We stopped in during a road trip through Guttenberg and ended up staying for two hours. The food was incredible, and the staff made us feel right at home. This is exactly what roadside dining should be.
I've been coming to Rausch's for breakfast before my morning shift for years. Same great food, same friendly faces. It's the kind of place that makes a town feel like home.
The pancakes here changed my life. Okay, maybe not my whole life — but definitely my Saturday mornings. Fluffy, golden, and served with real maple syrup. That's all I'm saying.
