Classic old school diner with a northern small town ambience and decor.
We are glad that we gave this place a try despite not having many photos.
Coffee was fresh, mild, not too strong and not weak, the waitress was attentive in a subtle way, not overbearing or too talkative, but to the point and pleasant.
The omlette, breakfast quesadilla, potatoes, toast and the house sauces were fresh and tasty.
They had cabin style walls with cabin decorations...
The name on the sign had changed. We Googled the restaurant, it brought us here. We knew it was a gem when the parking lot was full. It is a 50’s style decor, food was great. Service was good, atmosphere gave us lots to look at. Our next trip to TC will definitely include breakfast at this nice spot.
My wife is a big breakfast fan, so when we travel, we like to eat out at least once rather than eating the included breakfast at our hotel. Willie’s Rear was our choice.

The restaurant sits at one end of a string of store fronts. We walked up the steps only to discover that you don’t enter the front of the restaurant. You got it - you go in the rear (technically on the side towards the back).

My first thought was there’s no room in this...
