My wife and I love to support local businesses. We looked up the restaurant recently and decided to take a trip to this establishment. So let me start off the positives. The potatoes were absolutely perfect. Seasoned and fried to a crispy perfection, the gravy also gets the high marks as I love good biscuits and gravy. Now, my biggest complaint was that the biscuit was cold and dry, and no amount of gravy could've saved it. Also, I never received my bacon that was placed...

The good was ok, the service, and the atmosphere were good, but this place is just way too expensive. It's hard to stomach $50 for two people for breakfast. I came here seeking a diner, someplace to wait before I went to the Municipal Court in downtown and it was a good way to waste time.

Food okay the breakfast food better than lunch menu. Some dishes overly salty but that could just be me. Pancake is very good. Drinks fun and n/a options which is good thing.

Menu prices need updated I added avocado to my breakfast burrito which menu said $2 add on but bill said $3. Get some stickers or something.
