    Brenda is a modern day hero. Absolute coffee magician. Place seconds as a comedy club and I'm here for it. Cinnamon rolls hit.

    Great food, friendly people. It just needs faster service. Went there for lunch (drive thru) took 15 minutes or a little more.

    We were so excited to pull up to this restaurant. The front of the building was decorated with the…read moreimages of the original owners which made it look so interesting. Stepping inside felt like a step back in time to about the "60's or 70's. So much of the original decor is included in the design of the restaurant including the old ice boxes and tin ceiling. The staff was very friendly, although our waiter seemed to have another task he was trying to finish so we didn't get much attention. We went for breakfast and ordered nothing special- straight off the menu. It took almost 45 minutes to get our food and the restaurant was not busy at all. That is what made the experience frustrating. Fortunately the food was really good. The sausage is homemade and delicious. The hash browns and eggs were cooked perfectly. They only take cash or checks so be prepared.

    We came early on a Saturday morning for breakfast. Interesting facts: If you order eggs, bacon,…read moretoast, hash browns they all may arrive in a 5-minute window on separate plates. Between all the plates and saucers for coffee cups and creamer there was barely any room left on our table. Another tidbit: If you're under 50, you may very well be the youngest customer in the place. Great for those wanting to feel young again. The whole BUILDING was old and extremely dated, but appeared to be clean. Food was fine, nothing notable in my opinion but it did the job. The sausage appeared to be homemade, which is unusual. Pancakes were mediocre. Hash browns crispy on the outside. The servers seemed to enjoy sitting at the dining counter socializing, looking at their phones while not working- but they were friendly and I didn't think service was slow like others have written.

    After a long day of driving we decided to stop for the night and ended up eating at The Ranch. We…read moreboth opted to have the Salad Bar for dinner and it didn't disappoint. Lots of variety and the chili was very good. (The salad bar came with 2 soup options). The waitress was very nice and checked on us several times. I loved the decor, very Ranch with country but in a good way. We would definitely go back if we're ever that way again.

    I enjoyed a really nice breakfast at the Ranch this past Sunday, although I was somewhat…read moreapprehensive upon arriving and seeing the overflowing parking lot and all the people standing in the entryway. That apprehension was short lived as I watched watch party after party get escorted quickly to their table. Our waitress showed us to our table and immediately took our drink order. The drinks were delivered in a short time and our breakfast order was taken. We LOVED our waitress. She was very personable and friendly but even more than that she helped us navigate the menu to best suit our "custom" requests. The wait for food was a little lengthier but we enjoyed a nice time chatting and people watching a bit. The restaurant was absolutely packed due to softball tournaments this weekend but the team at The Ranch seemed to be handling it pretty well. Our food arrived and it was all absolutely delicious. I rarely can eat a full plate of breakfast but I sure did clean my plate this time. I had hashbrowns that were cooked nicely browned and crispy in the edges. My over medium egg was also cooked perfectly. The sausage gravy was tasty but I do think it was canned which was slightly disappointing but considering all the positives it surely didn't dim the experience.

    I hear this place gets busy during boating season, so we tried to get in before things got crazy…read more We walked in on a Wednesday morning in June around 10:30, were greeted immediately, and the service was helpful and well-paced. The menu was pretty simple, with nothing too crazy. The most exciting thing on the menu to me is the Cinnamon Roll French Toast - I will need to surprise my wife some of those someday! I ordered the more giant biscuits and gravy with two pancakes. It was too much to finish in one meal, so I grabbed a box. It was good, but it wasn't anything extraordinary. It tasted exactly how I would expect pancakes and biscuits & gravy to be! I'm going to have to try again in the future and do something different to figure out what the locals go crazy for, but for my first visit, it seemed like a typical spot that seemed to be reliable.

    This café used to be a favorite breakfast spot, but a recent visit was disappointing from start to…read morefinish. Despite the restaurant being nearly empty, the service felt curt and unwelcoming, beginning with a confusing interaction as we entered and continuing throughout the meal. The food quality was also below expectations, with overcooked eggs and poorly prepared sides. Most notably, there was little hospitality--no check-ins, no coffee refill without our request, and difficulty even getting the bill. After many years of positive experiences here, this visit stood out for all the wrong reasons and was disappointing enough to make longtime customers reconsider returning.
