No prob. It is more authentic plus cheaper. Just a heads up, if you spend less than $10, you gotta pay cash.
That's a great Photo. I have several similar to that in the cafe. It was taken about where the traffic roundabout is today. I think the Livery Stable is where Jr. food mart is now. I bet the Abitians all wish that the Livery building was still there. The building just past the livery is still there...It used to be Rauch's grocery and is now Artigue's grocery store. The cafe would be over and behind the photographer's left shoulder.
As far as hole in the walls go the best I have been to was a steakhouse in the literal middle of nowhere. I used to go to a tractor plant in Jackson, Minnesota for work. Jackson is about 90 miles east of Sioux Falls, SD and about 20 miles north of the Iowa state line. I asked some of the guys at the plant if there was worth eating near Jackson, and they directed me to this little place about 15 miles outside of Jackson called the Bergin bar and grill. It was on a dirt road a few miles off of MN 71 in the middle of a corn field. For most of the way there I figured the guys at the plant were messing with me. It was a tiny little joint, and it was packed with what seemed to be every farmer around. The steaks were thick, well marbled, and cooked just right. The price of a 24oz ribeye, baked potato, salad and two buckshot beers was under 25 bucks with tip. I know this because the place was cash only, and we had to turn in receipts for non corporate card meals over 25 bucks. Link to the place so you can see how in the middle of nowhere it is. Another good place I uncovered was in Sioux City, IA. It was called Miles Inn. They had a loose meat sandwhich called the Charlie Boy that was to die for. A Charlie Boy and a schooner of beer was 5 bucks. I ate there so much the bar keep eventually learned my name and the locals stoped giving me funny looks when I walked in.
Your compass is broke! Minnesota is east of South Dakota. Maybe that's a good way to find out of the way places.
HA!!! My geographic knowledge was supposed to be the thing that compensated for my spelling. I'm boned.
