The Truck Center recommended this place to us. I'm glad we took the service writer's suggestion. The menu was big and the selections were interesting. I had the Mexican Skillet which was really "top notch". My wife had their Notch Benedict, and she totally cleaned up her plate, especially the crisp hash browns, something she rarely does. Their portions were very generous.
Also, their Halloween decorations outside were very cool!

Went for breakfast and it was great! I ordered the country special it was so much food I couldn't eat it all our brought it home and it was only $10. My waitress was great, she recommended it. I'll definitely go back. Was probably the best breakfast I've had in the South Bend area and I've been to a lot of restaurants.
