Excellent Breakfast! Great food, good service, good value. It was a busy Saturday, and there was a line out the door with a 20 minute wait for a table of five. Our first time here we had the biscuits and gravy, corned beef hash, portabelo and Swiss omelette, and a pancake with bananas and chocolate chips. The biscuits and gravy full order covered the whole large plate. The gravy was very good and the biscuits were just right, homemade I believe. The omelette was just ok nothing special. But the cinnamon roll… it was huge and delicious! That alone is worth the wait. The pancake was also the size of the plate and it was thick and fluffy.

Came in Sunday morning to a very crowded restaurant but luckily there was one table for us. The menu is pretty extensive and I love the fact you can order one piece of french toast, which I did.

This is a great little dinner in a cozy little town. We ate breakfast and all of our food was great. Pretty fast service and even better food. The staff was very pleasant and seemed to know everyone. Probably the small town affect, but felt nice.

My wife loved the Iron Skillet. I had the biscuits and gravy, so good. The biscuit was huge and the gravy plentiful. Our waitress was fun and helpful. That homemade cinnamon toast was delicious. Most definitely, we will stop by any time we're in the area.

I would eat here more often if I lived closer. Small diner. Decent coffee. Endless refills. Pleasant staff. Quality food. Makes for a good small town hang out.
