We make our pies from scratch. Yum.

"Stayed the night in Mt. Pleasant, IA after a very long day of driving. Got up the next morning and, not knowing the town, resorted to searching on the internet for a place to go. Found this place. Now called Rome Lunch Box, but with the same menu as Mama's Back Porch. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner selections. We had breakfast. Mom and I got 2 slices French toast and two eggs, plus I got a side of bacon. Dad got 2 eggs and one pancake - he was going to order two, but the server warned him they're big - and they are, filling the whole plate! Food took awhile, due to a mixup in the kitchen, but when it came out, it was hot and perfectly made. Mom and I split the bacon, which was really good. And, we were both pleasantly surprised to find the French toast is made the old fashioned way - no cinnamon in the batter. We're not fans of cinnamon in that application, and were glad they leave it out. Nice gentleman named Scott was our server. Mom's coffee was hot, the sweet tea was made right, Dad's OJ was good. This place was a great find, and filled with locals. So glad we found it for our meal stop before our day of driving."
