(Delicious also) Yummy honey mustard and ranch also. Cole slaw was perfect too. We had so much leftover--no complaints. Great experience. We will be back!

As soon as I stepped through the door, I was greeted by not one, but two very friendly waitresses. There's only seating for about 36 people, but the place was immaculate and decorated with cute, snarky little signs "like not my circus, not my monkeys." There were 12 people enjoying their breakfast when I arrived so it looks like a good local spot. Ordered a breakfast burrito with sausage, eggs, cheese, and a side of sausage cream gravy to dip it in. The perfect size burrito showed up just about five minutes later with my beverage and a piping cup of the gravy. I was pretty tasty and a bargain at $7.53! Gave the girls a nice tip because I couldn't believe how cheap it was and how good it was, but I sure appreciate the great service. When I stepped to the register to pay my bill, I was almost sorry I hadn't ordered their biscuits because they look like huge fluffy pillows and a plate passed by me with a slab of ham that would choke a mule - but boy it sure looks good. I'll definitely be back to try that whI've got a bigger appetite, that's for sure! It's real clean, friendly, neighborhood basic diner. I'd give it a solid 4.5 if I could. Only dropped that .5 from a 5 because the menu is pretty limited. If your tummy is growling, give it a whirl, I don't think you'll be disappointed..

We enjoy sitting on the back deck overlooking the Lake Balboa I had the 2 piece catfish dinner with hush puppies and fries. I love their fries. Always cooked to perfection with the right amount of crunch. Some of the best fries that this 68 year old man has had. Wife had a salad that's she's become very fond of over the many times we have eaten here. We simply cannot eat here without having their calamari. If you go there this is a must have. It's simply outstanding. When we arrive around 4 pm the parking lot was packed. When we got inside we had no wait whatsoever. It appears there was a party of sorts upstairs so if you find the parking lot packed, don't be discouraged. Hope this all helps.

Cafe 1217 - A Fresh Break from the Road Trip Diet…read more What a relief to stumble into Cafe 1217 after days of heading southwest on a steady rotation of BBQ, grits, and beans. Delicious, yes... but the body eventually starts asking for a vegetable and a reset. The space itself matches that feeling. Simply decorated, with bright murals, clean lines, and a cheerful, easygoing vibe that feels light the moment you walk in. My husband gave me full ordering authority, which is always a bold move. I went straight into tapas mode because everything on the menu looked too good to choose just one. We ended up with a spread: chicken pot pie (which quickly abandoned any "small plate" intentions), field greens and baby spinach, a shrimp and crawfish cake, and one of each of Rosy's authentic hand-rolled tamales. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying without that heavy, road-trip food fatigue. The mint lemonade was refreshing and delicious, a little on the sweet side, but it worked. Service, while perfectly fine, could benefit from a warmer welcome and a bit more guidance, especially for first-timers trying to navigate such an inviting menu. A little extra friendliness up front would go a long way here. Our only real regret? Not saving room for dessert. They looked very tempting, and we'll be thinking about that missed opportunity. If you're on the road and craving something lighter without sacrificing flavor, this spot is a welcome pause.
