Thank you to all for a great experience. Ms. Teresa welcomed us in even though she is a local visiting that day. Made us instantly feel good. Rosio waited on us and was just perfect! Great smile. Michelle Johnson is a great manager! Will be spreading the word to make it a stop when you are near! Will try their bbq next door on next visit. Love it!

I did not know this place existed!!
I’ve visited many breakfast spots in N.C. I must say that this small establishment served up some damn good breakfast that was prepared with love. I was kinda skeptical at first but surprise surprise I found a diamond in the in the rubble. This will be one of my go to spots for a good breakfast. Please try the grilled biscuit. Ms Johnson who I had the pleasure of meeting was my server and she is sweet and bubbly. Saw only one cook on the back ( there could have been more) and she was on point with it all (THANK YOU). I wil definitely return

I came in this restaurant and met the owner she was lovely and I loved everything about this restaurant, the look and the feel, the waitresses were very kind. When my food came out everything was hot and it has a very homey feeling. I love love this restaurant!!!

Took my father for breakfast this morning. Got there around 7:30am. Older blond lady greeted us and got out drink order. 20 min later came back to get our food order. She thought she had already taken it until I waved her down. We were polite and understanding as 5 people walked in behind us and she was running 2 separate dining rooms. Okay cool no problem. Kitchen looked small so expected food to take a while to come out. We ordered biscuits and gravy. No eggs no meat nothing else. We watched all of the other patrons get their food eat and clear their checks. 40 min later I waved her down again to ask how long our food would be. And this lady snapped that it wasn’t fast food. I said that I understand that and we had already waited over 30 min. I was just wanting to get an update. She then proceeded to yell through the restaurant that it is normal to have to wait for food. Making comments the whole time about us “complaining” on how long it took. She then walked to the back and told the cook that they need to start selling stuff from a can. We got up left money for our coffee and left. I work in catering and would never speak to patrons this way. It was beyond rude and disrespectful and I can promise you that we will never be back. We will also tell everyone how horribly we were treated.

Love supporting local businesses. Waitress was very nice and the place looks old but clean. The deduction in stars is due to the wait and the food. 5 customers in the restaurant and it took 30 minutes for our food. Not a deal breaker but a little slow. The food itself was quite bland. Cooked well but very bland. A little bit of seasoning would go a long way here. I hope to see this business do well. I’d go back one more time but if it’s still bland it would be my last. Good luck frying pan!

Went here in July one Monday morning after a friend had a wonderful country ham breakfast here. The same friend was with us this day and what a difference! Eggs and country ham were cooked to death. A family of 4 who came in after we ordered got their food way before us too. The wait wasn't the issue, the food was terrible!
Our friend said there was different kitchen staff day he went the first time. A restaurant should not be good once and awful the next time.We just live 2 miles away and would have loved to have an additional breakfast place. This is not it!
