“Had the Castroville Scramble (3 eggs, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, onions, with home fried potatoes and Rye toast) and it was VERY VERY good! The service was great and food delivered promptly. there's a small outdoor dining area tgat was very nice even though it's in a very commercial/industrial part of town. A very pleasant dining surprise for hungry travellers!“

My dad got a corned beef Reuben which was so delicious and came with dill pickle chips to add even more flavor. The staff was extremely friendly and it’s located in such a charming place in what feels like the country.“

“I honestly don’t understand how this place ever got such bad reviews. I’ve seen it at its lowest, and the changes they’ve made are incredible. Everything feels so much more welcoming, clean, and well put together now.

The food was fresh, hot, and exactly how we ordered it—definitely one of the best experiences I’ve had here in a long time.

What really stood out, though, was the service. Ashley provided amazing customer service from start to finish. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without missing a beat. You can tell she genuinely cares about the guests she’s serving.

Between the improvements and the great service, this place has really turned things around. I’ll definitely be coming back!“
