    This was my first time here during a visit to my daughter who is in grad school at Purdue.
    There were 3 of us.  The Belgian Waffle with strawberries was cooked perfectly, and the strawberries are real and not a "syrup". I tried a homemade biscuit and that was very nice. My daughter had the biscuits and gravy and American fries/hash browns.  She would give them a 4/5.  Our server Ginger was very good, she went out of her way to notice my BF drank a lot of water and gave him a large glass.  The pies were also homemade and fabulous!  Highly recommend! :)

    It's a diner, so the clientele and decor are what you would expect. Service was good. Lot of waitresses. This place is pretty busy. Parking seemed easy.

    The problem is the food. It was just bad. I ordered a perch sandwich. It was obviously a frozen, pre-cooked fish filet that was re-fried on site. As a result, breading was way too crunchy, fish was *very* fishy, the bun fell apart. I ate half maybe. Bad fish like this is why a huge swathe of middle America makes blanket statements like "I dont like fish". If you've only ever eaten gross fish like this, I guess I can understand. Just know there is real fish out there and it's spectacular.

    Fries were good though. Daughter had a cheeseburger. Tasted like the cheap burgers you would get at a company cookout. Seemed like pre-cooked frozen meat discs thrown on a flat top to heat through. Edible at least.

    Not the best service. Food was ok but nothing to rave about! Waited 20 mins for the check in which I had to get up and ask the checkout person to get it...

    Food was not good. Service was bad.  Not sure why anyone would go back...  Runny eggs, limp bacon, burnt toast, not my thing. Try the Downtowner, or Denny's, Bob Evans, the place behind the gas station near Denny's...Cracker Barrel, I mean there are other options.

    I moved yesterday and my morning reward was Shellie's! I have always wanted to try the breakfast. Honestly, one of the best omelettes I have ever had. I tried the Denver, with cheddar instead of American cheese. It was super loaded! I added a pancake, which was just ok. The biscuits and gravy my fiancé had were good, but could have used some salt. Great biscuits! I would definitely try this for breakfast again. .
