Food was very good, the place was older but clean and our server was friendly. Open for breakfast and lunch. If we're in the area again, we'll definitely go back!!

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.

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).

Nothing special. Pretty expensive for low quality cafe food.

Was here last Saturday. Down home family style restaurant. Ordered a veggie skillet with toast. Arrived within a short wait.
Eggs were cooked perfect and veggies were sautéed to perfection.
My friends also enjoyed their breakfast dishes. Blueberry pancakes and meat filled omelet.
Will definitely revisit next time up in Galena, IL. Highly recommend if you want a good meal without added unnecessary frills.
Btw... Our waitress was very pleasant and attentive.

Service was OK but it was hard to keep track of all the upcharges. Won't be going back.
