Guidebook for Elyria
Food Scene
A very popular local greasy spoon, with great big portions.This place has boasts plenty of chubby, teenage waitresses who call you "honey" and crack their chewing gum, while they sling slide your plates of piled-high food right to you. You will see people eating from plates of grease drenched, crunchy, golden fried chicken, and per cut and frozen french fries. Yum yum - Pass the ketchup.
They specialize in things like: baked-ahead-turkey and beef, served up in long strings, kept warm and ready to eat in a warm water bath. Your dish will come paired up with a side of reconstituted potato flakes covered in thick neon yellow gravy! Yummy! This place seems to draw an older crowd.

This is a chain/franchised place. It looks like the old Quaker State Gas Stations all green and white. And seems like a place to get your oil changed but it is a pretty good place to eat. I love their homemade potato chips They have live music on about 4 nights a week. Once there was a good Swing Band there and I did some dancing.
On Thursdays the parking lot fills up with motorcycles and there is live music around supper time!I have never been but I an going to one of these old days.

I have eaten there once and found my selection to be delicious. I had a Steak Salad. It had loads of greens, a lot of blue cheese, a bit of tomato, and reasonable amount of steak cooked to order. They are a busy all the time.

This place has been in operation for at least 60 years. They are supposed to have a really good burger. I ate there about a year ago and found it OK. The burger was nothing special. But they are also a bar and do get a lot of business on the weekends.
