon on a Tuesday....Good service by the waitress.More

Way too expensive! Almost $40 for two. Food is “okay”. Corn tasted old. Mash potatoes were under seasoned. Salad bar was minimal and lettuce was wilted.

Made reservations for Father's Day Brunch. Asked the lady on the phone is they had a Brunch she said yes. We asked to make a reservation for the Brunch. She asked what time would we like 9am. She said ok. When we arrived on Sunday...for the Brunch were told by the manager and Server that it didn't start until 10. I asked why we weren't told that? The server was very disrespectful and said it has always been 10am and implied that we should have known that.More

No mask-no social distancing-wide open buffet. My husband and I thought we might have breakfast there. We waited at least 10 minutes to be acknowledged and seated. We were seated for another 10-15 minutes without any acknowledgement. None of the staff and very few customers...wore masks. It was really scary to watch all the unmasked people getting food from the buffet. Not one was seeing using hand sanitizer. We masked up and left.More

My friend and I stopped here on our way home back to Kansas. I thoroughly enjoyed the cinnamon pancakes which had cinnamon, brown sugar and butter icing on the top. I also had a cup of coffee. The pancakes were huge. I enjoyed every bite....I definitely will stop here again if in the area. I highly recommend this restaurant.More

The food was delicious. The wait staff very friendly. But not a single member of the staff, at least of what I observed, was wearing a mask. Have you not heard of COVID-19?

I have been to this restaurant and have recommended it over the World's Largest Truck stop. However, I was so disappointed Sunday, August 2, 2020 when we walked in and no one was wearing masks include waitress. They had a salad buffet open to diners....I will not be returning to this restaurant because I do love my grandmother, grandfather and several others to be respectful and wear a mask as asked of health workers. If you choose to continue to patronize this restaurant please make sure you tell your loved ones that you love them but its about YOUR comfort.More

I just pulled up their website and they show that they will be open on Thanksgiving Day from 6am to 10pm. However, it also says, "Times May Differ." All in all, they look to be open for Turkey Day.
