Torch 85 Restaurant

What a dump, puts most holes in the wall on a pedestal. Not much to look at but biggest problem was sitting there for 10 minutes after our drinks were there while the 3 waitresses bs’d among them selves and with one table of locals. Don’t know about the food, I’d just say you’ll be lucky to get any!

I am a new truck driver, but have been around a time or two. And nothing, nothing, is better than a great diner experience.
Was this diner great. No. Was it good? eh… I’m stuck on fair to good, mostly fair. Don’t get me wrong, the coffee was good and they had homemade bisquits. But their omelette was fair at best, with processed ham slices in my Western style omelet.
And the price… eh…$ 12 for a coffee, entrée, hash browns, and bisquits plus tip. A fair price for a very good meal, if this was one. As much as I love hidden away diners…
I cannot recommend this as a must stop. It’s simply fair fare.

Best hamburger steak I’ve ever had! Lots of black pepper, smothered in *real* grilled onions, brown gravy and mushrooms. A side of fries okra topped it off.
One reviewer said this place should be on that TV show about diners and dives. Absolutely right! There is nothing fancy about this place and don’t look too closely at the floor, but if you want good comfort food, this is your place!

Gross! I will never spend another dime here. Food was beyond subpar and not prepared well. Waited 30 minutes with 2 other friends for take out. With all the great reviews I had to try, and figured it was worth the wait. Needless to say I tossed mine the same night and my friends half eaten meals are waiting to be thrown out of the fridge. They need a staff and decorative oberhaul!

Decent food for a quick right-​off-​the-​highway stop. Quite an extensive menu with burgers and sandwiches to taco salad and ribeye.
Cons? It didn’t appear super clean, but it may just be mostly outdated dinginess. The bathrooms were small, definitely not handicap accessible, and they were shared with the entire truck stop/​gas station.
Pros? Our waitress was great. Very personable, kept us updated on our food, gave us to-​go cup refills, and even ran out our son’s Lego that he left on the table.
The burgers were tasty though just a smidge overdone for my taste (I was worried they would be dried out since they looked a bit charred but they weren’t). The fries weren’t anything special. We had been excited about the deep fried Oreos on the menu as a treat for the kids but they were out.
Overall, three stars for a decent road trip stop. Nothing to write home about but not a place to avoid.

This place belongs on diners, drive inn’s and dives. Thursday is meatloaf. A huge portion with two sides. Best truck stop food ever

My husband and I have made torch 85 our Saturday morning breakfast goto! We love it! They serve breakfast all day, they are friendly and have great prices. We’ve also stopped there for dinner several times. Had a delicious grilled chicken sandwich last week and my husband had the Saturday special spaghetti! There are usually only a couple severs on hand, so if it’s really busy, you’ll wait a little bit. But it’s worth it! This is a must try for anyone in the area. And yes it’s in a truck stop!

Great home cooked meal, friendly service and a trip back into time, Best truck stop food you’ll ever eat!
