Country Market Restaurant and Buffet, Willard Bay, UT
We leave Ogden in the dark. The moon is full and beautiful. As we are driving north I catch signt of the moon gleaming on the Great Salt Lake and realize that it is only the second glimpse I have had of that great body of water. So we decide to stop somewhere for breakfast. Then by the time we have finished it will be light enough to have a better look at the lake.
We pulled into a gas station which had a restaurant. It was little more than a truck stop. Tom got a newspaper and realized two things - it was 50 cents more expensive than yesterday but, worse, it was yesterday’s paper!
The inside was not too bad but the server was not at all friendly. There was a buffet but you could also order from a menu, which is what we did. I ordered oatmeal ($2.39) and fruit ($2.29), Tom ordered French toast with sausage ($5.98) and, of course, coffee ($1.49).
There was only a ten minute wait for the food. While we waited I took stock of the place. It was large and clean with booths round the outside and with tables and chairs in the middle. The buffet selection doesn’t look too bad at all. There are not many other customers.
Attached to the wall at the end of each booth is a phone. I guess it is for the truckers to use. Up on the wall is a televevision tuned into Fox News. There were some pictures on the wall but few and far between.
Not too impressed with the oatmeal because it did not have a lot of taste. It think it was instant. Plenty of fruit though, two types of melon and grapes.
The restroom was big and bright but there was no ornamentation at all. One point in its favor, the stalls had solid doors with no gaps down the side.
After a very bland meal, it was time to go and check out the lake.
