What a great place to stop for delicious food and friendly service. Had breakfast here... Denver Omelet with hash browns and toast. Perfectly done. Coffee was smooth and hot. We will stop in again next time we are in the area.

No frills here, no main street, located near Culver’s, just a good breakfast stop with reasonable prices. We used to come here a lot as a family, until my wife became gluten-free, and then the visits stopped. Because they had very little as far as gluten-free options. I was in town alone, so I was able to have breakfast. I really enjoyed French toast, bacon, hot chocolate, all delicious. Sounds like there’s a new general manager, I spoke to her a little bit about possibly getting some gluten-free bread in stock and offering French toast, etc. for gluten-free options. Hopefully at some point they add the option.

Ignore the 80s-90s decor, skip the 40-minute waits downtown, and eat at this place. The service is FANTASTIC, breakfast is FANTASTIC, and it was fast (also FANTASTIC).
