My sister and I came for breakfast and it was delicious. Also brought home some coconut cream pie that was amazing, will definitely be back!

The waitress was nice and that's about it. My breakfast guest, a veteran, was very disappointed in the 2 tiny pieces of ham and green pepper in his "deluxe hashbrowns", he took it up to the owner and I have never witnessed such disrespect and outright viciousness to a customer, in my life. My guest left his plate and walked out and she had the audacity to charge me for his uneaten food! I would not recommend this place, EVER!

Homestyle coooked lunches & breakfasts at the best sandwich shop in Forest City Iowa. Sally makes 8-10 pies every morning, Be sure to try her roast beef sandwich with gravy. It's a daily special. But order the pie with your meal, because here, the pies fly! Only Open weekdays!

Went with a friend for the first time recently. The food was good, however, the waitress was completely unprofessional and negative. From the moment we walked in to the moment we were finished with our meal and ready to leave, she constantly displayed a terrible attitude with very poor word choices. We were quite shocked that this lady was employed after what we were witnessing. I hope this place can find someone else who would better represent this locally owned restaurant. The waitress made the entire dining experience very uncomfortable for us and her behavior was very distracting. We even witnessed a customer get up and walk out before ordering any food! Also, the menu selection was pretty limited and on top of that, they were out of a few items which made the options even more limited than they already were. On the plus side, what we did order was good.

Trust me on this one. The ham is so small you need a DNA kit to find it. And DON'T UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES look like you might complain or it's Roller Derby time! I was glad to get out of there with my masculinity.

The lunch special was the BBQ beef sandwich and we had the peach pie - excellent and good value. Thank you.

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.

I visited this restaurant while out of town. The wait staff was great. The quality of the food was wonderful, served warm and tasted great. This is one of those smaller town gems that usually only the local community is aware of.

Excellent home made food at inexpensive prices. And friendly people, even to out-of-town visitors. Recommend the hot beef plate.

Pies are extremely expensive. Excellent but not worth $45 for 2 pies. (Chocolate cream & Fresh Strawberry). Maybe prices were a bit inflated due to the Winnebago Rally? Should have asked price before ordering.my mistake.

As a college kid away from home, these home cooked breakfasts are always the best meals of the day.

I stopped in for a piece of pie based on a recommendation from the Forest City Chamber of Commerce and was met with such kind women. Not only is the pie delicious, the people are amazing, too!

Sally's is one of the best restaurants you will ever eat at. All homemade food. She makes the most delicious pies you will ever have.
