In what may seem like the  middle of nowhere, off 104 in Mt Pleasant Mills, is a fantastic little cafe full of historic memorabilia.  It's one of our favorite places to eat, and it's well worth the drive.

In 1931, this building was erected as the Landis Texaco Station, owned by Lester Landis.  After his death, his son Ardell ran the service station for 23 years. The Texaco closed in 1980, and stood empty for nearly 20 years.


The Original red Sky Chief gas pumps from the Texaco station still stand outside the building today.


In 1996, Gary and Kenny Pyle, grandsons of Lester Landis, purchased the site.  Several small businesses came and went, including a hardware store and a candy shop,  before Bob Barner began to rent the building in 2000.


 It's basic food. Hamburgs, french fries (vinegar is on the table) onion rings, pulled pork..  there's a pretty good, but basic, variety of options, including a bison burger. See their menu, on their website, here - http://www.cruiserscafe.blogspot.com/p/cruisers-cafe-menu.html


We stop here every time we are in the area, and the food has always been good!


And they have blue birch beer, on tap, as well as handcut fries and  teaberry milkshakes,  Which makes them pretty much perfect.  :-)  


The only real catch is that the inside is small, and this place is pretty popular.  In the summer there are outdoor tables, but in the winter months, it can be pretty crowded inside.  They have a nice old fashioned soda counter style bar inside.

There's a lot to see outside too!
