You would think that since this is the only restaurant in the area, they would have high prices; not so! On a trip across the country and this was the best food for the most reasonable prices. Thank you for a great meal! The decor is so cute too

We stopped here on our way home to Indiana. This, by far, was one of the best home cooked breakfasts we've had. Skip the big chains. They don't compare. I had a menu special of 2 homemade biscuits and gravy, home fries, 1 egg and coffee for 7. It's a little hole in the wall, so don't expect famcy. People were very nice. Update 7-8-22: People are still very nice. They've upgraded their booths, so no more torn seating. We got biscuits and gravy with home fries. The gravy wasn't as good as we remembered. It was too thick. The coffee had been on for awhile, so tasted like it. For 2 people the cost was 15. We will probably try somewhere else next time, which is unfortunate.

Stopped for breakfast on our way through this area. Their food was amazing and they were kind enough to accommodate my daughter's and my (mild) food allergies. Great place and I highly recommend it!
