    Lunch menu
    Matthew B.

    Big breakfast, very delicious, and the staff was pleasantly polite. Four of us each ordered something different and each of us loved our meals.

    Half order biscuits and gravy with potatoes and coffee.
    Kimberly D.

    The food was good, it was a great portion and the temperature was perfect. Service was excellent. Dalton was friendly, patient and such a nice person. Ambiance was comfortable and it wasn't too crowded when I was there. I only wish I wasn't seated at a table in the middle of the room since I was eating alone. But otherwise it was nice. I would definitely say this is a place I would come back to eat and I highly recommend it!

    Traditional breakfast features

    I like the menu and I hate the prices. We were seated in a glassed in dining area inside the dining room which I think was really neat. The drink menu does not list one single price. It's making me suspicious that the prices are changed on a whim. I ordered from the traditional portion of the menu. 2 eggs with meat. With the choices of ham steak, bacon or 2 sausage patties for my meat I selected bacon. Between biscuit, grits or toast I selected the biscuit. It was BIG. Flavor wise it was just okay, pretty doughy to me. I ordered my egg over hard and it came out soft which equals inedible for my taste buds. In the "Traditional Breakfast" portion of the menu it suggested that I ask for sausage gravy so I did. It wasn't spiced up or flavorful in any way and there was also an up charge for the gravy that the server did not bother to mention. For people with hearty breakfast appetites this is a good place to try as the portions are generous.

    What a pleasant place for breakfast! We had a party of seven and they were very accommodating, the waitlist feature helped to warn them we were on the way. We ordered a variety of pancakes, scrambles and biscuits. The table was quiet, a sign everyone enjoyed their meals. I had Jim's Platter which hit the spot with biscuits and gravy, eggs, and potatoes. I sure wish our server's name didn't escape me, she was fantastic! My nephew wanted to know if we could visit again the next morning, so I'd say it was a success!

    The Big Biscuit isn't quite as good as the original in Independence MO, but it's a good close second for a great breakfast!

This place…read moreis more of a greasy spoon diner than a typical chain restaurant, but it operates kind of like a chain, at least menu-wise. The staff were having conversations that weren't really appropriate for the patrons to hear. Our waitress didn't seem like she wanted to work or maybe she was annoyed that they seated us with her, idk. Refills took forever, so that was also frustrating. The bathroom left something to be desired- it was small and not the cleanest. The food was typical diner food, nothing to write home about. I personally don't care to go back, but my husband probably would if he was in the area. The whole place seemed a bit dirty, dingy, and in serious need of updating. Not a fan.

The burger fries looked amazing and my mom raved about them. I LOVED my roast beef. I haven't had it in a while and have never ordered it in a restaurant. I'm glad I did. The meat was nice and tender, the gravy savory and luscious. I would order it again in a heartbeat. They had lots of dessert offerings but we were too full to try any of them. The restaurant is large. It looks nice inside and has room for almost any size of group. The service was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this place for a delicious, homestyle meal. Come check this restaurant out!

    I'm really not sure where to start with this review. It wasn't a pleasant experience at all. I saw…read morephotos of the food on Yelp and thought this might be a good dive or greasy spoon style diner to have lunch at with my husband, since I was in the area. We met there and the outside aesthetic alone should've warned us off. To start, the exterior of the building was quite worn down, the windows were dark and dirty, and the sign was broken. If it weren't for the cars parked outside and for the fact that I called ahead to ensure they were open, we would've thought they were closed for business, permanently. We enter the building lobby, for lack of a better word, and proceed into the dining room. The first step into the dining room was me stepping into a literal hole that is covered with a rubber mat. That's a definite hazard. I couldn't believe that they'd just cover it with a mat. That's really dangerous. At that point, I was really starting to rethink staying. We walk further in and there is this atrocious, sour, vomit-inducing stench that billows throughout the room. It slaps you in the face and takes your breath away, and it's covered by a very strong pine smell. Again, I'm contemplating leaving but my husband didn't want to make a scene. The place is FILTHY! And I don't mean filthy as in someone spilled food and didn't clean it up. I'm talking decades of grease, dirt, bacteria, etc. covering the floor and furniture. You could take a putty knife and chisel up layers of gunk from the floor. There was even a sign that said something like- "Wipe tables down each night- Alli". I'm paraphrasing, but that was the gist. If you have to tell your staff that.... ugh... We get to the table and I didn't even want to touch the chair to sit, let alone stay there and eat, but I didn't want to leave right after we entered the place. I was hoping (praying) the food would be worth it... The waitress comes over to take our drink order and brings the drinks back pretty quickly. The cup felt like it hadn't been washed, ever... It had a layer of grime on the outside. Say you cooked something greasy at home and let the greasy dish soak in the sink for a day, but a cup fell into the pan and soaked with it overnight. When you pick it up the next day and the grease is stuck to the side of it- that's what it felt like. I would've asked for a new cup, but I knew in my gut that the next one wouldn't be any better. It's like they run their dishes through a dishwasher that only has cold water and no hot water. Bleh. They take our food order and I'm quite literally praying that we don't get sick from eating here. Why I stayed, I have no idea. I guess I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. The waitresses seemed like they had their own issues and I didn't want to add to it. The food comes out and and it's time to eat. My burger was ok at first, clearly a frozen patty but I'm giving it a shot. Then I taste something off and stop eating it. My fries... I just can't even... a few of them were ok, but then I got to some that tasted like they had been fried in a deep fryer that had been used for years without being cleaned or having the grease replaced. My burger also tasted like it was cooked on a filthy grill. My husband couldn't stomach the place and only ate the things on his plate that he thought couldn't make him sick. We got the ticket, paid, and left as quickly as we could without being too obvious or rude. It's a little restaurant that is clearly struggling. This place was beyond 'dive' or 'greasy spoon' status. There's no possible way that this restaurant is safe to eat at. I honestly don't know how they ever pass the health inspection. The level of dirty here is not something that can be cleaned up the day before inspection day, just to get this dirty again between inspections. It must never, ever, be cleaned, or the inspector is blind, literally. As you can guess, we will never be eating here again and I don't recommend that you do either.

    Again third year in a row they did not disappoint food was fresh, fast service. Not bad for a…read moresmall off the beaten path home grown diner. My recommendation is to give it a try and you won't be disappointed.
