★★★★★ 5.0 Amber Lyons · Jul 2024

This has quickly become our favorite breakfast restaurant. Last weekend we went for lunch and it was just as good as breakfast. I had the chef salad with chicken salad, hubby had the fajita taco salad. We'll definitely go back many more times this summer.

★★★★★ 5.0 MARIA Salvo Benson · Dec 2025

A fantastic family pancake house. The food offers diversity in the menu and is well prepared. Suggestion, a little more space around some of the tables to walk. They have a wonderful buffet with great options. The service was attentive but not overerly hoovering.

★★★★★ 5.0 Ryan Everett · Jan 2026

Awesome place to eat. Buffet can be hit or miss sometimes, but overall awesome food, incredible service and staff. Can't go wrong here.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Kieran Rose · May 2025

I have never in all of my travels, and in living in states where they are notorious for their Mexican food like Southern California and New Mexico, seen such a thing as a chile rellano covered in SCRAMBLED Eggs instead of batter. On the menu it simply says chile rellano, not chile rellano covered in eggs. It’s disgusting. Second time I’ve been duped by this restaurant. First time I ordered a chicken salad sandwich on a croissant, and it was hot chicken salad, made like a tuna melt, and again, no such description on their menu to indicate it was a HOT melt. Everything they have served me has been a HOT MESS. Absolutely disgusted with their misleading (at best) menu.
