Eatin' at the Lincolnway Cafe in Franklin Grove, Illinois-- Part 1

We schedule trips out that way according to being able to make a stop at this, one of our favorite places to eat along the Lincoln Highway.

Judging from how many folks came in, it is a popular spot for locals as well (also because there are many or any other places in town to eat).

We sat at the at one of the round booths by the window. A nice view of the Lincoln Highway National Headquarters and that big sign, but I don't suggest doing this in the winter as you get a blast of cold air every time the many, many folks come in.

The folks working there wear the Lincoln Highway shirts and there is a mural of downtown Franklin Grove back in the day (taken from a photograph). Then there is the whole Lincoln Highway shown on a map stretching half way across one wall. No doubt that this is a place proud of its heritage.

The first couple times in town, the place was not in business, but the last several years it has been open (but I think I remember seeing it closes around 3 pm Mon-Wednesday, so check it out ahead of time).

More to Come. --RoadDog
