Small, cozy place for a tasty breakfast or lunch. I love their bacon, egg and tomato on toast, while my husband gets their BLT. Both are excellent.

Set your watch back 40 years and come on down. The food is fairy average but the service and nostalgic atmosphere is excellent. One of the few places in town to sit and have a hot breakfast. A great place to bring your grandparents.

1st time there, BUT it definitely won't be our last. We live 45 minutes away so we do wish that they were open for supper. I got hot dogs with chili & slaw, both homemade. Wife got a cheeseburger, huge and hand pattied. I saw a hamburger steak on someone else's plate. It was massive.

This place was highly recommended so we went for breakfast. We pulled up and just sat there for a minute. It doesn't look very nice from the outside and we weren't sure if we wanted to go in. But we did...and we're glad we did! The service is outstanding and the food always comes out hot, unlike most places! The biscuits are the best I've ever had. I could just have those for breakfast and I'd be happy! Now I'm the one who highly recommends it!
