Trivia: We ate at the same restaurant for our entire stay; breakfast, lunch and dinner. In all my years travelling the US I have to say that the Country Junction in Dyersville is one of the best places I have found to eat out on the road. The Sunday Family Style Breakfast is spectacular. Well worth a trip, with all you can eat brought right to your table for $ 8.25.
