(KOLN) - On the south side of the courthouse square in the Polk county seat, you’ll find the owner of a family diner who’s overcome obstacles to keep her restaurant dream alive.Andrea Blahak is the owner of Andrea’s Family Diner. She got interested in running a restaurant when she was 14 while working with her great aunt Karen in Columbus. She moved to Osceola about 21 years ago. In 2022 she opened a restaurant on the highway in town. Tragically, that diner burned down, and she then put what she had into a new location on the courthouse square. The building she’s in now used to be the location of the Osceola Tavern.Blahak is thankful to the town for supporting her business, and her effort to recover from the 2022 fire. “My children and the community have been tremendous,” Blahak said. “I couldn’t have done it without their support. It’s been an uphill battle, but we are still going. It’s been challenging to get people in the door, and getting people to realize we still offer everything that we did at our first location. Many people don’t realize that we brought the ice cream with us. We are able to offer ice cream, shakes, malts, and sundaes. We also have burgers, wraps, and salads on the menu. We have Noon specials like the hot beef sandwhich, and we have special nights like Wednesday is wing night. My son is also selling shirts with DTF transfers, and any proceeds above his own cost goes back into the restaurant, so he is helping me, too.”“We offer a warm environment, where people can gather and people can celebrate their loved ones,” Blahak said. “It’s just a nice place to come and sit, and meet up with old friends.” Blahak says her diner appreciates the coffee shop down the street called Gathering Grounds as well.“People come in here and bring their coffee drinks, and they will order breakfast,” Blahak said. “We kind of just look out for each other.”The hours of operation for Andrea’s Family Diner are: Mondays 6 am - 2 pm and 5 pm-9pm; Tuesdays 8 am - 2 pm and 5 pm-9 pm; Wednesdays 8 am-2 pm and 5 pm-9 pm; Thursdays 8 am-2 pm and 5 pm-9 pm; Fridays 8 am-2 pm and 5 pm-9 pm; Saturday 8 am-9 pm and Sunday 9 am-1 pm.
