Great food and great service! Get there early! The restaurant is a bit small but the wait is definitely worth it. The menu has great breakfast options. This place is also good for groups as well. This restaurant is a hidden gem of Inglewood.

This is a nice find. A quick and tasty breakfast. Reminded me of the better breakfast restaurants in Alabama. The family had Belgian waffles and I had the Bully Omelette with potatoes. I think we enjoyed everything we had

Nice, Clean, Quaint and Delicious! The only thing that I could suggest is to expand the restaurant or open a second location for the lunch crowd.
