Expensive low-quality ingredients which is a shame because my burger (rare) was cooked properly; charged me $1 for two see-through rings (not slices) of onion about 2mm wide on the already over-price burger, roll was stale but toasted, cheese was the white cheese food crap bought in bulk, burger was not even 1/4 lb, lettuce was slight brown. Waitress had a huge attitude from the time we walked in through the front door. Informed us there was a wait. I asked and she said expect about 30 minutes...50 minutes later and the order was wrong as I had in addition to my burger (includes chips and pickles) ordered a full order of fries for myself and my daughter to share. When I brought this to her attention she took a tone and her attitude became worse. She corrected it. The burger came with some old chips in very small broken pieces with two slices of dill pickles. It's a shame because usually most places undercook the fries and these were perfect and the price very reasonable for a full order. I ran out of ketchup and, at this point, I chose to be without it because the waitress was unapproachable and I was not about to force ketchup out of the bottle because the splatter would ruin my clothing (white cotton/silk). I didn't want to tip but did at a rate 60% lower than I would have for pleasant COMPETENT service and a quality meal. I am PAYING for a service and experience: I work hard for my money and I do not appreciate this. Poor management, poor service, and overall poor quality. Expensive. Will not be returning.

Server was horrible. She had such an attitude from the moment we sat down. Never checked on us once and acted like it was a problem to do her job. We asked her if you pay up front or if she takes the check and she ripped the check off the table and never said a word. The food disgusting as well. Would never go back there.

Found my new favorite spot! Amazing community vibes. The portions are huge and I got two full meals with coffee for under $20. The people who work here might be the best part.

Gabby was the sweetest server!! Could grab a coffee and chat all day with her....but she was very busy with other customers. She puts all her customers first!! Speaking of coffee it was the best coffee I had in a while. Just having eye surgery she put a straw in my cup..she paid attention to detail.
She talked us into beef bacon. Something we never heard of and it was delicious. She checked on us several times. She was excellent and so was the bacon, eggs, jelly toast, French toast and coffee!! It's a no frills place. Just your mom and pops kind of kitchen!! That's what we look for when traveling!!

Food was gross & over priced. The home fries are mushy. The chicken fingers are mushy & cheap & frozen. The waffle was good. And the that’s the only positive I have for this place.

Great breakfast food for cheap!

I have been going here for months and regardless of what I order, its cooked to my liking and very good. Takes about 15-20 mins for your order to be ready, but its worth the wait!

If you’re hungry, go somewhere else! Waited almost an hour for my take out breakfast, and they still got it wrong.

When I first walked in several people behind the counter looked in my face and did not take my order. Then a lady named Kat took my order who was very pleasant. I ordered cream chopped beef on wheat toast and grits with cheese and scrambled eggs as well as a bottle of orange juice. The orange juice did not disappoint and the customer service from Kat was top notch. May go again just to have some laughs with Kat, but would only change getting a bottled drink. The food had no taste and I drowned it in pepper. Perhaps it is just my pallet. To each their own....??

Wheelchair accessibility: I observed one person being served while I was there who used a wheelchair.

Food was average. I'd rather not dine in a place that serves food with a plastic folk and styrofoam container.
