Testimonials

On 3/23/2026 Lynnette H. had this to say:
What went well?? EVERYTHING!! I've been in town to see my daughter for a little over a month. Everyday my daughter wants to come here for breakfast!! I have had the bacon, scrambled eggs with cheese, sausage links, French toast, pancakes, oatmeal with brown sugar and cream, the BBQ Burger, potato soup (better than my mom's), and iced tea. Everything is absolutely delicious!! Not one complaint!! The waitresses are so friendly, the bus boys are so polite and their hair cuts are amazing by the way! The service is so quick and the food is always fresh and delicious. It's hard to even decide what to order!! Thanks to the owner, the cooks, the waitresses, servers, hostesses, and bus boys!! This is exactly how things should be!!

The Monte Cristo was very tasty

On 3/9/2026 Danny Scotten had this to say:
Kierstin, my server, was fantastic and provided great service! I stopped in while I was in the area for work and felt welcome the moment I walked through the door. The entire place was spotless and well kept, which always makes a great first impression. It was honestly tough to decide because everything on the menu sounded fresh and appealing, but I behaved myself and went with a salad. It was excellent—fresh ingredients and really well prepared. I’ll definitely be back. Next time I plan to get here earlier because the breakfast plates I saw coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. If the rest of the menu is anything like what I had today, I know I won’t be disappointed.

(Translated by Google) Tables were spotless, the two kids worked incredibly well, the food was amazing, and the waiters were fantastic. Although I was served by a Mexican guy with a mustache, I think his name was Mario—he was incredible, the best waiter, to be honest. (Original) Mesas demasiado limpias los dos niños trabajan demasiado bien comida increíble meseros buenisimos aunque me atendio un mexicano con bigote creo que se llamaba Mario increíble el mejor mesero para ser sincero
