Adding a review to let folks know it is still open. Plain old local restaurant type food, breakfast is better than lunch. Service, food, cost are all purely average. View of the airfield and tiedowns are close. Be aware that Minden is a world class glider destination, so be prepared to go around several times for gliders in the pattern.
