If you've never been here before, tack on another 15 minutes to your Google estimate. It's off of Highway 394, west of 100, but getting here is a bit of a mystery. You literally have to drive through the parking lot of an adjacent restaurant to get to Good Day Cafe's parking. On the other hand, this place is always packed for lunch, so people obviously have found it.
I have mixed feelings about this place. The food is pretty good and it is a very pleasant place. If you happen to visit during the few weeks we call "Summer" they have a fantastic outside patio that I highly recommend despite that I would usually rather eat inside. It's really pleasant and seems removed from all traffic, despite the location of the restaurant.
We were last here for lunch, and although it was busy, we were seated quickly (it was about 11:30 am). I had my favorite here, the Charley Boone Hot Turkey Sandwich ($16.95), which comes with mashed potatoes, gravy, and a small cup of cranberry relish. I think this sandwich is a good example of my ambivalence. I love hot turkey sandwiches and this was a good one. The turkey was fresh and was obviously made from real turkey and the gravy was good. However, the mashed potatoes were like glue and were obviously overmixed to the point of hardly being editable. Also, $16.95 seems bit high to me, and when you add a pop, tax, and tip, it's hitting about $25 for a sandwich and a Coke.
My wife had the Huevos Rancheros ($14.75) and a smoothie. She said she enjoyed her meal, but it looked burnt to me. Our total (with tip) was $53 and change, which just seems high to me for a sandwich, breakfast item, and two drinks. This is a quibble, but why do they continue to use tablecloths that are literally threadbare (an issue at all tables)? This is kind of tacky and unprofessional.
I admit that my rating is lower than most, but I never am impressed enough with the food that I feel the prices are justified.
