Biscuits and gravy is one of those things I always think sounds good on a menu and I'm always disappointed. At this place I'd say the biscuit was very good and the gravy was okay. Eggs were eggs. Fine. Good hashbrowns. Good coffee. We got a cinnamon roll to share among all of us at our table. It was very good. Hot, soft, fluffy, sweet, yeasty in that good way. I'd call it the highlight of the meal. The various items in the bakery case looked delicious. Cozy, family-friendly interior. We really enjoyed the experience and would definitely return.

I looked at the local Yelp reviews and this sounded good. Our server was friendly and like clockwork when it came to keeping our coffee cups refilled with steaming hot and very good coffee (because it was freezing cold out there baby!). I really enjoyed my steak and eggs. The steak was tender and the eggs were cooked according to my instructions. The inside was decorated with pictures of Illinois' two favorite sports teams - which would be the Cardinals and the Cubs, along with historical references to old Route 66 that had so much influence on these small towns in Southern Illinois. We had a very good meal, great service, and all at a very reasonable cost. I recommend you check this place out.

I had biscuits and gravy and hash brown casserole, they taste like the best homemade you could get. Coffee was perfect, I drank it black. I passed on the baked goods, but I will definitely return here to try them. The atmosphere is definitely different, but it is relaxed and quiet. Almost like a bed and breakfast? But without the bed lol. You walk into a counter, which is also where you order and pay, and where the baked goods are displayed. Server was kind and asked how they could help me and I was confused and thought maybe I went in the wrong entrance lol. The dining area is not visible from the counter. I said I would like to dine in, they took my order at the counter, and directed me to the dining area, which is to the right of the counter past a living space. The dining area is a small, quiet room, which I really enjoyed. Everything was clean, service was great, they were attentive but not overbearing. Price was appropriate. This place is definitely a hidden gem.

The food was freshly cooked, had great flavor and the servers were nice and gave great advice and all. I ordered the country fried steak and my travel partner ordered fried chicken. We both really enjoyed our meals and sharing some of it too! They brought beets, cole slaw, mashed potatoes, green beans and biscuits. And they had some yummy apple butter to put on those biscuits! Niece got a slice of coconut cream and I got blackberry pie! We couldn't possibly eat them after that big meal. We tore into them once we back in STL though and yum! So good! One note, they only take cash and checks. Didn't know there were still places that did that. The waiter made sure we knew as we sat down, there is an on-site ATM if needed.

We had the pulled pork nachos, beer cheese soup, BLT, Cajun chicken tenders with sweet potato fries and the Cajun cole slaw. All was really good. I had the red sangria which was outstanding. I deducted a star, because there seemed to be a lot of confusion with what was coming out, who was bringing it, and where it was. The stars seemed to be getting frustrated with each other and didn't hide it. Other than that one hiccup, nice place and would return.

It is like no other, Courtney and her crew run an amazing store, it is always nice running there for a quick sandwich for lunch. The food is always fresh, the bread is toasted to perfection, yet the toppings on the sandwich itself has that chill factor when taking a bite its a wonderful combination. The Resturant itself is light and airy. There is plenty of seating for all, with high rise tables in the main dining area, and then on the side dining area there is lower tables and adequate space. Courtney should take great pride in this establishment, as i know she does, because this place is fabulous. It is more than just subway, it's a nice little quick meal, served with a smile, and they make you feel like family. Today I had the Philly cheese Steak sandwich on Italian Artisian bread toasted. (Amazinggggg) I also added the Chipotle sauce with pickles that's my personal preference, but it just adds a little kick to it. Thank you for the great lunch
