Cornstalk Restaurant

We were driving from Colorado to Illinois and on the crazy drive found ourselves in the middle of no where and starving. I can't say there were many impressive reviews but for a truck stop diner, there seemed to be some fair and entertaining comments that we felt this was a must see.

The directions on the GPS took us in to the main downtown, which resembled a ghost town. We realized it was right at the entrance off the highway on the west side. Most of the trucks/semi's blocked the simple store front of the restaurant that is attached to the gas station. We were served immediately a hot cup of coffee, that was tasty.

Our food was simple fair. My friend ordered a veggie omelette with toast and I had the  biscuits and gravy. My food was cold and seemed to be store packaged/processed products, nothing homemade :( My friend's omelette came back to haunt her within 30 minutes on the road. Overall, it was an experience, one that won't occur again, but I can say I've been there, done that...and survived.
