We stopped for a delicious lunch on our way to Michigan in a snowstorm. What a warm, cozy, lovely stop for delicious brisket and potatoes. It was perfect until I realized in Sioux City I had left my very special scarf in my booth. Imagine my joy when I called and had the good fortune to reach Victoria who found my scarf and agreed to mail it to me. I will be forever grateful to her. In these days of subpar customer service Ditty’s reigns supreme. Go here and eat and tip generously. They deserve our support and our dollars. Thank you, Victoria!

A 1923 Ford Model T sits in the ceiling and the bartender can tell the story of how it ended up there. The restaurant sits in the back of the convenience store, but the aura is so different that you forget you’re in a gas station once you’re seated. Service is polite and prompt, and the food is pretty good - particularly the potato salad. The prices can add up very quickly however as the menu price only rejects the sandwich. Once you tack on a side and a drink, you’re looking at $20+ per person.

Great food and service, exactly what we were looking for as a road trip dinner stop

I’m pretty picky with a discerning palate. Don’t judge a book by its cover. The food here is great! I had the hamburger steak. Sorry I already started eating it before I thought to take a picture. Better than mom used to make!

The omelet was excellent. The service was great. There is plenty of parking for trucks. There is even free Wi-Fi. I would have given it 5 stars, but it only has one men's commode, and it needed attention. I told the c-store cashier, but they didn't seem interested.
