It may sound a bit odd, but this brightly lit petrol-station diner is one of the best places to eat in Coober Pedy! Roasts, pastas, burgers, lasagne, schnitzels and an awesome Greek-style lamb salad that's a bold departure from trucker norms. You can get a beer here too, if you're dry from the highway. Decent cabins out the back (single/double $99/119).
