★★★★★ 5.0 Bobby Saunders · Dec 2025

The food is a wonderful as it looks, be mindful of serving sizes - as Tasha cautioned us. That's a pro move - make sure people know what they're getting into. Tasha sealed the deal on first impressions, we'll be back!

Great place for breakfast or lunch. Even when super busy on Mother's Day, we were seated and served with a minimal wait. The food was great; I tried 3 dishes. My Reuben sandwich had very lean, soft cuts of meat. I also tried the veggie sandwich, which I will definitely order next time....really good. My son's pancakes were above par as well. Our server was quick and friendly. I recommend!

Omg was this good! Biscuits and gravy were delicious, gravy had great flavor. The pancakes are large and fluffy. The specialty breakfast burrito was so good. We ordered the special French toast to share which was a banana bread pudding French toast topped with a Cream cheese icing, drizzle and fresh berries as well as whipped cream and man was that delicious! Service was great and staff very friendly!

We had a great breakfast at the original word of mouth. The service was super friendly, our uber driver Tom recommended the spot and it did not disappoint. Had an old diner feel with the stools around the counter. My omelette was fantastic the gravy on top was definitely homemade and had lots of sausage chunks. The word fries are awesome as well love the crisp on them. My buddy said his burrito was very good and they were nice to put a bunch of toppings on the side for him. Our other friend had the French toast with fruit on top she said was very good as well. My wife had stuffed crepes and didn't enjoy them as much as the fruit was really hot inside just a personal thing. She said the kids French toast was tasty tho.
