Why go: After 44 years, this long-standing local restaurant will be closing its doors. Bring in the family for your last time to dine with the big Buggy bear and to enjoy menu favorites including Marty salad, Boop's smothered chicken, Buckboard sandwiches, homemade bean soup, or cheese bread made only the way Family Buggy can make it. Children enjoy that green jello, the little hot fudge sundaes, and the plastic toys that come with their meals. Browse the general store on your way out and pick up a little momento. The restaurant has been a family favorite for over four decades, and it is unfortunately time to say good-bye to the Payne family and all the memories and joy they have created and shared with so many people in the area.
