You want down home food cooked to perfection with quality service from good decent people??? There's no place better... I was truly amazed by this place,.. and you will be too!!! Eat up, I've had nothing on the menu that wasn't spectacular... Prices are way under what they should be, but priced right for a great meal for your money and in this economy, who doesn't want to save a buck and still eat great??? Go give them a try, you'll thank me for it later...

My food was excellent!! This is the best breakfast I've had in a very long time! Service was a little slow but well worth the wait! The French toast was phenomenal & the eggs were cooked to perfection. Their home fries are seasoned well and perfectly cooked.The ambiance was very nice. The music was at a good level that allowed for conversation without yelling. I will definitely come back & I'm an hour & a half away!!

Got breakfast yesterday the cinnamon rolls pancakes platter w/ extra side of bologna and bacon. It was to die for. I brag about it and all. Come back today to try the French toast platter w/ bologna and bacon. I guess it's a different chef on shift today because my bologna burnt and thin as ever and the stuff all my food in one container
