I got the hash browns (cooked just right 🥔) with ham, onions, and green pepper mixed in, and I asked to switch the cheese from American to Cheddar. You get an egg on top, and she cooked it over medium PERFECTLY! It is very rare that I get an over medium egg without the slimy uncooked egg still sitting next to the yolk, but that's what you get with good DOWN HOME COOKING. And the best part was, it was prepared when we ordered it. Also, the strawberry pie WAS TO DIE FOR!!!

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ HOMEMADE PIE 🥧!!!! Visited along Ragbrai for breakfast. Sweetest ladies of town giving everyone friendly & quick service. Gem of a small town diner spot. 💵 cash only.

Sally’s is a must when you come to Forest City! Nothing fancy, here. It’s a storefront diner with down home food. She serves breakfast and lunch, most days. But check before you go to be sure she’s open. I had the bacon cheeseburger (added tomato and lettuce), along with hot French fries. My wife had the grilled chicken breast with a side of egg salad. It was all cooked fresh, served hot, and absolutely delicious. We topped off the meal with pies and freshly made decaf coffee. I had the strawberry and my wife had the coconut. She makes all her own pies. Definitely TRY THE PIE! Highly recommended. Bring cash. I’ll try to add updated photos.

This is a very friendly Hometown Family Restaurant with great food and excellent service. The waitress was very nice and the Hot Beef Sandwich special was delicious.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Randy · Oct 2024

Service was poor to say the least. They served decaf and argued with us when we said we wanted regular coffee. Then I was served the crust of the bread with my breakfast. When I ask the waitress I was told “o well”. The food quality was just as bad as the service. Do not come to Sally’s.
