We had a great breakfast experience overall. The waffles were hands down better than the pancakes, but the pancakes were massive — you definitely get your money’s worth. The eggs were fresh and cooked perfectly, and the fruit was excellent. Honestly, some of the best strawberries and bananas I’ve had at a restaurant. The toast was also amazing.

The orange juice tasted fresh, and the large size is actually large, so again, you get what you pay for. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, which made the meal even more enjoyable.

Our server wasn’t the most pleasant and came off a bit cold, but despite that, the food alone makes this place worth going back to. We paid about $67, but for the amount of food, the fresh taste, and the calm environment, it felt worth the price.

Our server came to our table within a couple of minutes. The food was delicious. Hubby and I had the sampler which we decided to share, it was a very nice portion for the both of us! Friendly atmosphere and our server was very accommodating and attentive.

Stopped in for a late breakfast on a Thursday around noon time. The restaurant was noticeably clean and tidy, tables set, chairs pushed in, floors clean. We were sat immediately. Our server was training a new server who had never served before and they both did great. As a restaurant owner myself, it wasnt unnoticed how thorough the trainer was and how hands on the training was. I got the hungry man breakfast with the largest pancake I've ever seen! I couldn't finish everything but it was all delicious. The rosemary on the home fries was a nice touch and true diner coffee was welcomed to the taste buds. If I lived close by this would be a regular stop but we were just visiting the area. 10 out of 10 highly recommend.

Great breakfast.. this is my daughter's favorite breakfast place. I ordered the egg breakfast with sausage links. It came with 2 huge sausage links. The eggs were cooked perfectly. And they let me get French fries instead of breakfast potatoes and it came with toast. I also ordered one cinnamon roll pancake. It came with cinnamon sugar swirled into it with cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top with cream cheese drizzle. My daughter told me it was sweet so I asked for them not to put on the extra cinnamon sugar. It was so good and huge. The sugar caramelized on the flat top which brought it to another level of goodness.. I will definitely go back.

The name says it all! This was our 3rd or 4th visit. Everyone is so nice and friendly. Fresh cracked eggs are always used and you can taste the difference! Will definitely be back

The pancakes were huge and delicious, but the service was terrible. The waitress was incredibly rude. She ignored us when we called her and made us take the plates from her hands instead of setting them on the table. She didn't place a single item down herself. The food was good, but the poor service ruined the entire experience.

Service was decent not as attentive as most In the area. The server laughed when the chocolate pancakes arrived when she discovered my spouse could not eat them due to the amount of chocolate that was on them. Also be aware the Food menu is priced per item not as meals so surprised when $65 bill for 2 adults. I ordered French toast, and she ordered pancakes. We each had an order of bacon and hash browns with our meal.

Unfortunately very underwhelmed. Service was great, very sweet waitress but the pancakes turned into dough when eating them. They’re big but not worth the money. Ordered hungry man dish for $20something and got the smallest portions - maybe 6 small potatoes slices and single small piece of meat. Another broken egg blew this place out of the water. Hate saying that bc we love mom n pop businesses.

Appears as a standard issue pancake house.
The “astronomical” part comes in with the prices first (a $12 pancake is a lot), then the wait time to actually get the expensive food. We gave up after waiting 30 minutes after we ordered before we just went and grabbed donuts at a gas station.

Save your time.

Awesome ‘mom and pop’ feeling. Chasity was our veteran server who was so detailed and awesome overall. The wait on a Sunday was about 30 minutes, but was well worth it. My child had the pancakes… caution: they are HUGE!

Nice cozy atmosphere. The kind of place you would take your significant other for a breakfast date. Ambience and decor are impressive, staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean and well managed.
