Great place for breakfast food at a great value. We've had just about everything here and it's great. I usually get the omelettes - it's hard to go wrong there. Prices are good - it's hard to spend a lot here, and the coffee refills keep coming when...Read More

Wonderful breakfast and lunch focused diner. Staff was friendly and attentive. Enjoyed the Jalapeno Ranch burger with a side of onion rings. The burger was on the larger size and cooked well, messy but not impossible to eat.

Breakfast for lunch is a bonus, 2 non-menu requests were greeted with a smile and delivered spot-on. Simple stuff like jalepenos and cheddar on the grits really made this meal! Being in walking distance I will be back often.

Best breakfast bacon I have ever eaten. Portions are large and tasty, service is Midwest friendly with great coffee, refills galore and happy customers. Not a fancy place which is why we love it!
