    Food was delicious but the biscuits you could tell were in the freezer or something before hand.

    Had the $4.99 special hamburger and fries and it by far a great deal plus being a great hamburger. Waitress was great. Wife had a turkey club sandwich and it was great also. Very good coleslaw, not too sweet or bitter like some

    Great local establishment that has great breakfasts. The staff has always been pleasant even when they are super busy. Their pancakes are amazing and their French toast even better. They have pizza as well and a salad bar. They also have a Sunday brunch buffet. Prices are reasonable. Right off the highway for easy on and off. Clean bathrooms.

    The Panel Room is from a time I feared America lost. It’s from a time where every small town had a local restaurant that was renowned for something - but actually good at everything. A family business, for families to enjoy. Where prices are maintained for years because owners down want people to think they are trying to get rich and they are getting by just fine (while giving more and more money to their staff so they can make it). Where the food is prepared fresh, from local small backyard gardens by the patrons of the restaurant. Where the server is your mom’s best friend, knows everyone, never stops moving, keeps your glass full, and knows your order soon as you walk in. (I admit, I love being called sweetheart too). A place that can be counted upon to be open is a snow storm, support the local kids baseball team, and have a jar at the front taking extra change for a person in need. I’ve traveled the world. Ate cold Army chow out of a bag to not starve, ate Michelin Star restaurant chow I couldn’t afford, and sat at my grandmothers table eating the finest food love could prepare. The Panel Room is one of my favorite places in America. Because it’s a Time Machine back to my childhood. A reminder of the values of a family and community that is exactly like my home 1000 miles away. This place is more than special. It’s exceptional. And don’t forget, the food is amazing. Thank you Panel Room. For keeping just a little bit of my American childhood alive. The food and service was the best I’ve ever had. Grandma would be proud.

    Really nothing but wonderful things to say about this place. The service is always lovely. The food is never disappointing. The prices are so reasonable and the portions are amazing. I truly have no complaints, ever. Their broasted chicken is incredible- literally everyone that I've ever brought here gets it and is beyond satisfied and is always asking to come back here when they visit. The chicken dinner deal on Wednesday is AMAZING. You forever have my heart Panel Room.

    We have not been to this little restaurant in over 7 years, but today the Panel Room still proves to be a great restaurant with delicious food, family atmosphere, and fantastic service. Our server, Abby did an amazing job waiting on our table. Thank you Abby for great service! The restaurant serves homestyle lunches, dinners, and breakfast. You also can't go wrong with their soup and salad bar. It's a small bar, with salad and the salad fixings, 2 soups, roasted chicken, mash potatoes, green beans, meat ball noodle casserole, and on this particular day, combined with a full breakfast bar. We were satisfied when we left and will return again. Thank you!
