“ Feel good food - a piece of Americana in the Heartland! My family always has breakfast here when we come to Lafayette. You can't go wrong with any of the skillets. Michelle took great care of us and everything was delicious. Definitely recommend having breakfast here if you are staying at one of the hotels on SR 26. ”
“ Simply good food. Burgers were incredible. Onion rings and fries were good too. Service was friendly. Crowded and alittle loud but to be expected at the time we visited. Definitely the better option and better rated than those around them. Worth stopping here. ”
“ Had a late lunch at The Country Cafe in Lafayette on a Monday, and it totally hit the spot. Walked in, got seated right away—no wait at all. My server was right there with a smile, took my drink order fast, and handed me a menu without any delay. Friendly, efficient, and exactly the kind of service you hope for when you're just looking for a good meal without the fuss. I went with the chicken fried steak, and I’ve gotta say—it didn’t disappoint one bit. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the breading had that perfect golden crunch. They ladled on just the right amount of gravy—flavorful and smooth without overpowering the dish. You could tell it was made fresh and with care, not just reheated from a freezer bag. The whole place felt clean and relaxed, like a diner that’s been quietly keeping locals fed for years. Ten minutes from order to plate, and I was digging in. I’d come back here in a heartbeat if I find myself in Lafayette again. ”
“ My family and I recently moved to the area and found this wonderful breakfast spot. The food was delicious, affordable and the service was outstanding! My waitress was so nice and friendly that she made me feel like we were old friends. 5 stars isn’t enough and we will be returning without a doubt ”
“ Delicious food at a reasonable price, great menu selection, and really awesome and friendly staff. I stopped in for breakfast while traveling through Indiana. Great location with easy access off the highway. I had the "Sunrise", which was biscuits and gravy, 2 eggs and bacon. Everything was great. The server was very friendly. Food came out quick. ”
