It probably won't come as much of surprise to learn the decorating theme in Sue's Roost Country Cafe in Eustace is the rooster, and there are pictures of them everywhere. There is even a wall sculpture of a rooster made old automobile license plates over a corner booth. Sue's Roost waitresses note that the cafe is famous for its chicken fried steak, and they bill it as homemade cooking "like your grandma used to make."
