    Love this place. Good food, nice sized portions, friendly wait staff. Like you've gone back in time. Quaint little place in a quaint little town just 7 minutes away from our home. Good strong coffee, nice juicy bacon, biscuits and gravy. I'm getting a chili and cheese omelet today. Great find!

    What a great dinner!!! Very clean and very friendly. Small dinning area but it was perfect. Everything tasted very fresh and delicious. Food came out quickly. The restrooms were very clean and it was a great stop to eat. Recommend this place if you are driving down this area. Coffee was also tasty. My husband was very happy with the cheeseburger.

    Did I hike @Old Glory Peak nearby and this cafe is Conveniently located nearby on the main road. So coming here was planned. Of course we looked it up on Yelp before going ahead, so had an idea of what to order. Upon looking at the menu, it was nice to see a good amount of selection for anyone with certain cravings. I already had it in my head the Banana Crunch French toast which completely hit the spot. They offer a half size but I'm glad I stuck with the full size which completely satiated my craving. It is small inside but that is what makes it quaint and fits perfectly with the aesthetic of the town. There was one other party in there when we arrived but before we left. I would say it was at seventy five percent capacity by the time we finished. It being small, you'll be close sitting close to other people and hear their conversations. Not really a big deal for us. It seemed as though it was just one server and one cook and another guy bussing and watching over the place. But makes sense that's all they need for the size of the cafe. Service was good, inside is nice. Food selection is good. Wouldn't mind coming back and trying something else, even though the French toast I got was great. Only thing was the tuna melt was whatever. Would say pass on that. But an overall nice, post hike food option.

    Solid food, amazing service by Sandra. Quiet and calm ambience, it's a small town diner. The chicken fried steak was a little bit too hard to chew for me, but it seems like almost everything is scratch made.

    Eggs and machaca

    The food was absolutely delicious, and the friendly service made the experience even better. The prices are really reasonable, and the generous portion sizes ensure you leave satisfied.

    Country fried steak

    The stars are simply for the service. The 2 female waitresses were very friendly and attentive. The food was horrible. Hands down the WORST country fried steak I've ever had. There was almost no breading and what was there was soggy. The meat was hard. Literally tough to cut through. I only took 2 bites of that. My boyfriend agreed how terrible it was. The country potatoes were plain. Most places cook them with onions and peppers, not here. Barely seasoned. The eggs and toast were fine. But I mean, it's eggs and toast. Overall I wouldn't come here again. Even with the friendly service.

    Wow, so delicious! Drove three towns over because Ive heard nothing but good things about this…read moreplace and the drive was worth it. The calamari was top notch and the cocktail sauce was amazing. It made me want to order more items that go with cocktail sauce just so I could eat the sauce. My son had the meat lovers pizza and it was almost movie like with how the cheese pulled. The dough was great and the toppings tasted very fresh. I had the Italian grinder with potato salad. The meat cuts were nice and thick and I enjoyed the parm bread. The potato salad, out of this world. I haven't had such good potato salad since my gramma was alive. She'd love it for sure. The service was awesome and on point. It was a very friendly atmosphere. The deserts looked good but we didn't have room left to try. I'll get the desert to-go next time. 10 out of 10 will go again

Their burger really satisfied my burger craving. The bun was perfectly toasted, patty was juicy, and veggies fresh. Their french fries were crispy and not overly salty. My family opted for the burger/sandwich of the day -- French dip with side of homemade chips. Their chips were crunchy and not too oily, but they were a tad salty for me. They had a display of many different locally made desserts (cakes, cupcakes, cookies), although they're not made in house. Staff is very friendly. They check in often and our water cups never hit empty. They have parking spaces on both sides of their building.

    We live very close to this place, and it never disappoints. It's really clean. The staff are lovely…read moreand I've never had a bad meal there. Yes it's pretty basic but what they do, they do really well. We decided to go for breakfast. I ordered three eggs, any style with hashbrowns and toast. This was $12.54. I do not eat meat and often times having just eggs is not even an option.. I asked for my toast to be well toasted and all of this was executed well. The eggs were cooked as I had ordered, there was not a hint of grease on the plate. There was no taste of stale fat which you often get when the kitchen are not changing the oil as often as they should. My toast was very brown as I had asked, often times I'll ask for well toasted bread and it will come out not well toasted at all! I server told me that the owner had cooked my breakfast, which I guess is an honor lol My boyfriend ordered a breakfast burrito $13.48 with added chilis and he said it was very tasty. The icing on the cake is they have several TVs in there and the tennis channel was on and there was some live tennis going on, so we enjoyed watching that, sitting at the bar. We will be back probably during the French Open so we can watch more tennis!
