The restaurant has plenty of seating inside, creating a cozy vibe for enjoying your food, plus there are easy to-go options for those on the run.

The homemade blackberry pie paired perfectly with our homemade ice cream at the lake. On our last visit, we treated ourselves to a freshly made chicken quesadilla that was loaded with flavor and paired perfectly with some zesty salsa. The chicken wrap was just as good, packed with juicy grilled chicken, crunchy veggies, and a tasty sauce, making it a meal we couldn't get enough of.

The fries were absolutely perfect, fries to order, sprinkled with a seasoning that's really very good. Don't skip the fries!

She changed hours from staying open for dinner every night (helpful in a small town), to 7-2, like several other places. I seldom eat there because I don't usually get out early. But today gave it another chance, eggs were served over medium instead of easy and the sausage was a little underdone. 2 people trying to serve a busy restaurant says to me that they intentionally understaff in spite of Sunday crowds. Not blaming the staff, but service suffered for it, to put it mildly. It's a shame when they used to be so good.

We were also entertained by the locals, coming in and out and very friendly to folks who were obviously from out of town.
