The scrambled eggs were not scrambled. They were flattened, like it was made for a breakfast sandwich, then chopped up. The texture was not good. I wish I read the other reviews about the eggs. I expected real butter and not a butter spread for my biscuits. The sausage and biscuits were just ok. I recommend the restaurant changes how they cook scrambled eggs and get real butter for the biscuits and toast.

Excellent bacon and eggs--quality bacon cooked correctly. I had the western skillet, and would get it again. Love the green pepper, onion, and sausage combo in that dish.

Every now and then we get reminded of the old, deep, rich with tradition feeling of old America…read more And nothing sums up rural America than an old rustic diner. After staying here in southern Illinois for work, I was told they had decent breakfast. I forget servers name but she was great. Glasses & Tats is what I'll cal her for now, she was a sweetheart running the show. I came in and sat at the bar. I wasn't sure what to go with so i decided on the eggs Benedict. A couple of biscuits and gravy, topped with a couple of eggs over easy, wish hash browns. Good Service , good food, and that good feeling of an American staple, the classic American Diner.

Unfortunately our nav system indicated we would get there exactly at closing time. I phoned to let them know of our situation. They responded that it was NOT a problem, they'd be there! Sure enough, I walked in at 1:59, all the employees were busily cleaning up, the owner was at the register, I told her I'd just called and our order. They could not have been nicer, happy to help us out! I loved the space also with local art work and a little book store of local lore written by local authors.

I tried the quiche which had great flavor, although it was a bit chewy. The chicken salad croissant trio hit the spot for a light lunch. I decided to make it a true sampler by trying one of each of the three flavors of chicken salad. The Waldorf chicken salad was my favorite and I'd probably have that again with a cup of soup since I didn't get to try any this visit.
