This small but bustling diner puts everyone in a good mood. The terrific breakfasts include a serving of real butter with the pancakes, and the sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit receives high marks. One bite into the chicken-fried steak will tell you it's made the Explorer Way, and it comes with real mashed potatoes. The homemade pies and desserts are not to be missed.
