Staff was short handed today. Place was packed, but that didn't stop the excellent food and the great service. Server kept coffee and drinks topped off well. There were 6 of us with the American Legion riders out of Ottumwa... we highly recommend this place.

I miss these types of small town restaurants. They always have the best food! Delicious biscuits and gravy like my gramma made. Best breakfast burrito i ever ate! Amanda was the server, she's so personable, makes you feel comfortable like you're a regular even if its your first time there. Everyone probably knew eachother, it was packed on a Saturday at 11am. I know why, great service, great food, hometown community vibe. Recommend the biscuits and gravy and the breakfast burrito.
Really miss places like that

Not exactly a back street, but not on the main routes through town. It was easy to find because of the large number of cars parked on the street. Not a large place, but we were there during the midmorning breakfast rush. We were seated and our orders taken promptly, but the food took a bit to get out. It was worth the wait, the best breakfast burrito I've had in years. The ham and cheese omelet was also good. The coffee was always refilled before the bottom of the cup even though they were slammed. Will definitely be back.

I really wanted to like the food here. The waitress was so nice and gave great service. Definitely a local restaurant. It seemed like everyone was enjoying their food so maybe we just ordered the wrong thing. There might have been a reason why they told us they serve breakfast all day and that their sandwiches are wonderful. We should have listened to them I guess. We wanted BBQ. It wasn’t just bad it was horrible. The brisket was some of the worst I have ever had. The burnt ends were so chewy. The ribs were okay but not tender. Try their breakfast or maybe sandwiches but do not order their BBQ. Try a different place.

Very nice and servant minded staff. The person joining me was 45 min late. The ladies kept my coffee cup full and never rushed me even though being a busy Saturday Morning. that table should have turned over 3 times in the amount of time we occupied it.

This is one of those hidden gems you really want to find. Located in a residential neighborhood, you'd never find this just driving through town. It's only open for breakfast and lunch. My folks have taken me here multiple times. I always enjoy it. It does get really crowded but their service is friendly, the prices reasonable, and the smoked sandwiches amazing! On our last visit I had the smoked turkey which had a bold, sweet, smokey flavor. So incredibly tasty. There are a variety of sides to choose from. I love their breaded mushrooms, the fried pickles and the onion rings. I've also enjoyed other sandwiches including a tenderloin, cordon bleu and a Reuben. I'm told the breakfast is also really good.

Tried again after crappy service after 2 months. Today was no different. Sat an entire breakfast with an empty coffee cup. Then, after we stack up the empty/dirty dishes (cup on plate clearly done) she asks if we need a refill. DUH! *tip based on service* $.46 to much.

The real rib sandwich is the best sandwich you can find in town.
