Went for the first time yesterday with my sister and my niece, I already could tell we would be waiting with how many people were outside.
We waited about an hour and a half however, a wait that long is a promise for a happy belly.
Drinks AMAZING
Food TO DIE FOR
Service LIKE NEVER BEFORE
Genuinely every single employee was delightful, they treated my family beautifully and they even played with my niece a little.

If you don’t mind waiting, I’d recommend this place again and again.
I spent about $105 and honestly it was worth it, keep in mind that’s because we got a lot as we wanted to try a lot.
Portion sizes are huge I only needed the one dish, (couldn’t even finish but did take it home)
I could go on and on about why I think everyone should try this place at least once but I’d be typing all year!

I'm a visitor stopping by going to Silver Falls. Definitely this is a local hidden gem, or not so hidden but it deserves so much recognition! EXPECT to wait as it's a small, but cozy place, it's like visiting the cool aunties house. Like literally it's a house converted to a restaurant. BE NICE, and understanding, they probably are blood family. BUT the FOOD, gourmet honestly the photos do not do it justice and the taste and flavors are of what you expect from a fancy restaurant.

TL;DR: EXPECT TO WAIT. Definitely WORTH the wait.

I went on a week day at 9:30. There was a short wait, maybe 10 minutes. We had biscuits and gravy, creme brulè French toast and a breakfast burrito between us. The food was so tasty 😋! Our server, Sam, knocked it out of the park for service! Atmosphere had lots of signs and pictures to make you smile. My only negative thing to say would be about parking. The lot is small and not conducive for larger vehicles. So, wear your walking shoes and park on a side street. You'll need the exercise after that meal!

Food and service were excellent. What more do you need? Great blueberry pancakes. The turtle pancakes were excellent as well.

One of the best breakfast places I have ever been to too. Sit at the bar and Kelly will take care of you.

Report this restaurant for willfull non-ADA compliance to the Bureau of Labor and Industry. We’ve spoke several times regarding the lack of access to the restaurant for disabled patrons and there hasn’t been any resolve or even attempts to provide access. In the state of Oregon, ADA rules that public accommodations must provide access to the building— at the very least. It’s disheartening this place has refused to care about serving humans with disabilities as long as they have. They will never have my business and don’t deserve the support they have in the community while outright refusing to serve a part of it.

The portions here are generous—definitely worth the price. I couldn’t even finish my sandwich! Everything was fresh and delicious—the salad was fresh, the bread was soft, and the sandwich was full of flavor. The service was friendly, though the wait for food on the weekend was longer than expected; it took about 30 minutes for our meals to arrive. Still, the atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed—an ideal spot to enjoy brunch with friends.

I recently visit your restaurant and I have to tell you. I had a server named Kelly. She was the kindest most considerate and best server I have ever had. I hope you know how very lucky you are to have her. I say this because I am a server myself and have been for the last 35 years. But her service was above and beyond

Food is good and the portions are generous! Solid breakfast spot, but get there early or you’ll be waiting a good while.

They do not answer their phone. I’ve called to place a takeout order in the past & had a hard time getting through to this business. Eventually I was able to get through & just figured they were really busy.

This morning, however, my wife tried calling to place a takeout order for a coworker to take to them for their birthday & they would not pick up their phone - just canceling her call each time.

Great and delicious!! We picked up the food to go, and it was still hot and tasty! Wonderful experience!

Karen Robertson

Not gonna lie. It was quite a wait. Limited space, so if you get there later, then you will hafta be patient. The food was worth the wait, and the staff were super friendly. Definitely would go back here again
