This is an amazing little restaurant. We grew up in Iowa and now live in Minnesota. Maid-Rites remind us of our childhood. We couldn't pass on by! The place is clean and decorated like a 50's diner. Really cute. The food was delicious! My husband had the Maid-Rite and i had the tenderloin sandwich. (Another childhood fav.) Our waitress was really friendly. Don't miss out on this gem!
