Stopped in on the way back from the Nebraska Star Party, Was actually busy when I was there, about 9 people. Talked to Elsie a bit and an older gentleman named Alan, burger was good. A unique place for sure, stop in and say hello! Update: Stopped back in next year, got my T-shirt, had lunch and talked to Elsie a bit more, about traveling to Europe but how Monowi is her home, was a great conversation. Also don’t forget to sign the guest book and look at the past entries!

A great experience, good food. Definitely a must if you’re on a road trip.

I 've just heard about this place on YouTube. The smallest town in USA . Cool. Saludos desde la CDMX, México.
