You know it's good when the parking lot is full and 2 doors down is Bob Evans with only a handful of cars in the parking lot. The food was great, the service friendly, and the atmosphere was family friendly.

Ordered the Blueberry Crunch pancakes. They weren't overpriced for the portion given. They tasted amazing and were very filling.

July 2025: Mixed experiences with this place so your visit may just depend on luck. The food is really good with many different options for both breakfast and lunch and the serving sizes are large. But they were super slow which surprised us because others in our travel group had gone there for breakfast, said it was busy, but had fast service (less than 45 minutes from entry to finish). We went for a later lunch around 1:00, we didn't even get to order for 15 minutes, then it was another 45 minutes before we got our food. We would eat here again but not if we had plans for a specific time later in the day.

I had Sophia’s Omelette. Huge portions. It came with 5 eggs and abundant protein/vegetables. Very tasty and delicious. The fruit was fresh and sweet. I had a single chocolate chip pancake. The chips were sprinkled on top, I would’ve liked the chips to be incorporated to the mix/melted a little instead of just putting a chunk of chips on top of it. But still good. Extensive and colorful menu.

Overcrowded, smells, half the sugar packets were used/open, and the coffee mug given to us had a giant crack which led to it leaking all over the table. Waitress was nice but that’s about the only good thing

The food was delicious! And the portions were not disappointing. The omelet I got was so thick! The crepes and Eggs Benedict were really good as well. We also got a plate of biscuits and gravy for the table. That was a good choice.
Our server Shaun was especially awesome. Very polite and efficient. His knowledge of the menu was impressive. He's a pro and seems to love what he does.
Oh, if it's summer time, bring a sweatshirt or jacket. If it's winter, bring shorts and a t-shirt. Their heating & A/C works REALLY well.

The place is always packed but the wait is short and the staff are very efficient and friendly. I can’t remember the name of my dish but it was an egg scramble, Mexican rice and refried beans. Very good! The guacamole was not a traditional guacamole. It was very very spicy! Good but spicy!!
