Never been to a better breakfast place! The egg yolks were a rich golden color, bacon done right, and even the fruit cup looked appealing. My wife had "Grace's Benedict and thought it very tasty. Unfortunately we don't live nearby, and were just passing thru. Cheerful waitress!

This place is such an amazing family owned gem of a diner! You can’t beat the prices for all the quality food you get. I was so impressed during our visit here. I love that it has an old school diner feel and it is such a clean space. The owners are great people as well. I would add this to your must-try list! This place is also kid-friendly!
