I'm not sure how I just found this place, but I'm so glad I did! There was a short wait when I…read morearrived, but the tables turned over quickly. The host worked to get everyone seated as quickly as he could. A server was at the table almost immediately for our drink order, and they were served in no time. There is quite a selection of breakfast and lunch items to choose from, and I settled on The Classic. I really liked the option for a small cake instead of toast, and I enjoyed that tremendously! The ham steak was thick, juicy, and flavorful, and the eggs were scrambled perfectly. The hash browns were a little bland, and I would rather have had an option for breakfast potatoes instead. But the meal was good and reasonably priced for the portions. For those who like coffee, there is a wide selection of options. The place is cozy inside with warm colors and all of the workers were extremely friendly in their interactions with customer. I felt very welcome and the table was well taken care of throughout the meal. The restaurant itself is nestled in a strip mall off the main street, so it isn't something I would know was there if I were just driving by. But now that I know it is here, I will definitely make a return trip to try additional items on the menu that caught my attention (I'm looking at you apple and blueberry bread, cinnamon rolls, and crake!)

First time we're able to try out this restaurant. Overall pleasant experience. Cozy restaurant,…read moresmall so expect a wait during normal breakfast and brunch hours (beware of people trying to cut in front of you in line ‍). The food was delicious! If you love eggs, a breakfast meat, and home style potatoes, this is your place. Nothing fancy but good if you want a tried and true breakfast. Because it's a little smaller, you feel a little rushed to eat and get out so others can enjoy a breakfast as well. What was a little odd was that it seamed that the staff uniforms were scrub tops, like those they wear in the medical field. I think if they had an option to wear what they want to, they might be more comfortable. Either way, the service was so polite and so efficient! You will have to try it out for yourself if this is the restaurant for you.

Finding GOOD vegan breakfast options can be hard, but they absolutely nail it here. The new menu item vegan chick'n & waffles is delicious but my favorite thing to order is the vegan biscuits and gravy with a side of tofu scramble and putting the scramble right on top of the biscuits... 10/10 every time. Huge portions, flavorful food, and great prices. My husband is obsessed too. He gets the little chicken biscuit with cheese and onions on his hash browns and says it's one of the best breakfasts he's ever had. The staff is always super nice and the outdoor seating is a great touch. Only thing to note is you order at the counter, so bigger groups may get food at slightly different times, but honestly it's worth it. Definitely recommend checking this place out!

We ordered drinks and took a look at the menu. There is a variety of offerings, and all-day breakfast for those so inclined. Drinks were good, and we got in our food orders. The offerings came out very quickly (I'm sure the cook was happy to have some orders!), and food was very good. I got the Gyro and my wife got the Fried Taco. Both were fresh and stuffed full of the fillings. I really liked the cole slaw, and my wife got baked beans that were deliciuous as well! Six TVs at the bar for the various sports offerings, and a nice sized bar with additonal indoor and outdoor tables. Very, very reasonable prices and great food and service!

Like the saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover. I was not disappointed. The food was amazing! I had the ham omelette with hash browns and a pancake! The ham omelette had cheese, onions, and peppers which was the perfect combination of flavors. And the hash browns were cooked perfectly extra crispy, just like I like them. The pancake...omg it was thick, fluffy, and delicious! They made sure to add plenty of butter - chefs kiss! The vibes inside were laid back with soft music playing in the background. Plenty of seating as well. The service was a little slow but the overall experience made up for it. Oh and the price can't be beat, I got all of that food for around $10!! I know, I can't believe it! Bomb food for cheap, pinch me! Not sure why the diner wasn't packed out, but don't worry, I will be back!
