What a great place for breakfast, and guess what – you can get up late and still have Pancakes, Eggs, an Omelet, a Waffle, because Keystone Grill serves breakfast and lunch all day! The lunch menu offers Burgers, Sandwiches, BBQ, Salads, Hot Dogs, Ribs, Chicken & more. They have milkshakes and ice cream cones too. Be sure that you take a photo in front of the LOVE sign out front and when you come in take a selfie with Big Boy too. It is all fun, and delicious.

If you have not toured the Keystone Antique Truck & Tractor Museum, it opens at 10 so schedule your breakfast or lunch so that you can see the hundreds (not an exaggeration) of tractors, trucks, incredible classic cars and so much more. When you are dining, you can look in and see a small portion of the museum collection and you will not believe it until you see it all.
