Local long time fave
Ye olde small town place. Restaurant between two attached bars- one bar is closed for remodeling- going to be like the ’Dotty’s’. (there is a ’foxy’s’also very close- owned by same people).
Big parking lot on the side. Daily specials for lunch and dinner- cheap eats menus for breakfast and lunch in addition to special- see window on way in for dailies and regular specials.
Smoking bar.
Lots of booths up front and the regular counter with stools- plus bigger dining room in back and another room in the very back for meetings and groups.
Tuesday nights from 7 to 9 pm is live music night. Pick-up jazz regulars and guests) play with singers and lots of audience participation.
They run coupons in the local hand-outs and charge gratuity on music nights (have to – too many people sit for hours enjoying the music!).
Family friendly- coloring sheets for kids and good kid menu.
Dishes I tried:
Prime Rib Dip Sandwich
Not thin sliced- it is a real steak. Comes with fries but I sub salad.
Prime Rib
Good old-fashioned cuts- good size portions
Chicken Salad
Depends on the waitress but usually pretty large portions- good mix
Tillamook Cheeseburger
one kids fave- juicy and big
2 cheese omlette
Excellent and filling

Good food
We go there several times a year. It’s close and clean and the food is good. They have a second place around 44th and Woodstock- slightly larger. Both serve fast- good staff- nice family fare. Not cheap but not too spendy.
Dishes I tried:
almond chicken
tender chicken – plenty of sauce
General Tso's Chicken
generous amount – good ingredients – tasty :)

Excellent food
A teeny bit spendy but they are happy to let people split dishes and are generous with portions. Excellent fresh tasty foods. Daily soups and specials- popular place. Closed Mon and Tue and they occasionally close randomly to take time off. Worth coming back for :)
Dishes I tried:
Turket Basil Salad
Lots of fresh fruit chunks surround a salad with large chunks of turkey and tasty dressing. Excellent!
Drat it- won’t let me fix the title typo :P

Libbies updated the menu. it has been a few years since they upped the prices so it was time- but while some are a reasonable amount- some things were really hiked.
The side bar is ‘The Golden nugget’ bar now.
