This is a friendly town breakfast place. Intimate ambience and great service. Haven't tried the food since a new cook, but I'm sure it's good.

Best breakfast around, the wait isn't bad either, the waitresses are right there to get you what you need. The seating arrangement is either at the counter or you can choose a table but either way it is a laid back atmosphere for kids and adults alike.

Reliable / Decent Service and Decent Food. Here is your opportunity to be GREAT. The bus-girl who was working on the morning of May 27th between 8:30 - 9:30a. Please get her a Bus / Utility Bin to clear the tables. The girl was working as hard as she could to clean-up tables, wipe them down, and then balance a pile of dirty dishes on her way back to the kitchen. Buy her a tote and let her put all of the dishes in the tote, wipe the table down (all in one trip) and turn the table over quicker; more flow-through / Less People Standing in the doorway, etc. Everyone needs the right tools to be successful - get her a Bus Tote. The $23 (for a 4-pack) will pay for itself via turning-over tables in a more timely manner.

I've never had a bad meal here but the last time I've been was pre-COVID. This morning we went around 9am and were seated right away. They had a booster seat or high chair available for my daughter but it looked like they might only have one of each. They have crayons for the kiddos but I don't see a kid's menu which was fine. We probably would have ordered off the adult menu anyway. Food came out fast, as always. I got the strawberry Nutella French toast which was delicious. Though, I could have done without the strawberries but it worked out because my daughter loved eating them. I normally would order a side of bacon with this but I knew my daughter wouldn't eat all of hers so I was able to skip that. My daughter got the one egg (scrambled), choice of meat (bacon- 4 pieces) , toast (white & buttered), and home fries. My husband got the eggs with corned beef hash. Everything was good & hot. It's simple food done well (consistently). The restaurant is small and seating is first come, first serve but there is a counter where you can grab seats, if you don't need a table. Everything takes longer with a toddler but normally we'd be in & out pretty quick. There's a good amount of regulars which adds to a warm atmosphere of everyone knowing everyone else. The servers are all friendly, too. It's clear not much has changed since we last went (and that's a good thing!)

While visiting family we enjoyed Fathers Day breakfast here on their 3rd day open since the Covid-19 closure. These folks pored their hearts and souls into providing comfortable, distanced dining. The services was slightly slow, but once we had our iced coffee we were content to chat and enjoy the company. Our food was delicious. I had the Popeye omelet with pumpernickel toast and sliced tomato which I subbed for the potatoes. The others In my party were also satisfied with their breakfasts. I would love to go back again next time we are visiting. Wishing you all well in this challenging and changing environment!

First time trying out this place. Cute, country atmosphere. Friendly staff. We had a short wait, but they were moving food out and cleaning tables as quickly as they could. The menu had a good variety of breakfast favorites and a few seasonal specials. Big portions. Fair prices. I ordered the Popeye omelette (spinach, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and cheese). YUM! Honestly, one of the best omelettes that I have ever had. I ordered a few things to "sample" the menu. The corned beef hash had nice chunks of corned beef, but it was a bit too salty for me. The pancakes were HUGE and fluffy with just enough sweetness that syrup was not necessary. My husband got the blueberry and it was loaded. I got the strawberries and cream, and it was perfect, with tons of strawberries. I will definitely go back. The service was excellent, the food was on point, and it's a charming little place to sit and enjoy a good breakfast.
