★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Linda Vernon · Aug 2025

The waitress is a shining light that can not overcome how awful our breakfast was. I will never go back. The hashbrowns were a scant amount and tasted liked they were cooked in old grease..my omelet had zero flavor with some kind of cheese that refused to melt.. inside or out.. even the butter on the toast had still not melted when I finished eating. I'm not sure of the brand of bacon but it's a hard no as well. I truly can't believe just how bad it was.. Good luck

It's a small town diner, not much to tell. Service is hit or miss cause it changes but mostly great service. The food is also hit or miss depending on the cook and how often it changes. The atmosphere is nice, I like the small town feel but they have a couple of booths that definitely need replacing as the backs are broken and lean waaay back, only way to stabilize is if someone is sitting on the other size and then its a battle between you and them..lol But overall we love it and it's our breakfast spot on the available weekends that we have.

Very attentive wait staff, friendly to a stranger. Coffee in a big ceramic mug, always ready to refill. Be prepared for enormous pancakes. Fluffy and a little sweet. Decor was a bit rustic but this ain’t the big city.

My first time eating there, and it did not disappoint! I had the boarder omelette w/hash-browns and it was delicious! My husband had the biscuits and sausage gravy he said it was delicious as well!

Only go in if look local i guess. Just went in and not even looked at. After 2 people came in and got menus and 1 got drinks, had to leave. Wanted to try them but no one even came over to us.
