Tina's Place

There aren't a lot of breakfast options in Iola, KS, but Tina's offers a great variety with friendly, fast service and fair prices - including lunch and dinner selections too.Unanimously, we all agreed the coffee was a rich, robust blend of wake me up goodness - not sure what it was, but it's a safe bet that Tina's isn't serving up the cheapest brand on the shelf.With breakfast on the agenda, we ordered several different meals between the four of us (omelets, biscuits and gravy, pancakes and the standard eggs and hashbrowns). All were prepared well and satisfied our hunger. The B&G was a clear winner with plenty of sausage mixed into a savory tasting gravy that smothered fresh, fluffy biscuits to perfection. Not a lot of places get biscuits and gravy right, but Tina's certainly knows how to add some country love to this Midwest favorite.If you're ever in Iola and want something better than breakfast at McDonald's, step up your game and experience a hometown, country diner. I assure you Tina's won't miss the mark.

Love this place. Staff is friendly. Good food. My only complaint is I wish they served breakfast past 11:00 am.

A really good little breakfast and lunch place. Friendly service and atmosphere. I got a couple of breakfast burritos with salsa and tobacco available. They came with egg, cheese and choice of meat - might have more inside but I covered in salsa and Tabasco! Good coffee. Playing Christmas music. Fast too.

Wonderful local diner for breakfast and lunch! The wait staff is always extremely nice, and the food is AMAZING! We went for breakfast once and LOVED it! We returned a few days later, and were sad that we had forgotten that their breakfast is only available until 11. We were pleasantly surprised when their lunch food was just as delicious as their breakfast! The catfish (on the a la carte menu) is soooo good!

"cook got slammed"It's a real shame our meal took so long. Maybe we shouldn't have come on busy buffet Friday and ordered from the menu, but when the buffet is literally canned corn, instant potatoes, and frozen fish, my two piece chicken dinner should not have taken 45 minutes.

Just happened to stop at Tina's Place today around noon - nothing special about the building to attract us other than a full parking lot, just happened to be hungry and it was there - What a great LUCKY stop - as we entered the place was quite busy with what was pretty obviously a local clientele, we were warmly greeted by the owner's daughter and told about service from menu and the buffet (only negative I can see is that they stop serving breakfast at 11:00 - I bet their breakfasts are great). We opted for buffet of very good fried chicken, fried catfish, lasagna, green beans, corn, cornbread, hamandbeans, mashed potatoes , white and brown gravy, and a nice salad bar. All very good; very reasonable prices, clean, comfortable, and very welcoming. Will be back whenever in area. I think the town is VERY fortunate that Tina and her tribe landed here - they know how to run a cafe!

My buddys favorite breakfast place his go to great food family ambiance just go dont second guess it
