I don't recall the name, but it was eggs, bacon, half order of biscuits and gravy, and toast. I loved the toast. Texas toast, browned on the griddle. My bacon was crispy upon request. The biscuit wasn't my fav, it was a bit chewy. And I prefer my scrambled eggs on the less done side, but I get that isn't for everyone. On the sign outside, potato soup was the special of the day, so I got a cup to go. To my surprise it also included a side salad or grilled cheese. I went in with the salad and both were great! (Added my now croutons) A couple days later I stopped in for lunch and decided on a bacon cheese burger and fries. I loved it. The burger was a decent size, hot and juicy. The fries were crispy, which is my preference. Great ranch to dip! I had the same server both days and she was fabulous(I think her name started with an E). I definitely recommend stoping by if you're in the area! It's homey with comfy seating.

The fried chicken takes 25 minutes to cook. Just walk in the door and order it first thing. It's worth the wait- better than all the other places.

Everything was fantastic. We had breakfast on a Saturday. The place was packed but we still got…read morefantastic service and our food fairly quickly. My husband got the breakfast burrito which he demolished and I got the Philly omelette which was packed full of meat and cheese. We split the cinnamon roll waffle which has a cream cheese icing to die for. It's the best waffle we've ever had. I watched many fantastic looking goodies getting delivered to other tables. We will definitely return to try some of the other mouth watering options. Staff was attentive and super sweet. Glasses stayed full and we left stuff. The abbey is a beautiful building. Historical photos line the walls. It is definitely a worthy day trip. Don't forget to grab some baked goods to go. They have bread a pastries.
