Tractor or Agricultural-Themed Restaurants

I happened to be in Ann Arbor, Michigan over the weekend and came across a Blue Tractor restaurant and was wondering if other folks have seen any other tractor joints or restaurants with farm themes around. I had heard of a place where all the seats are old steel and iron tractor seats.

The Iowa Machine Shed restaurants in Des Moines and Davenport have farm themes. The food is also good, and they bring you lots of it.
 
In Park Rapids, MN there is a place called the West Forty. It is centered around an agricultural theme. They even have a Fordson tractor in one corner of the restaurant. Great food too.
 
A restaurant in Hamburg, New Jersey was located in a former dairy barn. The silo served as the salad bar and the stanchion area was where the booths were. The cow yard had been built in and housed the main dining room. At one time, the Officers' Open Mess at Tobyhanna Depot was a converted dutch style cowbarn. There was a little way out of the way bar in Winterhaven, California that had old steel farm implement seats mounted on springs around the piano bar. Barry Heim played the piano there.
 
Do they wear anything under the bibs? Well,,,,this time of year, probably. But let's say in the summertime?
 
Bill, Bill, Bill............where is your mind? Not on the food, obviously. Your question reminds me of a scene in the movie, "Fried Green Tomatoes", which we watched on the TV over the weekend. It's a 'chick flick', but I enjoyed it........again. In the scene, the girls are given a large hand mirror to look at parts of their anatomy which they can't normally see.
 
YES! If you're ever on Tennessee 111,between Static and Byrdstown,the Farm House Restaurant. Mostly John Deere theme,but there are tractors out to the side for sale. I've even seen a couple of flatbed semi trailers sitting there loaded with salvage. The food is all homemade and out of this world. The hot bar is loaded with goodies. Not too far south out of Albany Kentucky. If you're ever within 50 miles of it,it's worth going out of your way for the hot bar alone.
 
Elma Washington has a place called the"Rusty Tractor"at the junction of US 12 and 8. Have an old Fordson, a Farmall and some rusty machiney outside. Country motif inside.Always busy.

Centralia, WA has the Country Cousin restraunt.Right off I-5. LOTS of antiques inside on the walls and above the booths. Rooster crows when the front door opens. Good food too.

But my favorite was Martha's Truckstop in George Washington. Not a real ornate place but what a great name!! Closed now sorry to say.
 
I wonder how many here have ever eaten fried green tomatoes. My Mom used to do them when I was a kid. I loved all vegetables and these were alright but they couldn"t hold a candle to fried yellow squash.
 
Monkeys like to do that, too. Especially blonde monkeys. One thing I did learn from watching monkeys. How to "open" a banana. People, even people with PhDs, maybe especially with PhDs, will always go to the stem (handle) end and try to strip the peel off from that end. Not monkeys. They start by squeezing the other end gently and then pull the peels down each side. It's much easier, smoother and cleaner and then you have the "handle" to hold it by while eating.
 
Coleman"s 9n about 30 miles west of Portland on Highway 6 (road to Tillamoook) serves up good home cooking. Decore includes a nicely restored 9n inside the restaurant.
 
lived in texas most of my life, noticed there are a lot more resturants outside of Texas with a Texas name than in.
 
Former boss took me to lunch at Our Best, a restaurant carved out of the old Smithfield Milling Company grain mill. It was some of the best country cookin' I've ever had, and the old mill was carefully woven into the restaurant's floor plan and design.

Never been to any of the "new" satellite locations, but I enjoyed both the food [VERY ample portions!] and the authentic country atmosphere of the original location.
Our Best
 
In Crandell, TX, about 30-35 miles SE of Dallas on Hwy 175, there is the Crandall Cotton Gin restaurant. It"s an old cotton gin that has had all the lower machinery removed, but the overhead line shaft, etc. still remains. The walls & ceiling have been insulated and a/c & heating installed. It"s certainly a different theme. They serve good food too.
 
Tractor's Restaurant in Perryville, MO. Good food, Reasonable prices and tractor parts, pictures and toy tractor decorating the walls
 
Earl's Drive-In - "Home of the Original Fruit Jar Drinkers", Yorkshire, NY. More of a country-and-western theme, but I think Earl likes his tractors (and combines). Pictures of them on the wall. Kind of a little 'museum' for country music. Fairly famous around these parts. Good food.
 
I was in the Kansas City area for Thanksgiving, and suggested we breakfast at the Machine Shed before returning home that Sunday. My daughter sadly informed me that the "Shed" in Olathe Ks. had closed. Bummer!
 
Jeez, this was great topic! Since I've gotten older I love good food and like to look at girls in bibs although I can't remember why.:-> I don't have any place I can add except Young's Jersey resteraunt which features a DC Case and Oliver 77 in the parking lot with putt-putt and a long waiting list. rrlund where's Albany Ky.? I think I can do that on a nice Harley ride to there from from SW Ohio in a day or a short weekend.CT
 
Steer Barn restaurant. Upper Sandusky Ohio, Wyandot county.
Big old red barn turned into a real nice restaurant, Mail Pouch ad painted on the side. Old windmill and hay rake in the center of the parking lot. GOOD steaks and more.
 
Food there is OK, but I like the log
cabin a mile west better. just no tractor there.
Cousins at The Dalles on I-84 had a JD, but I don't remember which one.
Tim in OR
 
It's been so long I don't remember the name of it, but I was at one of the farm theme restaurant many years ago that used a shined up manure spreader for the salad bar. I don't care how well it had bee cleaned and sterilized, there ain't no way I am eating food off that thing. I filled one too many times.
