Greenfield

Last weekend we ventured out to camp near Greenfield. The town is probably a few thousand in size. A very nice little place, it has a Fareway and several eateries, as well as a Pamida. We ended up eating at the local Nodaway Diner a few times. The menu is a little pricey for basic, down-home diner food, and it wasn't anything fabulous, but it was good enough to keep us fed. They were hesitant to help us out when we noticed there wasn't a whole lot on the menu for my vegetarian mother-in-law.  We asked if we could have a grilled cheese sandwich (which wasn't on the menu, and I found that odd, I guess), and they made a bit of a huff but relented after I made a few arguments. Apparently we should have just ordered a cheeseburger without the meat. It also took forever for them to get our food out at that visit, which was during the lunch rush hour, but the order was easy (burgers, fries) and most tables, nearly 7, that got there after us, were served their meals before us, no matter what size party was at them. Apparently grilled cheese is a terribly difficult thing to make.
One of the other places we stopped was the Tiger Inn. It was mostly an ice cream joint, but with your standard fried food available, as well. We didn't eat a meal there, but got ice cream there a couple times. The ice cream was good, though they didn't have any mint concoctions (Asher's favorites).
The other place we grabbed a meal was at the Old Restaurant and Hotel. It wasn't too bad. The menu was rather large, and the food seemed pretty good, though Asher was being a handful, so we spent half the meal in the car.
I definitely think we'll be back, if for no other reason than the swap meet that drew us there is the first place. The garage sales were plentiful and well priced, for the most part, so I did well in entertaining myself. There was a Subway in town, as well, which we may use next time. A fresher meal would have been nice. Diner food can get heavy.
