I had a BLT with a caesar salad. Very good, nothing super special, but good. Others in my party had some really over the top and delicious looking dishes, but I only reviewed what I ate and ordered. I would probably go back to try some of their other dishes for sure. Great service with a very friendly staff.

I ordered a rodeo breakfast. Nothing line a good NY steak cooked the way I like it. The food was really good. I ate everything on my plate! I haven’t had grits in a long time everybody can't make them right. However this was the first time I can say they actually tasted good at a restaurant. I left stuffed and satisfied. The atmosphere was great, and the service was just as good. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!

Great servers really made sure everything was right through the dining experience. Relaxing interior with clean parking. Food can range from fair to very good and should be a little larger serving for the price. Overall good for a meal if your near by but not worth driving out of your way.

Really good family diner. My Greek omelette was delicious. Toast & pancakes were good too. The toast was a nice marbled rye. My server, Calebmichael, was attentive & pleasant. Great prices too!

Why have I driven by this fantastic eatery so many times without stopping! This will be our new go to for eating out. My mom, sister and I wanted to have a nice brunch together and decided to stop here as it is near where we both live. The inside was very inviting with plenty of booths and tables, sparkling clean environment and cute décor. There was a great variety to select from on the menu. I settled on a standard cheeseburger with an upgrade to sweet potato fries. My sister had a double cheeseburger with a cup of soup and mom had chicken tenders with a salad and soup. Our burgers were juicy and fresh. The buns were soft and delicious. The salad was crisp and fresh. The soups were to die for! The best tomato soup I ever tasted...thanks mom for letting me try it. Our server was knowledgeable, efficient and and very kind. The prices are fair. There is plenty of parking spaces. The outside doesn't scream, this place is great but once you step inside you will not be disappointed.

Cute little place with good food. Soup texture was thicker than expected. The french toast was a bit dry and bacon was cooked too well. I loved the fried pickles and would go back to try something new. Update** (02/23/2025) Returned to this place and it has gotten a lot better. Food and service! They really do take customers reviews into consideration.

My new favorite diner! First of all the hostess was such a lovely person and greated my mom and I with such energy that it was impossible not to smile. And our waiter? Super nice! The atmosphere was diner-esque. Very welcoming even with the modern decor. The food was delicious. My mom and I went the morning after Halloween and we were craving something sweet for breakfast. I got the Viva La French which was out of this world delicious! The French toast was covered in cheesecake bites and a berry syrup it was so sweet and delicious. My mom also got something off their specialty menu. She got the half order of the Peach Cobbler Belgian Waffles. It was a Belgian waffle woth peaches and vanilla ice cream on top. I'm pretty sure it had syrup as well. Also, the amount of food for the price you pay is perfect! I could barely eat all of my meal.
