Been going for years. It's my favorite breakfast joint EVER! it is cash only, I really wish they would get card readers as it's 2025.

What a nice, friendly, family restaurant. We stopped in for breakfast while waiting for an appointment. Food was fast and excellent. We will definitely be back.

First time here. This place was hopping! There is plenty of parking around the resturant. Our waitress, Jamie was very friendly and accommodating. Our food was on par with other breakfast places. We would visit again if in the area.

In town for business so we are unfamiliar with the area. This was the closest place to our hotel and we were very happy with our discovery. Very cute little family owned place with good food and service. I had coffee poured before I could even pull off my hat. Hubby got steak and eggs with crispy hash browns and they were very tasty. I had a craving for French toast and eggs which is not usually a combination but the waitress helped me out. I had the 'Fancy Strawberry French Toast'. It is actually made with strawberry bread kinda like banana bread so it's a denser bread than I expected but it was very tasty. I was only able to east 1 of the 2 pc ordered. (A cream cheese drizzle would have made this even more fancy and yummy). Thanks for a great meal. Fyi it's a cash only place (our favorite place back home is the same way, I only mention it so you know to have cash. I did sport an ATM in the lobby.

This place has always been on point. The staff is always upbeat. The menu has something for everyone. Our favorites, the white chicken chili and crab Benedict In case you happen to miss the strategically placed signs on the wall, and trust me, you would have to be blind.....they only take cash and check.

Homemade sausage gravy and homemade ranch. Everything is delicious, and it is reasonably priced, too! It was our 1st time and we will be returning! It was a spur of the moment choice.

Great service, we were seated quickly. Ordered a bacon and cheese omelet and a bacon mushroom and swiss quiche. They were both very good and very filling. The ambiance was casual and cozy. Remember that they are a cash only location.

Exactly what I look for in a breakfast spot. Opens 6am, delicious food that's the right amount of greasy delicious without being obviously, or remotely, excessively unhealthy, and, the absolute best waitress I think I've ever had. Prompt coffee, asked if I was ready to order and brought out the most perfectly cooked over hard fried eggs I've ever had in about the amount of time it takes to cook an egg. 5000/5 stars, my wife and I want to move to the area and this is another mark in the 'pros' column.
