  I've not eaten here, but based on some of the other reviews I will def be checking it out.
  
  I've stopped in several times for gas and diet cola. Good place to fill up if you are on your way into the city since it just gets more expensive as you get closer.

  This is a great little local place for a meal on the road.  There were lots of local characters there when I stopped, and most seemed to know each other.  The waitress was friendly, the food was good, and it came out quickly.  If you're not a fan of the chain fast food restaurants, stop here the next time you're passing though.  You won't regret it.

  I ate here on my way out of town, and really enjoyed my breakfast. This restaurant is inside a truck stop, and after your meal you pay at the "fuel counter". There are plenty of tables and also a U-shaped dining counter. Smoking is allowed, but the ceilings are high and the place is big enough that you likely won't get much exposure.
  
  I had scrambled eggs with an English muffin and hash browns and a side order of fried mush. Everything arrived quickly and hot, and there was plenty of it. The mush was perfection! Crunchy on the edges and just slightly browned, and creamy and a little sweet on the inside. The best I've had in years. The hash browns were the kind which I don't prefer (like Denny's serves), but most people like them fine. They also serve American fries (like home fries?). Eggs were good, English muffin was perfectly toasted...I love English muffins. Some people near me got the Chicken & Noodles, which was the day's special, and it looked fantastic. Even the half-portion was huge!
  
  If you don't want the smoke exposure, there's another local restaurant on the other side of the interstate (Rensselaer Restaurant) which is smoke free.

  It's kinda nasty looking on the surface, a gas station/convenience store with a diner attached. Looks old, with an ancient dropped ceiling and flourescent lights.  You'd think "the hell with this, looks pretty ass" right? You'd be wrong.
  
  The food (the breakfasts at least) were big and out-freakin-standing.  The bacon was done perfectly, the eggs were done perfectly, the service was great, the people were friendly.  This food knocks some of the frou-frou brunch places in Chicago out of the park.  
  
  Top notch, I'm glad to know about this joint. If you're making the drive from Chicago to Indy (or vice versa), believe me you will be pleasantly surprised by this place.
