The menu, though limited, showcases a range of delectable homemade options. The eggs are truly outstanding. Hashbrowns are cooked to perfection, but the true standout is the biscuits and gravy, paired with top-quality sausage. As the saying goes, 'chefs kiss,' I was inclined to try their Bloody Mary but opted for my classic coffee instead, which was remarkably flavorful. The service went above and beyond!! I strongly recommend this restaurant and intend to revisit.

Naturally I thought dry and warmth would be my favorite thing but the second I walked in it was friendly and fun. And did not see it coming...the Haystack breakfast was like nothing I've ever seen and the homemade donuts made me call the chef to rave about them. You must be know for your donuts and I blundered into them by sheer fate!

This holds up that interesting adage that little local places in the middle of nowhere are awesome. I had their Earls burger, and while just a little more done than I normally pursue, the flavor was spot on. Better yet were the tater tots that were absolutely dreamy. They have bands playing regularly, and a friendly staff that makes you feel like a local. It's a haul, but I'm thinking I'll be back again sometime soon.

One of the best parts of the Katy Trail is you blend remote, pure nature, with surprising and fun little stops that pop up throughout the journey. We had zero idea that the KT Caboose had been taken over and was open for business, but man, we were very pleasantly surprised. Not only is it on brand, being a caboose on the former rail line, it's like it was truly made for cyclists needing a nice pit stop. Shady umbrellas, trail views, and nice restrooms make this a total win. We got some ice cream and French press coffee, two of my favorite things in the world. It was wonderful, and I want to emphasize that what I am about to say is not a typo: it was *UNDER* priced. Yes, you read that right. In an era where grocery bills seem to add +$30 every week, and my old Amazon staples have all doubled, this place was actually underpriced. I don't remember exactly but an ice cream sundae with fresh fruit, several cups of coffee, and a big ice cream waffle cone were well under ten bucks. Johnny, feel free to bump them up a bit because we want you to make enough and to stay open for many years, otherwise we'll leave continue to just leave some extra as a tip for you next time in. There aren't a ton of places on the Katy since it's so rural and spread out, but with spots like Meriweather Cafe back west in Rocheport, and this spot, they really shine bright and make an impact. Grateful to have them and can't wait to be back in on our June ride!

I felt like it could have used a tomato jam or something - something to offer some acidity to the mix. The Covered Wagon (a breakfast burrito, smothered in gravy) was very good! We both agreed it needed spice or more seasoning. My husband added lots of pepper and some Tabasco sauce (that's the only sauce they had available, plus salt and pepper).
