When it comes to Mediterranean food & it's my first visit, 9 times out of 10 I'm trying the Falafel. That's what I went with here with a baklava for something sweet. The falafel is HUGE. I enjoyed the tahini sauce (I might mess around & ask for extra next time). Plenty of pickles in every bite. I splashed some hot sauce here & there to take it up a notch. I'd order it again. The baklava was good & had a distinctive taste. It didn't taste like the baklavas I'm used to (not in a bad way). It might've been as certain spice or the type of honey/syrup they used. It was a good way to cap off my meal. The place was busy! I ended up eating outdoors, surprisingly, it was well shaded. The menu is massive, there's plenty to choose from.

They had an additional list on top of what is on the menu. I chose a flavor I've never had in pie form. The German chocolate pie and it was very tasty. I loved the pecans and coconut.

The lunch portion of chicken fried chicken I received was on the large side. It was seasoned very well, and I loved the seasonings. The meat was so tender and juicy!

There were lots of servers, so we were well taken care of, but I felt rushed through the meal. We had not been in before, so it took some time to decide what we wanted. The menu is a little hard to follow with some things listed on a menu board on the wall (that no one pointed out to us). The waitress came back like every two minutes asking if we were ready, so we just felt a little rushed through that process. The food itself was hit and miss.

Chicken is their name, but the menu covers everything you would expect in a small-town diner. Breakfast was our meal of choice today. They lay a plate of breakfast goodness on the table here! My usual again today, check the pictures. Everything cooked perfectly as ordered. The honorable mention awards on the plate go to the bacon and the gravy. The bacon cooked crisp, the way I like it. Not for everyone's taste; it works for me. This was crisp bacon, country smoke house thick cut. Sturdy and crisp enough that I could use it as a knife cut the eggs up. Or maybe even use it to butter toast. Yeah, I liked it. The gravy appears to be real, homemade. If it was a mix, then the cook gave it some extra love with sausage drippings. It was good. A big clean restaurant, Excellent friendly service. Easy access. Today's Café table top advertisement winner is Larry's Body Works. Not an especially creative or catchy ad, but I liked the picture of Larry's Rat Rod!
