Iron Skillet

It was okay for a truck stop type of place.  I had the patty melt which was pretty good, my eating partner had the bacon cheeseburger and raspberry lemonade.  The report is the raspberry lemonade was good, the burger needed more bacon.  If I were to drive through this town again, I probably would not eat here.

After reading the reviews, I still had doubts; however, since my buddies and I were already here, we thought we would  give it a try.

When we came inside, a waitress told us to find any seating we wanted, which were quite plentiful.

Although there were plenty of workers there, we didn't get menus at all, so we ended up grabbing some after five minutes of waiting.

After we were inside for 10 minutes, we were finally asked about drinks.  After another 5, two waters came as requested, but mine took an additional 5.

A friend and I got the buffet.  The other had steak and eggs, ordered medium rare; however, that didn't came out as requested, but instead came medium well.  The meat tasted quite normal as any Denny's could possibly serve.  The toast, eggs, and hash browns, all normal.  Nothing spectacular.

So, how about our buffets, right?  The best part was the beginning.  The salad.  It was just downhill from there.

I tried a little of everything to figure out what was good...  NADA!  Maybe just the chicken enchilada was good; everything else, just decent or below average.

The salsa (pico de gallo) tasted like it was made 5 days ago.

The fried chicken, although I got it minute after it came out the kitchen, tasted like it was reheated.

The roast beef was dried out, so they left it in the au jus liquid to rehydrate it for your pickings.

The mash potatoes were decent..  As well as the sauces, both white and brown.

The meat loaf is the only protein that might be worth it, but age does nothing wrong to it, so cannot tell if its old for that flavoring to occur.

Ok, I was wrong on one thing, the baked chicken was actually the best protein.  It was freshly out the kitchen and tasted as so!!!   Only part of the buffet that was right, other than the clean salad bar!

NOTE:  If you go here, enjoy the ride...   Cause it is definitely a sketchy wooden coaster.

Tip:  Skip the soups and desserts altogether.

For being a highway restaurant it blows doors on anything else you will find. Foods  ok, bathroom is clean, fudge, supply's.
