No coffee refill, to girls to busy on ther phones, also to busy to take my money in a timely manner.

Nice location in downtown Carlyle across from the courthouse. For $17, I sort of expected ‘more’. On the good side - you get to control the salt in your food. I don’t know they put any extra salt in either the biscuits and gravy or the omelette. Both items were ‘okay good’ - could do a better job at presentation. Staff was friendly but sort of distracted at the same time. Overall a safe choice if you are in Carlyle.

Three Stars - It was ok. I think this place would be awesome if you were local and knew everybody. There seemed to be a lot of socializing between tables and waitresses but with outsiders. When you walk in it a seat yourself place, but there is no sign to tell you that. We awkwardly stood at the entrance until someone walked by. Then when we sat down we waited more than 15 minutes to get menus. (There was another out of town table who waited 30 minutes and was told there was confusion on who had that table.) The food we got was ok, right on par for a mom and pop shop. The prices seemed good for the adult menu and a little high for the kids menu. (A kids spaghetti was around $7).

Overall we weren't impressed and spent over an hour and a half there for the food and service we expected to come out faster. They might have just been busy or understaffed and we came at the wrong time. I think this place would shine locally for people not a schedule and just there to hang out and get food in their belly.

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu.
