Extremely rude to trans people and they make it blatant. Server kept giving us dirty looks, slammed our drinks on the table, and kept ignoring us even though it was very clear we were ready to order. She was standing around talking to the cook, or cleaning tables, while every couple min looking at us with a dirty look that's how I know she was deliberately ignoring us. We had our menus at the edge of the table there's no way she couldn't tell we were ready. Just wish I had her name so I could call her out directly. If this is the kind of behavior this place allows from their workers, can expect I'll never come here again. And if you're trans yourself, avoid this place at all costs.

The search is finally over! This place has the best biscuits and gravy in the 209 area. These biscuits are made fresh daily and you can definitely tell. They are tall and fluffy and quite filling. the gravy is smooth and creamy I can’t say it’s the best gravy around but it complements the biscuit who is the real star of the show. All the other menu items we tried were delicious as well. portions are generous and prices are on par with most other breakfast joints. Service was excellent, fast and friendly even on a bustling Saturday morning. Atmosphere is nothing fancy just straight up cafe fare with a classic local vibe.
This will absolutely be in rotation for breakfast and I am looking forward to trying the lunch menu

Server was overwhelmed and could barely contain her annoyance when improperly cooked food was pointed out. If they can't cook delicate fish it shouldn't be on the menu. I still tipped close to 50% cause I'm not a heathen but it's a good thing I don't live near by because I'm not coming back. The girl at the register (not my server) couldn't look at me or interact with me in a civil or friendly manner as I was paying to leave. If your looking for rude service and sloppy improperly cooked food this place is perfect.

Got our food cold, ask to warm it came back cold again. Way over priced for the amount of food served order the biscuits and gravy ask if it had sausage or bacon in the gravy waitress said yes sausage when it came it was plain white gravy with salt and pepper. Worst food we ever had. Personally I won't be going back not worth a 50.00 bill for sure.
Will not be recommending anyone there. Huckleberry and Dennys serve better food and no where near those high prices .

You should try their breakfast steak and egg, which is very delicious and in comparison to other places, it's affordable. This place, I believe, is privately owned that's why still is the best place around. Highly recommended.
