Stopped here on our way out of Cashiers for breakfast. The eggs Benedict my husband ordered was great and the house special of eggs and bacon were good. Coffee was great and plentiful. The waitress we had, I think maybe she was having a bad morning. Short fused and borderline rude. But it happens. So I still give this restaurant four stars and we would probably go there again when in the area.

I failed to take photos, but my party of 5 loved everything we had! I personally had one of their quiches. (Spinach, onions, tomatoes, bacon, feta, and cheddar cheeses.) The crust was so buttery and flaky…perfection! The waffles were also a favorite at our table.

Sitting in the car while my husband waits (yet again) for change after what feels like a two hour ordeal… called breakfast. Our family of 5… three kids, two adults were delighted that our 20 minute wait was somewhat quick. Once inside, nothing else was fast or efficient. They seemed to be most attentive once we FINALLY had our food. Way too slow and not worth patronizing a place with terrible service.
