This place is just wonderful. It has a calm and cozy atmosphere and vibe when you walk in. The…read morestaff are warm and welcoming, ready to help. Now, I love a good breakfast and brunch place, especially when it isn't a crowded chain place. This place fits that bill. It is a local place with two locations. The menu is brilliantly "evil" making it extremely difficult to choose just one dish to try. They all look amazing and delicious, so of course, you will need to visit more than once to enjoy all that they have to offer. During my visit, I tried their cinnamon roll pancakes with eggs and bacon. Oh boy are they incredible! The pancakes just melt in your mouth, full of flavor. The eggs were a classic standard of scrambled eggs and the bacon I ordered crispy as I like a good crunch. My companion ordered the Hobo Scramble and just loved it. She made sure to take some home to enjoy for a second time. All in all, I enjoyed my experience and look forward to my next visit and delicious meal.

Menu is expansive and everything looked good. I chose the mile high omelet and a smoreo pancake as an upgrade. Omelet was ok...pancake was good, very rich.

And smells clean. The waitress was very nice.. Now the only thing I seen was instead of just standing behind the register, she needed to be straighting the chairs. Yes the place was clean but even if the chairs are misaligned it makes the place look trashy. I will gladly go back and eat there again. That is another plus for miss picky me.

Gayle and I stopped in today after reading about it within some "48 hours in Ames" article. I ordered a brisket grilled cheese sandwich, while Gayle chose a similar one with blackberry flavoring. We split a can of Guinness off the convenience store fridge, and then sat outside for our street and car wash view. We had nice shade on a not too hot day and took the opportunity to hang out bit after we finished our meal. This was a tasty and pleasant experience of good value overall.

The food came out simultaneously within minutes. If you're expecting traditional comfort food, I would say this is a good place to stop. I would say it feels like a Denny's but a tad more homemade. To make it a 5 star I would say it needs a little more ambiance, and a little more down-home charm. Also, the food should be brought out in waves, not all at once, but if that's the only complaint, you know it's not too bad.
