Small town diner in rural Missouri. People know each other, but welcome strangers as we were. This happened to be their Thanksgiving dinner event for the year and several people attended and waited for the start of the dinner at noon. Not knowing what was going on, we ordered their double cheeseburger, which was very tasty. While eating our burgers the head waitress came out and announced to the crowd the Thanksgiving menu and afterwards said she was not going to repeat it, which received several chuckles. Overall, a nice small town diner with a homey atmosphere and good American fare.
