This place has an old small diner feel. Kirk our waitress provided such great hospitality and customer service. The food is affordable, prepared quickly and was soooo good!! There is a limited selection of dishes but that’s ok! And there are no alcoholic beverages but that’s ok too lol!

Just went there for the first time and we were super impressed with how fast our food came out! I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was hands down the best breakfast burrito I have ever had, normally places have way too much eggs in them but not here! Perfect! Great coffee too. Our waitress was super kind and cool as well! We will definitely be coming back. Edit: I forgot to mention, bring cash to pay and your meal will be cheaper!

Stopped here randomly after seeing the reviews and was SO glad I did. Was greeted so nicely and had an incredible spot in the window nook. Had to try the bacon bloody Mary,was delish.Whoever greeted me (manager, owner, not sure who), brought me a slice of French toast on the house because he said I "had to try it", they make their own home made syrup. French toast was AMAZING! I tried the chicken fried steak, which he recommended the chorizo gravy - I would have not normally ordered chorizo, but glad I did - also amazing. I ordered an English muffin and got some sort of rye toast and was glad I did. It was so flavorful, thick and buttery. Hashbrowns crispy and perfect. Definitely going back again before heading back to Texas!

Great Mom and Pop in a nice neighborhood. I found this place from a Google search. Was highly rated. We got there an hour after they opened and it took about 20 minutes to get a seat. Wasn't a bad wait. Typical small business atmosphere and was very busy. They were offering their breakfast menu. Our server was pleasant and cheerful. It didn't take long to get our order and the potions were very generous. I had the chicken fried steak and eggs with sausage gravy. We also had French toast and bacon (sausage) and eggs. The chicken fried steak was awesome with the gravy but I could eat only one of the patties (too full). Everyone loves their meals. Thank you

A quick stop before we traveled north for the day and it was a good one. The server was amazingly nice and answered all our questions about not only food/drink but also the art on the walls. If you want something cute and quiet for breakfast 10 out of 10!

We were pleasantly surprised by our breakfast choices this morning of Chicken Fried Steak and French Toast. My hubby is something of a Chicken Fried Steak snob ( so very picky) and was absolutely stunned at how delicious it was. Nice crispy perfectly seasoned chicken-flavored patties with very flavorful sausage gravy. I had a bite and I found it to be awesome as well!!! French Toast had a nice eggy batter and an unusual milky caramel-like sauce ( may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I liked it. You can opt for regular syrup ). Overall, very scrumptious meals.
