Ther vermin traps in the entrance should have been a clue. The board said breakfast buffet $12.99 but you couldn't see the bar from the booth.
It had powdered eggs, biscuits, bacon, sausage, cinnamon rolls, gravy. That's it. All cold. Watery eggs. The soft drinks were canned. No fountain. Coffee was terrible.

OVERPRICED.
Was told the buffet needed 'replenished' and after about 5 minutes was told it was good to go. The fake eggs were sitting in a gallon of melted margarine, the sausage pattys were microwaved great value, the cinnamon rolls were from a can and sooo burnt and hard. The bacon was crispy to the point you could break a tooth on it. I'm surprised the buffet table/location even passes inspection. Reviews are very misleading, would have been better stopping at McDonald's.

Wonderful service. The town of Emporia was in a water ban the day we went. (We didn't know before we went the 1.5 hours to meet there. So I'd have to go again to get the real opinion on the food.

The place may look like a factory from the outside but the breakfast I had was quite great. The egg omelette was cooked perfectly and not burnt. I enjoyed the home fries. Good coffee. They had a breakfast buffet set up which I didn't have but it looked good.

Food was terrible. They were out of several items . Service was bad and wait staff and other patrons very rude. If I could leave 0 stars, I would. I do not recommend this place.

I had me the eggs and chopped steak breakfast which comes with hash brown and a pancake or could be substituted for a biscuit. The food was great and the service was phenomenal. The lady attending was always attentive to my drink and made sure everything was good. The place was nice and peaceful.

Don't EVER go here, they don't know how to keep a damn thing on hand . You have to change your order several times because they keep saying they're out bunch of different things. I mean you would think they would know what breakfast all day is. Worst place ever! I will see to it personally, they lose they're business, and think I can do it!!!
