This is a small town breakfast & lunch restaurant in a the lovely old town of Mount Airy literally…read more5 minutes from Interstate 70. The food was great and the portions were huge. Yes it's slower than the fast food drive thrus because your order is made from scratch. Real home fries perfectly cooked on a hot griddle is a good test. Best of all was our server Ryley working by herself at 7 AM opening. She never stops moving, has a sharp memory and wouldn't let me find the bottom of my coffee cup. The fast food joints are clustered at the I-70 exit if you're rushing through. You will not be disappointed if invest a few more minutes added to your trip and experience a successful small town restaurant. There aren't many like this any more. Just say no to chains and support local small businesses when you can. Thank you Yelp for another gem.

The food was not good. The french toast was burnt on one side squishy toast without any flavor. The…read morebreakfast scramble was uncooked peppers and onions mixed with sausage and a hint of eggs. The grits were decent but barely room temperature. After a 30 minutes wait for food, I was hoping for better but sadly disappointed. 2 wait staff for less than 10 tables and our drinks sat empty for more than half of the time we were there.

Katana Japanese Cuisine is a hidden gem located in a shopping center in Mt. Airy. As we walked in,…read morewe were surprised to see the authentic Japanese decor, and were warmly greeted by the hostess who seated us right away. We went during lunch time, so there was plenty of seating, and only a few parties dining. The service was quick, and friendly. We ordered the kids chicken habachi, Katana roll, Philadelphia roll, and sashimi. We were highly impressed with the servings and how fresh the sushi was. We definitely enjoyed our meals and would love going back to try other items on the menu. Even the kids' chicken habachi was full of flavor that my daughter ate most of her meal, but we still had plenty of left overs.

After such a great meal I'd definitely be down to come back. Their desserts looked really good but…read morewe were too full. I appreciated the orange that the delivered at the end of a meal as a nice palate cleanser. What we got: Fried rice (plain, small) - 4* delicious! I wish it had more veggies and egg but I'd get it again. Stir fried udon with chicken (yakiudon) - 4.5* the flavour was divine and there was a good amount of chicken. Even when I felt full I wanted to keep eating it was so good. I look forward to finishing my leftovers tomorrow. Chicken pad Thai - 4* the perfect combination of sweet and sour. This also came with a good amount of chicken.
