Not too bad. Nice people. Kids loved the food. Pancakes were yummy. Sausage gravy and biscuits were ok. Gravy was not bad. It definitely wasn’t home made per say. But was hot and had sliced hash browns. Pancakes were nice thick and fluffy. My son’s omelette looked good. He ate most of it. The sausage was a little dry. But edible. Will definitely stop back. Hope the best for them.

We were just looking for some breakfast suggestions and this restaurant was suggested by several people on Facebook as somewhere close to us, friendly, and reasonably priced. It was a relaxed atmosphere and the food was hot and delicious. Definitely worth a try if you’re looking for something close by and other restaurants have a wait.

I have been here 4 or 5 times now. It is so cozy, the food is good, and the staff are nice and welcoming. It is so perfect when you just want a normal, relaxing breakfast. I love the small town vibes. 🩷

Let me just share this with the world. Today 10/28 we had a missing juvenile in our neighborhood. I reached out to this restaurant and they provided free coffee hot tea along with danish for the law enforcement along with the people searching. He was found, but there a lot of times that things like this happen and go unnoticed. So thank you for helping this morning.

Hidden local gem! It's small, but the food was good (pretty average, but awesome for the price) and the people were very friendly. The price was fair too. They even made my kids pancakes into a Mickey Mouse shape. They had icecream there too, but we didn't try it. They had sausage patties and links which might matter if you have picky eaters with you. My husband said they served whole milk rather than a low fat milk. I highly recommend giving this place a try!

Just ordered on DoorDash and everything was amazing! The food arrived hot and perfectly packed. The biscuits and gravy were hands down my favorite—so flavorful and comforting. Highly recommend and will definitely be ordering again!
