Admittedly, we only stopped for a bio-break because they always have clean restrooms. Alas, something must have been in the beef that night (or the air - there was an air quality alert) as all stalls were full of patrons crafting thier own Flavor of the Day.
After a few impatient minutes, we moved on.“

“The food was good, and served in a timely fashion. My son and I had Philly Cheese steak, which were good, and my wife had a Chicken wrap she said was very good. Drinks were served quickly and were quite good. Our waitress, Sarah, was phenomenal. She was polite, efficient, stopped by often, and treated my son, who is a very friendly special needs young man, with great kindness. She even answered his many questions, which always makes him happy. What a wonderful young woman! The rest of the staff was also very pleasant. We visited today (24 OCT 2026), probably the last really nice weekend this year, and the outdoors ambience was fantastic. The Andrea Lyn duo was playing and singing, and they were amazing. Great sound and fantastic variety of requests fulfilled. They added a lot to the experience, and should be brought back - often!“

It was kind of empty when we 1st got there, which was a little concerning, but I think it was just timing, it started filling up when we were leaving. Waitress and hostess were awesome!! Didn't like that we just can't go to the register and pay anymore.“

“I randomly chose this place during a google search for all day breakfast near Stillwater, my significant other got the banana bread French toast and I got the taco salad with chicken. Chicken wasn’t dried up, the bean to salad ratio was on point, and the salsa wasn’t overly spicy but still had a little bit of a kick. The banana bread French toast wasn’t entirely what we expected but it was delicious, had a bit of an unexpected crunch due to caramelization and it was amazing. Our waitress Kathy was amazing! Checking in on us when we didn’t have our mouths full of food and was great with our out of the ordinary requests for peanut butter and an extra bowl so I didn’t make a total mess of the taco salad. 10/10 service! Will definitely be coming back again Thank you Kathy for making our first experience here amazing!“
