A diner that takes you into another dimension. I came from Italy to visit the bridges of Madison County to relive the wonderful film by Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep. Then I visited the John Wayne Museum. I ended my trip in the best way at the Jones Family Diner. It felt like stepping into history. Great food and a family atmosphere at an excellent price. Highly recommended.

Definitely off the beaten path(not too far), but cool all the same. I loved the attitude of the place. Food was excellent, I had the Everything Burger, the flavor was off the chain, a blend of beef and pork belly. Seasoned just this side of salty. My man had the Sloppy Joe cheese steak. Both were on special. But let me tell you about the cheesy potatoes. Smooth and creamy, I should have asked for the recipe.. but who wants to ruin the mystery?! Go visit. They would love to have you. Thanks so much for the simple joy. And great service.
