    1/2 Tuna Sandwich toasted, with sweet potato fries, pickle and ranch dressing.

    The food here is really great. I had a 1/2 tuna sandwich with sweet potato fries and a side salad, and everything was delicious and very filling. It's a hidden gem in Apply Valley. If you haven't been, you should go and try it. A+++++

    Two most hard working young ladies. Those smiles are so genuine  excellent customer service. Sweetest girls

    Food is tasty and quantity is overflowing these two beautiful young ladies were wonderful they gave us excellent customer service and with sincere smiles I recommend everything. Today we had biscuits and gravy country breakfast husband had skillet breakfast. The other day we had french toast so yummy too!

    Prices are slightly high, but portions are very large (sometimes I wish restaurants would sell smaller portions - like 2 eggs omelets instead of 3 - at a cheaper price). Very friendly staff, the service is however a bit slow. I like the western decor and the vibe. There are patio seating options (50% under the sun so bring your hat and sunscreen!) The food was good but nothing spectacular. My potatoes were on the dryer side, slightly under seasoned. The French toast was good, just overly sweet. Go there if you crave large breakfasts! I would go back to try their lunch.

    Still one of our best places to eat breakfast, lunch or brunch. There sometimes will be a waiting line but their fast about 5-10 mins which shows their quality. Their waitresses or waiters are very friendly and make good recommendations. The food is served quickly and hot. Has a lot of locals and customers from aways like us. 35 miles while in the area.

    Wow! So good! Be prepared for a bit of a wait to be seated because they are busy but it's 100% worth the wait! Once ordered the food comes out fast! The food...... omg delicious and so much food! Huge portions! I had the pumpkin bread with mine. The best I've ever had! We all loved everything. The decor is rustic and looks perfect.

    Huge cinnamon role!

    I've been here once before but that was YEARS ago so this felt like the first time. We got there at about 1pm, they close at 2pm. We could *feel* the rush. We were hurried to a table and immediately asked about drinks. Server showed up soon after and asked if we were ready to order. She was speaking fast, wrote everything down, then we noticed her rushing around the restaurant to her tables. I understand hurrying within that last hour but it made us feel rushed. We were all still eating when we received the check. On the food; the corned beef was OK. A bit dry but it seems to be popular here. I ordered the ranch potatoes and an egg, and grabbed a cinnamon roll to go. The cinnamon roll was not heated up so I received it wrapped in cling film inside a box and it had a side of soft butter with it. The potatoes were alright but unseasoned. Large hearty chunks of potato with some green bell pepper and onion. I would have liked this to have some more crispy edges; the crispy parts are the best. I enjoyed them anyway. The cinnamon roll was taken home and heated up later. It became gooey and sticky and was delicious! I don't understand the butter with it so didn't use that. If anything I would have liked more icing on the side, but this was good though. It's a "cinnamon pecan roll" and at first I thought they were missing a pecan topping or something, but when eating it I found all the good stuff on the inside layers! The food was fine. Cinnamon roll was my favorite part. The service made us feel rushed and we were out of there around 1:30 so there was still time before closing even after we left. This visit didn't make me want to go back.

    Pot roast with mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables.
    Anisha S.

    The service was super nice, the restaurant was a little cramped but for a small cafe it was nice. The food was absolutely delicious, the pot roast was cooked and seasoned just right. Highly recommend this place when it's open. The slim hours may lead it to being packed but it's worth it.

    Cowboy Skillet with biscuits and gravy

    Hometown environment. Great service! Tasty Café experience! Definitely come here again.

