The ambiance was uniquely beautiful. I'm very impressed. The selection of food is wonderful. The biscuit and fried chicken were delightful. The service was good. Note: they do not have r table service. You order at the counter. Then they bring the food and drinks to you. The food was plentiful. I had a nice time. There are other items on the menu, therefore I'll be back.

These are truly the best potatoes and country gravy I have had in town. I stand by this. I think their mission is kick butt also.

Beware of Darkness

I stopped in for the first time yesterday. I'm more of a bakery fan than a breakfast food fan, so I tried a chocolate iced sprinkle cake donut, a pecan Danish, and a snickerdoodle cookie.The cake donut was soft and moist with a medium dense consistency, and the chocolate icing was perfect. The Danish was also delicious. The pecan filling had a good flavor and a nice level of sweetness. It was also on the large size for Danishes. The snickerdoodle cookie, however, was pretty average. I thought it could have used more sugar and cinnamon. It was a very large cookie. It just tasted more like an undersweetened sugar cookie than a snickerdoodle. It was soft it a nice crisp edge. It just wasn't my cup of tea.As I'm prone to doing, I got excited and started chowing down before I thought to take pictures. Overall, I liked it a lot. I'll definitely be back!

I have been here a couple of times for brunch and love the food and environment! Everything is very reasonably priced; I’ve gotten the French toast and pancakes and both plates come with so much food!! They also have great coffee, and plenty of seating.

You are truly missing out if you don’t make plans to breakfast here. It’s super clean and inviting, it has a lot of space for large parties, and it’s clean and the people are very very sweet.They have a full on restaurant menu with a lot of variety, and the service and food were outstanding. I cannot believe that it was so slow. It seems like nobody knows this place exists.The portion of coffee that you receive is phenomenal and they even have oat milk. They do not offer gluten-free bread except a bun and they do not have dairy free or gluten-free desserts except for one, so we did not get to enjoy the ice cream or the bakery, but cannot be happier and will be definitely coming back!Also it would be a 5 star no question if the putting on the hash below contained meat. I believe there was an ounce of brisket. Gluten-free and dairy free are also very much in demand these days so they could definitely make desserts and ice cream that would corner the market because the excellence in their bakery can’t be beat for years and years. I don’t want anyone reading this to see that I am complaining I am absolutely not complaining they’re probably was a small flaw in whoever was cooking the flavor of the brisket combined with the caramelized, onions, horseradish, and potatoes were amazing.

Pioneer has never done me wrong. When it was McArthur's, awesome. Now that it's Pioneer, even better!! The breakfast potatoes were amazing, and they were just a side dish to the biscuits and gravy. Just great. I really hit the spot. I love this place, and should have reviewed it much sooner. These folks do great work, and their staff is always friendly.

This place is absolutely wonderful. First time here and the service was beyond exceptional - they even made my daughter Mickey Mouse pancakes! The biscuits and gravy was so delicious also. Will definitely be back!
