This place is a greasy diner. Â The ingredients aren't anything flashy and are pretty processed, but it's solid and very cheap.
I had the walleye 'sandwich' which was $7.50 and upgraded 1.75 to substitute onion rings. They also had an all you can eat walleye that night for a few bucks more, but I can't imagine what that would've been like. The sandwich came with 3 huge pieces of fish. Â Couldn't even eat half of it but it was delicious.
They have hand dipped onion rings that are worth trying. This became a running joke because my mom used to actually work there in high school and while we were making onion rings at home once she mentioned she used to dip onion rings at the Powhatan... and here we are 35 years later still talking about it!
They have beer by the pitcher or mug and it's cheap. Â We ordered a pitcher of Sam Adams and it was gross so we sent it back for something else, she said she just changed the keg and the mixture wasn't right? IDK.
Cash only (probably due to the # of drunks they deal with), but they have an ATM at the door. Open 24/7, directly off of interstate 70.
(Also, the listing is spelled wrong--it's Powhatan).
Great iced tea to start. Friendly service too! Â Some jackass parked blocking the handicap space but not the restaurant's fault. The huge reasonably priced breakfast was definitely worth writing home about and the cook CAN make an over medium egg without tuning it into an over hard egg. Â The link sausages are at least 9" long and come 3 to an order and the bacon is thick and cooked just right! Â One of the more memorable breakfasts I've had in my life and it blows away anything else in the zip code!
Review Source:I came here by demand of an old alumni of the area and was told it is the spot for late night food that's cheap, huge portions, and delicious.
They were right in all of those categories.
I was told I had to order the Horseshoe, which entails as an open face cheese burger that is absolutely covered with chili and cheese and a side of fries even bigger covered just as well.
I tried my best, but still left a few bites. I felt accomplished still for how I had fared.
I tried my friends spicy chicken tenders that were great as well.
Now the best part for me was the hot chocolate. I'm sure that it was just a machine with powder in it, but dang that was the best powdered hot chocolate I've ever had. even topped with a dollop of whipped cream.
If you're driving by on the highway definitely stop by this little joint. you won't regret it!
I haven't been here in over 5 years! And boy was I happy to return.
I visited this place at least once a week while a college student. There are so many great menu options here, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that the menu had remained relatively the same.
I went with a nostalgic favorite, the spicy chicken tenders. Perfection. These suckers are spicy and not for the faint of heart! They're also sloppy wet which makes them even awesomer.
Other great options are the horseshoe, the colby cheese & bacon burger, the powhatan breakfast meal, and the almighty ooey gooey indian dessert.
Oh how I missed this place.
I absolutely love this place. The food is great and they give you alot and you're paying only about 8 bucks. From the outside, it's a beaten down truck stop where it looks like someone might be murdered, but the people are nice. They serve breakfast 24/7, I recommend "the Powhatan" They are famous for their chicken tenders though. By far, the best chicken tenders I've ever had.
