Saw good reviews so tried it out. Definitely seems like a club or something as the two tables in the back were all older people just drinking coffee and chatting. Anyways, we were sat promptly and given menus and our drink order was taken, but it was about 10 minutes after that when our server returned with drinks and took our order, a little long but no biggie. We placed our order then waited, and waited, and waited. It took 45 minutes for an egg biscuit and a sausage and gravy plate! 45 minutes! I was starving so, whatever, the reviews were good right? The food was room temp and nasty. The biscuit was inedible and I don’t think the guy cooking has seen a spice in his life. I wanted it to be good but it just wasn’t.

They did our turkey for Thanksgiving, and it was the best turkey I’ve had in years. We also ordered some other items which where amazing! We will definitely be using them again.

I guess it’s the community cafe. Lots of first name basis. My Party of four. We give it a one star due to waitress being friendly. Our food was COLD and took a while, bacon was burnt, biscuits hard, our omelette/eggs had several eggshells in it. Probably won’t revisit…

Great value for the price of the food and portion size. Very affordable. Staff were very friendly, helpful, and quick (they seem to really enjoy their jobs which is rare to see these days). Clean bathrooms.

The service was pretty good, but the food could have been better. Also, the menu could use some descriptions about what each dish includes, so that everyone will know what to expect or decide what items they want to customize/avoid. Also, the ambience was kind of hole-in-the-wall, which I wouldn't have minded, had the food been a little better.
