So Good!! Highly recommend if you're looking for quality homestyle cooking. Wide variety of classic American food. My favorite has been the breakfast items. The breads: biscuits (like my grandma used to make), muffins, toast are all from a local bakery and OMG they are amazing! Pancakes are huge and delicious! As well as the organic eggs! Everything we've had here have exceeded expectations. The fish and chips are great and taste fresh. Pastas were surprisingly tasty....

Went in and was seated quickly. Place was mostly empty but looked neat and clean. Service was fine. Food was excellent and prices are a bit expensive but good portions to match and pretty much in line with most diners nowadays.

Unfortunately, it was so busy that I was given the writing bill and ended up paying for another person's table. Only noticed after I was back home. I live far from Issaquah. I kept thinking my bill should have been around $25 but I was charged $48. Oh well, someone had a cheap bill at my expense.
Food was good enough to go back but next time...
