What an amazing and friendly cafe in Anita, IA. It must be the epicenter for Anita. The customers were even friendly. I searched for breakfast places, as I was driving on I-80, and Google Maps led me here. The irony is that I was in Iowa storm chasing, and I ate at a place called The Weather Vane. Please stop here on your travels. There's some local Jesse James history near-by too.
Was in need of a place to eat as we were heading back to WI. Wanted a hole in the wall type place since what's always advertised on the highway is the same plain Jane places. Came here and was NOT disappointed. Husband had the country skillet and I had the veggie (both with rye toast). One of the best skillets I have ever had. Filling and so well seasoned. Coffee was typical diner coffee but better than most so you'll be kept happy in my opinion. 10/10 recommend.
Anita, Iowa is hiding this gem and rightfully so.
Love the atmosphere, like time travel to a time when eating out was special.
Breakfast was amazing and the server should be cloned.
And did you see the size of that sausage patty!!
Well worth the short jaunt off I-80.
I seriously can’t rate this place higher. Weather Vane has been a regular stop for our family for years. Low prices, with a truly old fashioned quality of food you will not find at any chain restaurant, anywhere. Definitely worth the trip off the interstate for breakfast if you’re passing through, it feels like you’re stepping back into grandma’s kitchen.
A wonderful and fun breakfast destination. You will not be disappointed with the options or the menu or the friendly service. An amazing small town diner that shouldn't be missed. The hash browns were particularly delicious with crispy outsides and pillowy middles.
Food was excellent!! Portions were good sized. The staff and even the customers were very warm and genuine. If your passing through, I suggest stop here for a bite to eat!!
Very cozy breakfast place in Anita downtown. The coffee was delicious, the server very friendly and all the customers seem to know each other (small-town). Totally worth the drive from the road!
Hidden gem well worth the side trip from I-80. Lots of breakfast choices!
