Had a lovely breakfast here. A really nice greasy spoon cafe. Id recommend the biscuits and gravy if they’re serving if. I’d be a regular here if I lived nearby.

Best old school type of cafe ever. I chose to check this place out based on the fact they seemed to be known for their biscuits and gravy among the locals and didn't disappoint. Their biscuits are perfect and I just loved their hashbrowns...Read More
