Amber was awesome she talked with us like she knew us great smile and she even had hot cocoa for my coffee which unless you know me you wouldn’t understand. Biscuits and gravy was good didn’t taste like all pepper . Eggs perfect cooked definitely need to check them out . Not a bad price and they are open for Thanksgiving she told us

This place is Amazing. Hands down one of the best hole in the wall breakfast/Lunch places ever. Staff was very friendly and had a very relaxed vibe to it. We got breakfast and the pancakes were perfectly sized where you could actually eat them. The price looked like it was from 2005. Very affordable place! Would highly recommend!

How much time do you have? Took 45 minutes to get simple breakfasts which unfortunately gave us time to listen to the local’s interactions, discussions of neighbor’s problems, or listen to one patron’s phone videos 😖 Really emphasize supporting local businesses, but just can’t say this one is worth the effort. Food was ok, but standard diner fare. Poor cook in the kitchen working on too small of a stove. Leave it for the locals…
