Idle-A-While

"Great home cooking! Have you ever tried the ribeye steak? Mmm... good..."

"Unbelievably good food. Perfect low-key vibe for a family lunch or a relaxed night out. Go eat here, then go see Big Brutus in nearby West Mineral!"

"We LOVE this place! The food is delicious and fresh! The owners are great! It’s made from scratch so sometimes you have to have a little bit of a wait, but it’s well worth it when you aren’t eating frozen premade food. Fried steak tips our are absolute favorite!"

"We had been here a few years before and Dan was very friendly and the food was awesome, some of the best we have ever had. On that visit we came in a group of 15 and there didn't seem to be any issues with it. Granted it was early and they were not busy yet. On July 8th 2022 we went again with a group of 5 other people so 7 in all. The place was busy but far from full. As soon as we all walked in we were met with very stern looks. The owner Dan from the beginning was extremely rude and his wife not any better with her eye rolling. We felt like we were a large intrusion. He told us it would be a 2 hour wait for food, that they didn't have a table big enough for 7 and we would have to pull chairs from other tables(1 was all we needed) and he was disappointed none of us were drinking alcohol that night. We told him we would wait and sat down, we knew it would be awhile but we were not in a hurry, we were not demanding any undo attention and yet when he brought the menus he tossed a stack on the table and very rudely asked if we wanted something to drink. We all ordered tea and after we got it we decided to drink it and leave as we were still being treated rudely. My son and his family may return here but I will never set foot in Idle-Awhile again. I don't need to be treated special I just like to be treated kindly and with a little respect and just to make clear our ticket would have probably been close to 200.00 if not over and our word of mouth testaments would have been phenomenal but.....guess he didn't want our business."
