  Stopped in for breakfast driving through. Good cheap eats for sure!  Interesting cafeteria set up in the front and then the dining room in the back.
  
  Got French toast and their "world famous" biscuits and gravy.  French toast was good. Biscuits and gravy were very good.
  
  I would definitely stop back here when passing through.

  The last time I ate downtown, I ate at The Big Cheese, probably when I was working for Elder-Beerman, or perhaps at Tony's Italian Sausage cart during Rose Festival.  I'd been gone a while.
  
  The few times I'd been downtown, the place was closed (they aren't open past 3 on weekdays) or I had already eaten, but today, I made an effort to try it.
  
  I could barely read the menu on the wall, perhaps because it's black and white and the characters are rather thin.  They have quite a few options, though.  I decided on the stuffed green peppers and potato salad for the side item, though they had pasta salad and pineapple available, also.
  
  Fountain Coca-Cola products are available and other items are in the case prior to the line.  Yes, there is a cafeteria-style line.
  
  The food was good but could have used more flavor.  The potato salad was not as bland as the worst I've had, but they could add some paprika and celery salt to give it a bit more.  For around $7.00, it wasn't bad for lunch.

  This place is good for a quick bite but the food is similar to what I would quickly throw together myself at home. I tried a wrap one day which was okay, and a salad the next. The lettuce was drenched in water and they accidentally gave me turkey instead of chicken like I had asked. Very nice staff though. I would still go back to try other options.

  I frequent this cozy little restaurant since it is conveniently located next door to my office. I was sad to learn that Tom was turning his business over, but glad to see the menu was basically staying the same. A few signature items have been added that I have tried and I'm a big fan of their mac 'n cheese.
  
  The Tin Lizzie Cafe has probably close to the cheapest lunch in town, yet the food is still pretty good quality. You'll definitely get your money's worth. I look forward to seeing how this business develops in the near future.

  The hash browns are frozen, cube shaped, and from the dollar store. The staff is very friendly though.
