Mrs. Foot and myself managed to sneak out this past weekend while the little ones were off with the…read moregrandparents... figured it was time for a real breakfast. Not that bagel-and-cereal situation we usually get over at the in-laws' den. Pulled this place up on my Yelp app and it just kind of called to me... something about The Egg Station and the railroader in me gave me a good feeling. Like it was sending a signal to a wandering cryptid in need of coffee and meat. It's a cozy little spot... reminded me of those roadside diners I used to hide out in back in the day. It was close to noon, but luckily they do breakfast all day... which speaks to my kind of schedule. There's a small parking area right out front and a grassy patch across the way that's perfect for oversized vehicles or an inconspicuous forest-dwelling footprint. We were greeted right away and told to sit wherever. I scanned the whiteboard with the specials at the entrance like I was decoding ancient cave glyphs. There were knick-knacks scattered all over... a real treasure trove of decor. We picked a spot by the seasonal holiday tree... festive without being over-the-top. Our waitress had a shirt that read something about "Throat Punch Saturday"... made us laugh and instantly set the mood. No fancy brunch tension here... just folks who know how to serve a proper plate of food without fuss. I ordered the Corned Beef Hash Blitz Skillet. Two eggs... corned beef hash... peppers... onions... tomatoes... all piled high on home fries and buried under sausage gravy and cheese. It came out sizzling like it just came off a logging camp fire. It was a true breakfast mountain, the kind you climb slowly, fork by fork. The corned beef hash was tasty... though I would've liked it crispier in places. The sausage gravy was surprisingly good... not that canned paste stuff. This was the real deal. Mrs. Foot got the Meat Lovers Omelet with hashbrowns and wheat toast. That omelet looked like it could feed a small search party. She's not big on potatoes usually, but she really liked these hashbrowns. They had that all-over crunch, not just the top and bottom. No mushy middle. We both nodded in appreciation... silently acknowledging a well executed spud. Only thing that caught us off guard was the payment. We assumed you paid up front, but turns out your waitress handles everything at your table and carries it over to the counter. Not a problem, just a twist in the trail we weren't expecting. We walked out full and satisfied... no need to forage again until late evening. Definitely planning to come back and try their lunch menu next time... but for now, we know where to find a solid breakfast spot when we visit the family in Lakeland.

We've been coming here for the better part of 10 years. Seriously, this place is fantastic. Today we came in just after the lunch rush. And what makes me write a review after all this time is because The Reuben has been added to their sandwich lineup. I am a sucker for a good Reuben. I love some of the various versions out there like a Grouper Reuben or a Turkey Reuben but there is nothing like an original. The bread is their marble rye which was already freakin fantastic; patty melts are phenomenal here. The ratio of corned beef and sauerkraut was spot on perfect. Don't you just hate it when it's out of balance? The cheese was perfectly melted and the dressing was oh so good. It was sandwich heaven. My apologies for having no pictures.
