★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Bunnah · Jan 2026

The best thing we can say is "at least they can't screw up a waffle". Came in for breakfast with my husband. I ordered the 2x2x2 and ate my eggs.... the sausage tasted like it was microwaved in water and the biscuits and gravy was gross. The biscuits were flat and seemed like that were slider buns under flour and milk. I ate half a biscuit. The waitress, who was wearing an ear bud while talking to us and taking our order, never came back to our table to see how the food was. Once my husband had finished eating his lackluster eggs and waffle with a side of GROSS coffee, I stacked my egg plate on top of the gravy and biscuits with the meat still only with a bite out of it. The servi server came over and took the plates without even asking how it was or why 90% of my food was still on the pl

Sadly this used to be my favorite place in town. However the food quality vs price don't match up anymore. The fish n chips sent out with no tartar sauce on a to-go order was disappointing to me. The fries were not as hot and crisp as they used to be and the ranch was still good at least. We used to be asked if we wanted to order a drink while we waited or played machines but not the last few times we had been there.

A favorite with the locals. Most were known well by the staff and must be regulars. Great food, friendly and attentive staff. Decor is a bit dated, but not a big deal to me.

6 There for breakfast. All of us had similar but different meals. All said their choices were very good to great including eggs benedict, biscuits and gravy, eggs over, ham n bacon as well as the toast n biscuits. Will easily go back. Place decorated well. Clean. Nice mural on wall. Bathrooms very clean even.

Server could've been more focused on her job an check8ng on her tables for drink refills or just seen if customer's needed anything 🤔
