Small diner downtown delivers well prepared homestyle menu items! Our table had a toasted clubhouse (with real baked turkey and ham), a toasted turkey and provolone sandwich, a burger w/fries, a reuben sandwich and pancakes! Oh and the soups and potato salad were 10/10.

Friendly service and nice small town feel. Thank you!

Friendly and very quick service. The place is clean and simple, but it really makes you feel at home. For breakfast, I had some excellent pancakes — truly delicious — and a black coffee. I really enjoyed my experience. Well done!

This place is incredibly cozy, and the service is outstanding. It feels like stepping into a family member’s home—welcoming, comforting, and full of heart. The food is delicious and satisfying, with a wonderfully diverse menu. I felt genuinely cared for while enjoying the atmosphere. If I could, I’d eat here every single day.

Very quaint spot with welcoming staff and a lovely whiteboard of specials. The food tasted fresh and homey. I could tell it's where families come to spend time during the weekends or daytime with it's cozy feel

Love this little local diner but this is the second time we have gone in for a late breakfast (9:30), which they say they serve until 11, and gotten hash browns that were obviously made for the 7 am crowd. And the bacon had also been on the grill around that time. The pancake, however, was wonderful, huge and fluffy.
The waitresses are great and the service is friendly. We'll be back, but not for breakfast.

This is a place that locals go over and over again which bodes well. The owner and the waitstaff are friendly and helpful. The food is wonderful - generous servings and great taste. The atmosphere is jovial and friendly. People who don't even know each other chat between tables. The art all over the walls really adds to the charm of the place. Highly recommend, especially if you want to see the real Duncan.

Our favorite place on the planet for breakfast. We're just sorry that it's an hour drive from where we live!

Great spot for breakfast in downtown Duncan (on the totem pole walk). They offer small and half portions at reasonable prices. The Bennys were tasty and the service friendly. Smaller dogs allowed on patio.

It’s a cute old school restaurant with a nice outdoor deck and lovely service but the food was incredibly underwhelming and quite expensive for the quality you get. The toast was thin and plain tasting. The eggs lacked flavour and the hash tasted more like grease than anything else. For $16 I expected slightly better quality. So while it wasn’t a bad experience it wasn’t somewhere I would go again.

Very well established café type place with great solid food items and the friendliest servers who seem to have a coffee pot stuck to their hands! This is a great place for breakfast or lunch in the heart of Duncan.
