Experience Through Their Eyes

Always a delight eating here. Went the other day and ordered my baby a pancake. It came out as a cute Mickey face! I had the chicken biscuits and gravy. Husband got Monte Cristo with balsamic glaze. He enjoyed every bite! Always cheap, friendly, and delicious I usually take photos of everything but I was too hungry

AMAZING.. that's the only word that can describe the food and service I received. The food was absolutely cooked to perfection best country steak I have ever eaten with a pancake cooked just or my grandmother cooked them fluffy with a nice texture around the edges all the food was well seasoned and balanced with a great amount of portions on your plate. Sheila was our waitress and she was so kind and attentive to her customers never once did our cups get empty.... Well done at this location and I will definitely be returning next time I'm in this area.

Food was wonderful. Service was great. No complaints. Very cozy place and very busy. Food comes out quickly and delicious. Reason for 4 on atmosphere...very loud. Small place, so that's to be expected.

Don't even waste your time reading this, go now and get in line to eat!! You will not be sorry! I am so sorry we didn't start going here years ago when they opened, I feel robbed to have lost time with them! Ok, so it is just a breakfast spot and a few lunch items during the week. Breakfast/brunch is all the rage and most of the nicer chain restaurants that specialize in this are pretty expensive. Not only is this place fantastic, it is priced so fairly that I'm scared to even say it in this review because they may decide to raise their prices... But I'll be back even if they do! Since we had never been and because, why not... We ordered a little of everything to give it a try. My wife loves eggs Benedict, and she approves of theirs after eating it on Saturday morning! We also tried a pecan Belgian waffle, French toast, scrambled eggs with sausage patties, and hash brown casserole. Not to mention a couple slices of sourdough toast just to give it a try. Again, we ordered a lot of food and all of it was excellent breakfast fare! We are already planning our return visit this coming Saturday! We're gonna stick with the French toast, eggs, Benedict, and I think I'm going to go for one of the chimichanga breakfast things! It's a small restaurant and very tight seats, however, they turn the tables over quickly and everyone was in a good mood. They told us our wait was going to be about 20 minutes at 9:30 on Saturday morning and it ended up being more like 30 minutes, but that's OK. Oh! Our server was a lady named Savannah and she did an excellent job and we thoroughly appreciated her good service! Run don't walk! To those about to nosh, I salute you!
