This place has been a Belvidere staple for many years. They are under different ownership. The food quality is, and has always been great. Service is usually very fast and efficient, but like all places today, that can vary, as it is harder to get and retain staff. But the only complaint with this restaurant is, the pricing. It's a little like going to buy a new car. You never know what you will end up paying. Start with the menu. It lists 2 eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast at under $7.00. It actually is around double that. There are also various add on's they charge for, like using a credit/ debit card. That is not, listed on the menu. I understand the business pays a fee for accepting credit transaction's. However, there are quite a few benefits. First, you do not have to make change with a customer. Not many people realize it, but banks charge their commercial customers a fee per roll, for getting coins. You do not have to count the money, and balance it with expected receipts. Nobody has to take the money to the bank to deposit it, which is a safety risk. A lot of businesses use a service like brinks, which is an additional cost. Credit/ Debit transactions are posted to your account within 24 hours. Cash transactions will depend on when you get the money to the bank, and they count it. On a holiday weekend, it could take 4 days. Most smart businesses might adjust prices 2-3%, if they wanted to pass this cost on. But penalizing customers for using it, is short sighted. And the menu- I am sure there have been quite a few customers who get " sticker shock" from this. I have talked to the owner on a number of occasions. He has complained about how slow they are, during the week. Seems to me, running senior specials during this time period, might help him out. Embracing technology, like credit/ debit cards, is a must. Being honest and forthright by having a menu that actually reflects your prices, should be a given. Belvidere has lost quite a few restaurants since the pandemic. The Stellantis plant is expanding and will be bringing in a lot of new jobs. Your future should be secure. Be honest, and transparent, and the loyalty of Boone county will support you, for years to come. Had a reply from someone who says the menu prices are correct. Unless they printed a new menu while being closed for their plumbing issue, this is not true.

Food is always pretty good. I really like their fettuccine alfredo. Sometimes it's a bit loud/echo-y, which makes it hard for me to hear, so going at off times (slow hours) is best if you have a hearing loss. They're really prompt on refilling coffee, sometimes too much so.They now charge an extra fee if you pay with card, so if you don't want to pay the extra card fee, bring cash. (There's an ATM located at the PNC Bank right across the street if you need cash.)

The outside of the place needs a little TLC we passed by and it looks blah but the inside is pretty cool we sat in the back room and there were some cool car newspapers framed up on the walls. I ordered a skillet and it was flavorful, the pancakes were delicious and the coffee wasn’t too hot, it’ll keep you warm but not burn your tongue. Our server was awesome she was quick and on it
1st time I've eaten here. Very nice place reminded me of the way restaurants used to be, kind of mom & pop. Everyone from wait staff to table cleaner very friendly. Very attentive. Will certainly try here again. Thank
