"I have been eating here for several years now.. the food used to be much better and as far as the atmosphere I actually preferred it when they had booths.. it does look nicer but I don't care to eat at tables with hard chairs,. I've ordered chili recently and it has gone downhill it's quite greasy.. too much oil or something.. BLT's are good.. the service now is hit or miss.. time before last when I was here I waited about 15 minutes before someone took my order.. last night they were prompt.. I got the Catfish dinner special and it was good but overpriced.."

"Order the Amazing Catfish Dinner. The waitresses were very friendly. I couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable place with a home cooked meal to eat at. We got some more catfish, a huge slice of Carrot Cake and Blackberry Cobbler to go. Will stop again if passing through."

"Had lunch today and was really surprised that the truck stop diner was so good. I had country fried chicken which was incredible. The smash burger and the chicken club were also very good. Nice friendly waitress Hailey was great and had a great personality. Highly recommend this place."

"Throughout the years this spot became a go to. There isn't anything extraordinary about this place. It's just right. There's always a friendly conversation awaiting to take place. Watching Greyhound passengers anxiously waiting for the bus, taking them away to face their storms, new beginnings. The hotel next door shows the combination of struggle and quiet resilience. Midway is a very special spot in place and time."
