Yummy pancakes--eggs&bacon diner! Cozy and friendly.

On a Sunday morning, we were cheerily and quickly seated in a quaint little house across from the SLO train station.
The menu was set for breakfast, lunch and dinner and provided many options for each.
The portions were large and cooked well.
Will definitely come back.
