This little gem of a breakfast place offers an absolutely delicious breakfast. Homefries were the best we ever had! Service was friendly, attentive, and food was freshly prepared. While we didn’t order pancakes, the table next to us did and the presentation was lovely and the diners looked pleased. The place was exceptionally clean.

Always love coming here. Even if you're not a big pancake guy, the omelettes are amazing. Never a bad meal here. Parking was a bit tough on a Sunday morning but it seems you can park across the street in the parking lot without any issues. Highly recommend the corned beef hash!

A few friends and I went for breakfast here. I ordered the breakfast BLT it was absolutely delicious. This item was on the specials list for the day. There was also a pancake that we ordered, but I can’t remember the name of it offhand, but we did order that and it was delicious. My friend was able to order her breakfast sandwich on gluten-free toast. The staff was friendly and they attended to us well.

Some of the best pancakes around! My husband and I came here about a year ago and loved the food. We just went again this past weekend and can't believe we waited so long to come back! We are definitely going to make this one of our regular breakfast restaurants we go to! My husband got the homemade corned beef hash omelete with homefries and toast, I got 2 eggs with homefries, and we ofcourse had to get a delicious pancake! We ordered the blueberry oatmeal one! It was sooooooo yummy! Thanks for such a delicious breakfast, we will be back very soon!

We met for breakfast today, our first time here. We were promptly greeted and seated after a short wait. There was a huge selection of breakfast options and specials. We ordered Eggs Benedict and the others in the party had Belgian waffles. Everything was piping hot and very good. I believed the owner waited on us. She was friendly, efficient, and had a very good sense of humor. It was a very nice experience. We will be back.

I had traditional eggs Benedict and my husband had the extension platter. Everything was perfect, eggs poached beautifully, pancakes were delicious, home fries were flavorful and perfect. They do have a lot of pancake options but we had traditional. My only concern is that they were not busy at all. We had a wonderful attentive waitress. They deserve much more business for the quality of food and cozy atmosphere. Hope you give this place a try on your next breakfast outing.

I'd like to specifically thank Dee, she went above and beyond for us. The environment was inviting, it felt like family was taking care of us. Definitely would recommend this place to everyone.

Joined friends for a late breakfast. Everyone’s food was beyond delicious. I had the California eggs Benedict with big slices of avocado & my husband had 1 apple cinnamon pancake (see photo). Service was friendly & timely with never empty coffee cups. This will be our go to place for breakfast or lunch whenever we’re in town.
