"Sabe aquele história de um EXCELENTE restaurante em beira de estrada? Ele existe e chama-se PALO SECO. A comida é bem servida, estilo prato de caminhoneiro, mas não é barata... o reataurante de eatrada ganhou fama e muita gente já o tem como destino... O buffet de salada é bem servido com boas variedades, o forte da casa é a entranha... sobremesa não precisa...."
