Highland Center, in Southeast Iowa | Yep, and if you're from the correct part of southeast Iowa, it comes down to a battle between MaidRites and Canteens. The Canteen is a tiny, tiny little diner in an alley in Ottumwa. There are about 14 stools at a lunch counter there, and all they serve is the sandwiches, soft drinks, and homemade pie. Natives that have moved away and come back to visit will stop in for a Canteen before they go see their Grandma. |
