Have you gone back to a restaurant that you know it wasn't good the previous time? Well the second try was as bad as the first! Now we don't need to complain about price as prices are crazy everywhere, let's talk about $3.50 for coffee $11 for 2eggs 2 & lousy toast I mean when bread is so old it's falling apart.. tax and all before tip apx $16 to leave hungry.. over at Hulu across parking lot the linguica skillet with fresh peppers / onions/ tomatoes/ cheese and potatoes / toast & coffee $13 before tip ... what's the better meal ? At the end as a treat tiny ice cream the comparison is to show meals cost more but for $20 all in you don't have to leave hungry my fault for assuming the "farmers breakfast " 2/2/2 with include some potatoes & be real breakfast nasty toast to boot no bueno read more

It's a small homey place which was comfortable and relaxed. The food was delicious and listening to the other guests, it's visited often by many locals.

This is my favorite place for breakfast no competition. Even if the food was horrible the ladies that work there are all so nice I would still come back, seriously the sweetest group. The chef is the egg master! I like over medium well, he makes it perfect every single time. Just like the name their waffles are amazing too. And back to the service, there is no waiting for anything. They're on their A game here for sure. I can't say enough good things about this place. read more

Talk about good country cooking! We ordered the chicken tenders with fries, which was done just right! The chicken was crispy flaky (not greasy) and tasted like real chicken, unlike other places. The fries here are really good too, right crunch, crisp and thickness, and tastes great with BBQ sauce. The patty melt while a little messy was not too greasy, unlike other places. The bread has the right mount of crisp and softness, not soggy at all! The amount of meat and cheese was just the right amount & the sandwich comes with a pickle on the side. The outside or inside may not look like much, but if you want good service and a smiling face to hand you a good, hearty, comforting meal on your way to Yosemite, stop on by! read more

This is a staple for my family. Best breakfast in the area. Great food especially the specials. also ask about the salsa. It is only there sometimes but it is special. Also I can't say this enough, but best wait staff anywhere. Whether you are a regular or your first time you are welcomed as if you are family. The employees are one of the reasons we keep coming back. I don't live in the area but I find any excuse to make my way over for breakfast. Only downside is due to the size may have to wait but trust me it is worth it. read more

Small Town Diner Appeal. Farm town fancy with a great selection. The servers are friendly and always smiling (smiles are contagious and you can take them to go, at no extra charge). Bring your appetite and patience. It's busy between 9-11 and only open until 3 (still worth the wait). My bride always orders her, "make your own omelet". It's light fluffy and full of flavor (yeah, salt and spice to suit you). I always get the chicken fried steak meal (freshly cooked with eggs and hash browns. Note: a man's appetite is needed to tackle this meal.) We ride our bikes Teri this farm town to enjoy our meal and back home to work it off. Stop by and fill up (it's cheaper than a take of gas). read more

April was amazing, she waited on 6-7 tables with parties of two up to six. Can't forget the amazing cooks, food was delicious, hot, and fast.
