★★★★★ 5.0 Evan Lapinski · Nov 2025

This place scores a lot of points with me and checks off a lot of boxes. It’s a little diner with a big breakfast. They serve the biggest biscuits you will find anywhere, and they are well known for them. This place is a favorite among the locals, and it’s easy to see why. Everything is made from scratch: The biscuits, gravy and nearly everything else. The bacon is delicious, with a powerful smoky flavor. Truly enjoyable! Some people have sheds bigger than this place, and that’s part of the atmosphere and charm. It has a homey comfortable feel about it. The place is usually very busy, so come early if you want a table. The coffee is hot, the food is fresh and the small town vibe is here in this little diner. It’s a gem in my book. I highly recommend!

Was not disappointed at all in the breakfast. Go hungry! Delicious food served in big helpings. Fair price and great service. I look forward to going back for the lunch menu.

Food is outstanding! Lee does a phenomenal job cooking amazing breakfast, definitely recommend the loaded hash! Our server was Caleigh, she was very attentive and did a great job!

I can't complain. We had 2 biscuits and gravy, 3 sweet teas, and 2 plates of pancakes, eggs and bacon. Costed us a total of 35.00. and a side of toast. Tastes pretty good

Awesome, small town diner with great service. The food came out fast and tasty. The atmosphere is very inviting. We got the Loaded Hash & Biscuits and Gravy. Highly recommend both!
