This place always has a ton of cars and finally we went! From the sassy “Don’t seat yourself “ sign to leaving it was an awesome experience. Food was excellent, in fact, I can’t say anything negative about this restaurant.

Don't forget to stop her for a Home Cooked meal. It's definitely worth the stop alone or with the family.. cooked meal with a home cook taste.. There are plenty of condiments on the table. The restaurant was clean.. It was decorated with cute signs with different sayings.. There was a board with daily specials on it. I tried the cup of asparagus bacon soup.. You might want to add potatoes to the soup.. I had the 1/2 skillet meat lovers which was very tasty and filling.. He had the ham and cheese omelet with potatoes. He added a side of sausage gravy and sour dough toast. The meal was hot and delicious, especially the sausage gravy. Thank You for a Great Meal and Hospitality Ladies ..

Walked in with eight people and was seated immediately. The sausage links were incredibly good, along with the bacon. Coffee good as well. Fast service, and everyone enjoyed their meals. Would definitely come again. We also had a fun time reading all of the signs around the restaurant. They do have booster seats and kid menus, and crayons for coloring for the littles If I had one small complaint, it was that they only have whipped butter spread and not real butter. Not a dealbreaker.

This was my first time here and it did NOT disappoint. You walk in and you feel at home. The banter between regulars and the staff lets you know number one the foods going to be great and number two you’re in the right place. Kudos to the staff and owner because you have really done something special here!!!
