Food tastes great, but the service was lack luster. No greeting or seating, slow service, no refills. Asked one girl for a togo box and she told me I can ask someone else. Sucks bc the food is great, but the servers don’t pay attention to the needs of the costumers.

I went today for the first time and the Pan Pie was DELICIOUS! Everyone was super nice and looks like a cute little place for breakfast date.

Met the family for breakfast and really enjoyed it! They have a great menu. I particularly enjoyed the hash brown casserole and biscuits. The country ham was great too. Our server was very kind and attentive. We ordered few things from the bakery - you have to try the apple fritter! They have fried pies, pies and cakes as well. Lunch menu looked good too with several things we would like to try when we return. I have to add - tried the donuts - best I have had in years!! So fresh!
Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome here - they have a little kids table w color books and crayons.
Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access since there are no steps at the entrance.

This is a pretty basic cafe with baked goods, breakfast and lunch options. Some friends rave about their donuts but they’re just good not amazing. If you need a good breakfast or lunch or donut, this place will do the job but isn’t mind blowing.

We have been here 3 times first time was good food good service, 2nd times me good food average service the young girl wouldn’t fill up our water the older gentleman ended up doing it Today food was fine service was ridiculous we ordered a chicken club it came out with just a piece of chicken on it we asked about it and waitress stated that they can put everything that is supposed to go n it if we wanted! Well we ordered a club so we would like a club. The three females were just leaning on the counter playing on their phone and talking . I would look for another place to eat if you want good service.

The perfect mix of a small town feel and excellent service. The employees are so kind and make it easy to regular the bakery. Also, the prices are very fair for the quality of the pastries and food. If I could give 10 stars, I would!

I recently visited J Clayborn’s and tried their donuts and pumpkin empanada. Both were absolutely delicious! The donuts were perfectly soft and flavorful, and the pumpkin turnover had the right amount of sweetness and spice. Highly recommend!

I've never been here before but I came with my grandma to get some coconut cakes which she buys from them yearly. We had some lunch before we left, I had the steak and biscuits with fried okra, and it was delicious. If you're looking for simple, tasty southern home cooking for a reasonable price then look no further

Fantastic spot! My coffee was hot and fresh. My texas pulled pork omelet was big and truly, truly exceptional. Service was also terrific. Nothing at all to fault. Highly recommend; will definitely be back.

Just in Lebanon for the day & after going to 3 breakfasts places & leaving we settled on this one. Food was just ok, service was the same. The big issue here was how dirty it was! The booth was dirty, as was the floors & the employees clothing! We were not looking for “fancy”, just a CLEAN Mom/Pop diner.

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!
Me and my two-year-old daughter recently had breakfast here. As we came in, no one greeted us or welcomed us in. We finally wondered over to the stool top to wait for the booth behind us to be cleaned. As we waited two women walked in and immediately sat at the empty dirty booth we was waiting for. The server acted like she never saw it and nothing was said so I was left to struggle with a two year in my lap at the stool top. We went ahead and ordered because we were really hungry. Before receiving any food, I was obviously struggling with my two-year-old in my lap, but nobody offered a highchair or any other option as how to help. I started looking around and found that they actually did have high chairs. Once our food was delivered I had to ask for one loudly and hopes somebody would help me because my server was not and there were other servers just standing around. Getting the highchair, I quickly realized it was not as tall as the stool top we were sitting at so I was left to hold a plate to her level, as I tried to eat my food, it was a disaster. An older lady sitting down by us, saw that we were obviously struggling and offered to help us move to the “community table”. Never heard such a thing in my life nor was there signs about community tables. Anything was better than our situation so I said yes to her help. Needless to say, a stranger helped me more than my server did or anyone for that matter. I couldn’t help but notice the frustration on the servers face as she was sitting at the end of the stool top, fiddling with silverware obviously talking about Me and my daughter to another server. It was so obvious because the other server was glancing over at us as they were both talking. I just continued to look at them because I needed help and they were doing nothing to help. I finally waved and the one who was not my server came over and asked me what I needed. This place made me feel like I was such a problem. Service was extremely poor, attitudes were childish, and no-one was near professional. When I confronted the manager about the issue, he said well we all make mistakes. Absolutely will never go back and I will continue to tell others of how me and my 2 year old was treated.
ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE , ZERO STARS, NEEDS NEW BUSINESS STRUCTURE, NEW SERVERS WHO ACTUALLY SMILE AND WELCOME , AND NEW MANAGEMENT!

Best breakfast in Lebanon!!!! Great food and great service!!!
I just had lunch there and had the Pulled Pork, Pinto Beans and Fried Potatoes. Pretty good I must say! The Pintos are homemade and were delicious! The price for my lunch was very reasonable and service was excellent. I even got a couple of fried pies on my way out. 4.5⭐️’s
What a nightmare of a visit. Arrived and was promptly greeted by a very nice waitress who brought us our drinks. From here it turned into a disaster. The very nice waitress clocked out and left, obviously not telling anyone she had a table. We proceeded to watch 4 tables walk in, sit down and orders placed. Waitress kept walking by, owner gabbing literally 5 feet from us and facing us. I couldn't believe nobody noticed the menus still sitting in front of us the entire time. At several points in time the 3 of them were standing at the counter right near our tables on their phones. I fault the owner who was standing there the ENTIRE time for not paying attention to her customers and what was going on. We sat there for 28 minutes until the waitress realized we had not ordered. Mind you, this place is so tiny, literally has only about 7 tables in the entire place. If you can't pay attention enough to your customers to know they've been sitting with menus in front of them for 28 minutes, then perhaps you shouldn't be an owner of a restaurant. Worse service I've ever had.

This was my first time here, and it was scrumptious! I love supporting local businesses and brought my uncle and two dear friends today. We all loved what we had and the prices are so reasonable!! We will definitely be back regularly.
