Update - Mothers Day 5/14/24 Very attentive and welcoming staff! I’ve been paying with Apple Pay - there is no pesky tip request popping up before any service is rendered. I discovered an option on the signing slip so my tip today was more generous! Update, Earth Day 2023. Thanks to the staff who made a fresh pot of coffee even on a busy Saturday morning. Late morning coffee - ideal location midway between the village hall and Readers Hardware. Friendly and very accommodating to people with disabilities/ brought me my order to the table! Thank you!!

The young lady who helped us today made this place feel so at home. The food was good and the service was beyond excellent! We were in the area and just found the place with a Google search but will definitely be back and send others your way! Enjoyed the outdoor seating area.

I love the food here. The staff are great, too. Very friendly and always serving with a smile. I mostly eat breakfast here, although I have tried the burgers. Quite tasty. There is meter parking on the street and a municipal lot less than a block away.

The welcoming atmosphere of the staff very inviting and wholesome great tasting breakfast the omelette with the feta and spinach with the home fries and side of rye is worth a 30 mile drive just to experience that old school cooking and taste that you can’t find everywhere the OG in the kitchen I bet he has been slinging hash browns way before google was a thing over all of your looking for the clean eating at an amazing price come hungry it’s good eating
