Only waited a few minutes to get seated for breakfast. I love the taste and texture of the pancakes. 🥞 Real good. I ordered the spinach and feta omelet. Pretty good except I wish the feta was inside the omelet instead on top. Seemed kinda flat instead of fluffy. Texas toast was real good. 👍I had to ask for any preserves or jam. Recommend the American fries. Our waitress was nice and she came by numerous times to see if we needed anything. We will definitely go back.

Came here for breakfast and got the ribeye breakfast. Ribeye tasted alright. I was extremely impressed with my lightly done hashbrowns/toast since most places burn them. Server was good. Prices seemed reasonable

This place had everything right..I had a House Omelet with Gyro meat, tomato, onions, and Feta.. I topped it all with Sausage Gravy. With American Fries and a pancake it was way more then I needed and I left enough to feed another person !! LOL. All these tasted great. The decor and fixtures are dated if that will detract from your enjoyment, but that is the only non-A+. Friendly, accurate servers, reasonable prices. Enjoy !!

Ordered take out. 2 Pancakes and a cup of soup costs over $19. The soup was vegetable beef and there was not one piece of beef in the soup. Pancakes were mediocre at best. The people were nice and the place was clean but not great on the food.

We seated ourselves for an excellent breakfast on a Tuesday morning after camping nearby. The server greeted us and took our drink order right away. She delivered our food just as efficiently and with the same genuine friendliness. We all got two delicious meals from our order, which was priced just right!
