This place is mint. Got the Burt Lake Benedict. I was satisfied to the point of titillation

Awesome breakfast!!!! Service fantastic!!! I would recommend this place!!!! The waffles, Burt Lake biscuit and graveyard was delicious!!!! read more

Yummy food. Big portions. Attentive service. Came at 11:45am on Sunday. Our party of 4 was seated right away. Our party had the sticky bun, cinnamon roll, eggs benny, half order biscuit and gravy, side of corned beef hash, kids mini pancake, and an omelet. Everything was yummy. The sticky bun was the star of the show. As a southerner I can say the biscuit and gravy wasn't as good as it could have been, but it was a good dish. The Mickey Mouse shaped pancake was a big hit. The corned beef hash was very yummy. The portions were huge. read more

We were seated quickly, order taken quickly, and the food came out hot and delicious. The warm cinnamon roll was one of the best I've had. The chicken and waffles, and omelette plate were above par. We felt welcomed and valued by the staff. No wonder there were so many cars in the lot. read more

I was excited to try this place as it's had lots of positive comments from friends. But I can say I won't be back. Small diner experience on the negative side. SUPER LOUD! That was so bad, I literally could not hear my wife speak to me across the table. Service was poor and the portions are small. I'm not sure how this has a single $ for pricing, as I walked out of the BREAKFAST restaurant paying my $60 tab for 2. The food was good, so the cook can cook. But how do you screw up eggs? read more

We stopped here based on our AirBNB recommendation and had a pretty good experience. It's exactly what you'd expect from a small diner all the way down to the ads on the tabletop and mugs. The food itself was pretty good and I felt like the service was friendly -- the sweet potato fries were especially good and the portions were generous--the bowl of oatmeal was massive! We only had breakfast but the lunch items looked good as well. The only downside I'd note is that it's not a great place for a group larger than 4 as it didn't seem like they had too many tables that could accommodate it. We had to split our party into separate tables after waiting quite a while -- not a huge deal but a bit of a bummer for a family vacation. All & all I wouldn't go out of my way for it - but - would happily return. read more

Great place. The food was delicious. The service was wonderful. We will definitely come back. I highly recommend this cafe

Great service, good coffee. We had the eggs Benedict and it was a bit disappointing. The English muffins were very thin.

It was delicious. Get the sticky bun! You won't regret it! I got the veggie skillet and my husband got the basic breakfast. It was very good, fresh, and made with quality ingredients. read more

The restaurant is a cute little place, & the service is friendly. The new owner seemed wise beyond her years. I loved my club sandwich & my niece really enjoyed her sticky bun. read more

We were seated immediately and able to give our order right away. Our server was attentive, and friendly. I didn't catch his name, but on our bill, it said server # 8. Food came about 15 minutes later. The family of 6 next to us had to wait a bit longer. The food is well worth the wait but you may need to be patient. We were very pleased with the mushroom burger and biscuits and gravy. The corn beef hash (I prefer mine chunky) was a bit dry but tasty. An added egg would have helped that. We would definitely come back. read more
