The future for Coal Center stopped in to say howdy for a minute then skipped town just after WW2 when the mine closed. I'm speaking strictly of the town itself, the CC zip covers a wide area of mostly run down patch towns and a lot of country.
If you're talking about Lagerheads, their food is actually pretty decent.

(As a side note, when i was there I suggested they keep a loggerhead (pronounced same as the bar name) on their fire & serve 'flip' which could be popular with their college crowd involving lots of fire, smoke & such but they had never heard of such a thing.)

Lagerheads, yes. Food is fine and the atmosphere acceptable. Certainly worth a stop if you're in the area.
