Super cool little place. Based on reviews and pics, stopped while driving through at about noon.

I hate to sound like a jerk, but this place isn't good. Had communication issues with the waitress, and the food wasn't good. I ordered the "certified angus sirloin" steak and eggs with hashbrowns. The eggs were fine. The hashbrowns tasted good, but it sure seemed like a small portion. The steak was a joke. It was sliced about 3/16 of an inch thick, and about a quarter of it was fat. It wasn't a sirloin. I ordered it medium, but i don't think its possible to cook a steak that thin to "medium."

My friend got the chicken and waffles. The waitress asked how he wanted his waffles, which is a question I'd never heard before, and he didn't know how to respond. Well, she was asking if he wanted syrup or gravy on the waffles. He asked for a cup of each on the side. Well, they forgot the gravy, but he liked the syrup enough that he asked for a second cup. He didn't get a second cup of syrup, but they remembered and brought out a cup of gravy. The gravy looked terrible. Who knows, maybe its good, but it looked so bad that none of us would dare try it.

The service was slow too. The waitress may have been busy, but as we were the only patrons, idk what she was busy doing.

Had chicken cordon bleu. It was really, really good. Tender chicken. So impressed with this place. Super friendly wait staff. Food comes quickly, too. The Toast tech to pay the check is very convenient.

Disappointing food and grotesquely high prices.

Went with the family for brunch. MIL got an omelet, she was happy with it. FIL got a bbq chicken. Large plate. He said it was okay. I don't remember what my husband got, but he said his was good. I got the french toast with hashbrowns. It was okay. Staff is extremely friendly. Prompt service and kept drinks refilled. Not the same menu as online, but could just be it was a Sunday menu. This used to be a favorite. It's under new management now. They are being diligent on continuing to improve, which shows they are really trying to make this successful. I believe they can do it and would go again. Wishing them the best of luck!

The reopening is in full swing. Service was amazing and attentive. Corn soup was the highlight, the rest of my food was quite good.
