This is a great little spot to eat. We enjoyed the bacon and eggs breakfast and the pork chop and eggs breakfast. Pretty good food at a reasonable cost.

My team and I dined here for 7 days at lunch time. The food is impeccable and fresh. The pie is top notch. We travel on a weekly basis and eat at many diners and restaurants. This is by far one I’ll remember for a long time. Quality of food is incomparable to other places and the staff are extremely friendly. Owners are very friendly and even remember your orders from the previous day. The Ma and Pa diner many seek and little find. We appreciate the hospitality and food freshness. Will definitely return as they are only a little over an hour from my home and worth the drive.

Cheese burger is flavorful and fresh. Lots of options for salad diy. Grilled chicken sandwich is the best grilled chicken I’ve had in America. They make restaurant style food and charge fast food price. Nice place.

Went specifically for the pork tenderloin. Best Tenderloin I have had for a while. Cook has secret breading. Excellent and spicy.

Are you looking for a small town, locally owned, off the grid establishment where high school kids with manners are willing to serve you and genuinely care about your experience? Go to Woodward, head to Main Street and find this place on the east side. Bring cash. This is an old building built in the late 1800s so it has a lot of character and charm. I have had other menu items from here but tonight we ordered pizza because that's what we saw everyone walking in and picking up. We were not disappointed, the crust and sauce are on point and delicious! We are coming back for breakfast. They do have a bar and beer so you can let loose if you like. Come check it out!

OMG! Was in Perry for a swim meet & googled places to eat. This little gem in Woodward (about 14 miles drive from Perry) was totally worth the short drive. The description "Small" pizza is deceiving, as it was more like a medium! Sandwiches (chili burger & a pork lovers) totally filled us up! No chips needed Dean was a great host! ...
