Ok, being big-time Barry White fans (wifey and I), I was thrilled to see this place for the first time over a year ago when I first started doing my Reno/Las Vegas run. Barry 'sings' a song where he mentions the \"Juke Joint\". As an aside, on Quincy Jones CD, he refers to it as \"Jook Joint\", but that's no matter.\n\nSo, I've been driving past this corner for a year and a half, and finally I decide it's time to dive in. Sign outside touts \"Steak and Eggs - $4.99\". That's a sign that's just calling my name. Not a lot of people here at 6:30am, so parking was not an issue for my tractor. When I walk in, I'm the only living soul to be seen. I wandered around checking the place out. Finally, a gentleman comes out and points me to \"anyplace I want\" to sit. He brings the menu and coffee. I order the steak and eggs special. Eggs over easy, rye toast, and country fries. \n\nI get my order fairly quickly. It's a plate-full. Now, ya gotta understand, at $4.99, you aren't getting a filet, a T-Bone, or even a rib eye. You're getting a slab of meat that's grilled the way you order (med-rare for me), and the accompanying steak knife. You need this knife, cuz the meat is a bit on the tough side. But, as I said above, for $4.99, this is what you should expect to get. I was not disappointed, nor should you be if you go for the $4.99 steak and egg special. The eggs were prefect, and the two slices of rye toast were pre-buttered. The potatoes were done as I asked, and had some bell peppers and onions mixed in. Good stuff. \n\nThe nearby hotel I stay in has the usual morning breakfast, and I was just tired of the all-carb offering. I was after some protein. This filled the bill. I think I'll make this a regular every other week stop. \n\nSince I was the ONLY customer in the place for most of my visit, it was quiet as a tomb. When another gentleman came in, it was STILL this quiet. I'm sure later in the day, life picks up. I wish I could check this place out in the evening, but my job prevents it. Drat! I live in Reno, so my chances of stopping by in the evening are nil (unless they shut down Hwy 95 and I can't GET back to Reno).
