“ A excellent little out of the way place. Well worth a stop. Great food, great service. ”
“ My family has been talking about this place for a very long time... I was starting to think it was a tall tale... until I was finally able to stop here. When you first walk in it's very welcoming and brightly rustic. The staff and other customers were wonderful during our time there. We opted to sit in the restaurant area; a quaint area with a salad bar, I knew then that this place was going to be awesome! I tried the "famous in my family" fresh chicken fingers... they lived up to the hype! Lightly coated with an amazing batter that's not thick or heavy. The chicken cooked to perfection, tender and juicy... a perfect paring! Then there's the honey mustard, that stuff should be illegal it's so good! I know, it's a condiment, but I'm telling you... it needs it's own category. It's sticky, sweet with just the right amount of mustard flavor and tang. You can purchase the honey mustard to go too... and you bet I bought some to bring home. If you're in the area, and you like hidden gems that are super low-key in the best way, I highly recommend stopping by. The staff/owner/other customers made our stop even more enjoyable... and when they would come to our table they included my children as well instead of talking just to the adults, (and were patient with them) which I loved! I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area again. ”
“ Cash Only, fyi. Cute, quaint, place full of a lot of locals. We came in here on a Sunday around 11:00. We were greeted immediately by Peggy. She was amazing. The service was excellent, prices very reasonable, and the Bloody Mary was perfect! This place has a great vibe to it. Highly recommended. PS, if Peg's reads this, we shorted you on your tip because we didn't realize you were cash only. We will definitely make up for it next time we come back! ”
“ Great place to stop and get some great home cooking. Sissy was great and made us feel at home. The goulash was just like my grandma used to make, delicious! Very reasonable prices also. Can't wait to stop in and try the prime rib. ”
“ Peg's is a wonderful scenic highway treasure, local community bar and grill. A welcoming home away from home, gasthaus sort of place American style. It had real class, lace curtains in the windows, clean blond wood ceilings and walls and tasteful bragging rights decor. Sit at the bar with built in carpeted foot rest or restaurant seating in two rooms, cozy even. I had the buffet for a late lunch early dinner. It was heavy on the meat and potatoes side with breads, veggies and picnic salad selections. The ribs were tender as you can get them, falling off the bone, roast beef juicy and delicious. Fried chicken done right, crispy not soggy spiced just right. It was a feast I'm glad I stopped for and will stop again. ”
“ Kinda small, definitely came at dinner rush. Small but mighty soup,salad and potato bar. They have a build your own burger with 4 toppings with a large variety to pick from. The chicken and wild rice soup was some of the best I have had. All the potatoes were super yummy. Definitely will be coming back. ”
“ Great food and friendly service. You won't find typical bar food from a freezer truck here, it's vittles made with heart. Peg is a great cook and Sissy takes good care of the customer. We'll definitely be back. ”
“ Peg is the best! Great service and food. The place ended up getting packed, and she was on top of her game working solo. We will definitely be back! ”
