Love having breakfast here with my family. I've done so for years and it is always FAST and consistent. The bacon is crispy and eggs are cooked correctly every time. Your cup of coffee stays full. Friendly accomodating staff. Great place to eat with young children as well- your server will probably dote on them. This is a no-frills diner,... More

I usually have breakfast when I come here for breakfast or lunch. It's always friendly and good food. Check te hours, I don't think they are open very late.

We visited for breakfast on a Friday morning. The staff was very friendly and service good. The prices were reasonable. The food was OK. I didn't much care for the biscuits and gravy so I didn't finish it, but the pecan waffle was very tasty. I would only recommend it if you are in the neighborhood and looking for home... More

I ordered the Sausage Horsehoe, my wife had the sausage gravy and biscuits, and our son had the pancakes with bacon. Everything was just terrific - fresh tasting and nicely prepared. Clearly, very popular with the locals and deservedly so. Cash only... More

Great local kind of 'hole in the wall' place! A bit slow on coffee refills which is too bad as when going out for breakfast, coffee refills are key in our house! Great food, very reasonably priced....old school.....nothing fancy.....but good!
