A prime rib special worth remembering -- just not for the reason you think…read more I had breakfast here a couple of weeks ago, and the waitress told me I had to come back on Saturday for the prime rib special. She said it was so good and so popular that it sold out early, and encouraged me to get there early. So I did. I arrived about an hour and a half after opening, expecting this supposedly legendary Saturday special. The restaurant was maybe one-third full. My husband ordered a hamburger, which was thoroughly average. I ordered the prime rib. Unfortunately, the prime rib was anything but special. It was brown, and when I cut into it, the first two bites were so fatty that I couldn't eat them. I hadn't eaten anything else on the plate either. I simply told the waitress that I really wasn't going to eat it and asked her to take it back. And then came the truly memorable part. The chef/owner came storming over to our table and yelled at me, essentially demanding to know what was wrong with the prime rib and telling me that everybody was eating it and that it was good. Apparently, my taste buds were the problem. I wasn't rude. I wasn't looking for a free meal. I didn't make a scene. I simply didn't like the food and wasn't going to eat it. Somehow, that warranted being confronted and yelled at by the person running the restaurant. The waitress looked embarrassed by the entire exchange. I felt embarrassed for the restaurant. We paid our bill, and I still tipped the waitress on the full amount because her behavior wasn't the problem. And here's the irony: of the relatively small number of people in the restaurant, only a handful were actually eating the prime rib. So much for the "get here early because it sells out" warning. Maybe their prime rib is wonderful to some people. Food is subjective. But being yelled at by an owner because you politely returned a meal you couldn't eat is not subjective. That's simply bad customer service. A restaurant can have an off night with the food. What it shouldn't have is an owner who makes a paying customer feel unwelcome for having an opinion about it. I came back because I was told this was a Saturday special I shouldn't miss. They were right about one thing: I won't miss it again.

To me, this is table stakes for quality breakfast places. The people and the restaurant was nice enough but I wouldn't wait for a table here.

If you're looking for a good start to your day, keep driving. The Food: I'm pretty sure my breakfast combo was cooked in oil that hasn't been changed since the turn of the century. The hashbrowns weren't crispy--they were just a heavy, grey sponge dripping with lukewarm grease and dark burnt. I ordered bacon, but what I got looked and tasted like carbonized wood chips, when I asked for crispy bacon, it was rubbery. The Eggs: Supposed to be cheese omelette with mushrooms, but they managed to be simultaneously rubbery on the edges and swimming in a puddle of mystery oil. Burnt toast, burnt English muffin. Everything felt heavy, oily, and completely un-editable. Save your stomach and your money. There are a million breakfast joints out there--don't risk it on this grease trap.

First off everything is better in off season. Everyone seems a little bit more relaxed there's no traffic the servers and staff are happy there are places to park. Our server was a tad pregnant and as sweet as sugar. She helped us out with coffee of course and plenty of water it wasn't too hot so we sat outside. I ordered my usual which is eggs sausage toaster English muffin and some fruit. My wife got fruit and English muffin and some bacon. I don't know if breakfast tastes better on vacation but this one sure did it was fantastic. We did leave room for a cinnamon roll I wasn't prepared for the size or the scope of how big the cinnamon roll was. If you can imagine the size of a newborn's head being a cinnamon roll that's pretty much what this was. We both were able to take a bite but we're pretty much full up after three cups of coffee so we took the cinnamon roll home and had it later on that evening for dessert. The place is clean it's run well the manager was on site and I love it when the locals come in because they know where to go when the food is proper. Well I can't imagine the nightmare it would be trying to get breakfast during the high season I'm sure these guys can keep up but it was a really awesome dining experience and I enjoyed it will return

Can't believe I actually found the name of it because my four kids and I were thoroughly impressed with their kindness and service! My kids ordered the cheeseburger, chicken and Mac n cheese. The owner does emphasize that it is made with gouda. My kids refused to listen so two bites later... My kids loved how crunchy the fries and tater tots were! I personally think my steak salad stole the show! I could just eat the meat by itself. Delish!! We were heading to Caspersen immediately afterwards so I couldn't bring leftovers home, but I was thinking about that salad afterwards and still think about it. I wonder if it thinks about me too?? Lol The coolest part, aside from understanding owners that LOVE kids is her miniature collection of random things that are displayed in a glass case. We love all the tiny things so that was a sweet surprise! We will definitely be back and I'm bringing my leftovers home this time!