    Delectable meal. Of the highest earthly quality, fresh from the wombs of Da Nang. The expertise on…read morethe Pho is beyond incredible. The aroma, the texture, the broth brimming with flavor, the added toppings, all formed the concrete masterpiece of a Pho. But let's get into depth, because the paragraph above did not display the true depth of it's greatness. Let's say your friend recommended you a Vietnamese restaurant. You tried a few prior but most of them were mediocre. So you were hesitant but decided to give it a try. When you went up to the entrance, you took a half-a-second peek. The entire restaurant was clean like the slate of a canvas. Once you stepped inside, your nostrils embraced the fresh smell. Even before you could have the opportunity to take a good in-depth look around, that smell made you know everything. You knew it was going to be clean and sparkly, hygienic and orderly. You knew it was going to be a refreshing spot, and you were right! And afterwards, recovering from the intense first impression, you were greeted with welcoming staff, guided to a shiny wooden table, seated on a comfortable chair, and had the ability to choose from a menu filled with variety of meals worth slobbering your tongues over for. You looked at the menu, drool escaping your mouth, frothing perhaps? Whatever, what was important was that you saw utopia. The meals displayed as mere pictures and words already gave you a preview of near future delight, that increment, that sample was almost enough to satisfy the chimeras of your imagination, apart from the actual consumption of-course. Once you ordered, the pearly smile of the waiter inspired hope, like a promise your wishes were to be fulfilled, and there, you dallied with the scenarios. You dallied with how you would greet your meal, that good good Pho... how you would approach it, shake it's hand with the tips of your chopsticks, and slurp it up. You fiddled with your thoughts for quite some time! But suddenly, there! Here she was walking towards you, the same waiter. After 10 minutes of anticipation, the relentless tapping of the leg excited for it's treat, you finally received it. Boxed into a clean bowl, you got to whiff the contents. You prepared your sticks, and dived right into it! Headfirst! The long noodles were whirled into your mouth, you could feel the slimy texture. The smell of the broth, the taste of the broth, the pork, the toppings, the little onions, it was heaven on earth and you witnessed it first hand! After a while, you finished the bowl. You devoured the last pieces, and poured the rest of the broth into your mouth. You took a napkin and wiped your pho-broth-smothered lips and gave a "whoo!" expressing your content. You paid the bill and gave a 15$ tip and walked slowly out the restaurant, taking your time just to slowly hug the smell of your beloved diner, as if it was goodbye. Your hands reached the door handle, a tear welled up in your eye as you gave a quick look back. There was the waiter, there was your ex-table, there was the rest of the smiling staff and the enjoying guests. You mouthed "farewell" and took a step back into the real world, free from the dreams of cuisine. "Will I ever get to see you again?" You heard yourself utter. That was my experience. As you can see. Thank you for everything To Pho.

    I hate to write this, but my first time there will be the last. I ordered the Orange Chicken Rice…read moreBowl and asked if I could have fried rice instead of steamed rice. No, I could place a second order to get the fried rice. Ok, whatever, I'll take the steamed rice. The Orange Chicken was like rubber. I tried to bite a piece in half and it wouldn't pull apart, so the whole piece went in my mouth and I had to use my fingers to pull it apart which was embarrassing on a first date! It didn't taste good either. I looked for a knife in the plastic silverware, but there was none. I then went for a bite of the rice and it was so stuck together that I really had to jam my fork into it. It had no flavor at all and I was not offered any kind of sauce for it. I got some salt, but it didn't help. It had obviously been in a cup and turned over on a plate (there was no bowl) so I don't see why they couldn't have substituted the fried rice. The carrots were rubbery too. The only thing half way good was the broccoli. I opted for water to drink because I couldn't see paying over $6 for flavored ice tea. I didn't want my date to feel bad for buying me such a horrible meal, so I managed to get a couple of bites down. He asked if I wanted a box. No, but I said yes, again not wanting him to feel bad. I tried the Orange Chicken again when I got home, using my paring knife, and it was still so bad that I threw the whole thing away. There were only 6-8 people in the place, but it was so noisy that I had to keep asking my date to repeat what he said because I couldn't hear him. I was looking forward to a new place to eat and the online menu looked so great... How sad.

I normally do not like fried or grilled tofu but this was different. Nice crunch on the outside and super creamy on the inside. They have a pink sauce in little packets and it is really good on the crunchy tofu. Not too sweet and just the right flavor. I also had a mango green tea with Boba. Of course it was delicious just the right amount of mango but it was sweet. The second time I visited I tried the shrimp chow mein and the crunchy tofu again and I tried peach black tea with Boba. The tea was delicious and sweet but really nice. I'm not sure how you could make that horrible. The shrimp chow mein was just OK to me. The noodles seemed gummy and I'm not used to that. We also had the sautéed gyoza. The first batch came out burnt, but they were very nice and very accommodating when we brought them back and they brought us another order that was perfect and delicious. By the way we ordered vegetarian Gyoza and it was surprisingly good. I have also had the Ramen at this restaurant and it is also excellent . Many choices and they're really good about cooking what you need. This is not a fancy place but the food is great and the girls at the order desk are really sweet!
