Small. Quaint. Loud. Busy. Sunday late morning. Took a while to get seated but we were informed of the wait time. Waiter was friendly. Good variety of choices. Hard time deciding. Food was great. I’d eat here again. Bacon was fantastic !!

We were only in Lawrence overnight and managed to hit this place twice. We went in for breakfast, and it was delicious. Our server was attentive and personable. He suggested we come back for pie, which we did. Both the chocolate and cherry were amazing!

My wife and I have eaten here once a week since we moved to Lawrence. The waitstaff and owners are lovely, and the food never misses. If you want classic diner breakfasts, delicious sandwiches, or the best pie you’ve had, this is the place.

Saturday morning breakfast, food was great! The few complaints I see are about prices. I have no complaints when food is good. Also portions were good. We took home a piece of carrot cake. It was spectacular, service was also.
