The food is pretty standard. Â We like the fried pickles, burgers, and chicken fried steak. Â Once you get past that you can have.....
DESSERT
Yes, dessert. Â Oh my goodness. Â Each time we go in we can't wait to check the chalk board to see the daily dessert specials. Â You could quite possibly become diabetic in one trip.
Do not order half lemonade/half sweet tea. I'm not sure why, but the waitress seemed to take offense that someone would want drinks mixed and said they don't do that there.
Now that's off my chest, the Grain Bin was meh.
The good: They carry Yellowbox and other knick knacks which my wife and daughter went nuts over. The desserts, oh my the desserts.
The bad: The food was just middle of the road.
After getting off on the wrong foot with 1 of our 2 waitresses, she got all of our drink orders save one. I'm not sure what happened but she never asked him for his order on the first go round.
We ordered some fried pickles before our meal. Pretty good pickles, about like the ones everywhere else.
For dinner my wife had the 8 ounce steak and I had the hamburger steak with onions and brown gravy. Sides were baked potatoes and salads.
The steak was kinda puny and flat. Just looked rather sad on my wife's plate. For the baked potatoes, they brought out a whole bowl full of the fixins instead of putting it on for you which was awesome. I have a soft spot in my heart for the old triangle sour cream we used to get with potatoes, being able to add just the right amount was perfect. My hamburger steak was good, had no problems with it.
Dessert, oh my. At the table we had: Big Red Cake, Brownies, Peach Cobbler with Ice Cream. The big red cake was like a white cake mix with big red poured on before being cooked. Both people that got it had huge (3"x3") slices and loved it. My son had the brownies... the bowl had decent sized brownies and a scoop of ice cream, we had some of the brownies for breakfast the next morning. I had the peach cobbler. Looked to have been made with canned peachers but was good anyways.
We'll probably be back, I won't make the mistake of ordering half n half again. I want to try the burgers or the pork cutlet next time.
