Ate there yesterday morning (3/22/26) while visiting our son at the U of I. Arrived around 9 am on…read morea Sunday morning with a parking lot which looked fairly full and expected a wait, not having reservations. They were very efficient and our wait time was less than 5 minutes, which was a very pleasant surprise. The menu looked interesting with a lot of variety. Each of us enjoyed our orders. Mine was an Omelet with Hashbrowns and Pancakes, with an added side of Sausage Gravy. The Omelet and Hashbrowns covered the first plate and the Pancakes a second with the Sausage Gravy filling an ample sized bowl. Very impressed with not only the portion size (Which constituted not only that meal but this morning's breakfast as well), but the taste and quality of the food as well (very much liked the house Chipotle hot sauce-very tasty with heat and sweet!). The server was very friendly and did a good job! We had been to this location many years ago in as a previous Brunch type place, and the current iteration seemed brighter and more lively. We enjoyed it and would defineitly return!

We were the only ones there about 10 on a weekday. I got the standard breakfast eggs OE, bacon, hash browns. I had a taste of a most delicious meat omelet. I loved the salt and pepper stand and huge bottle of ketchup. On TV was a local morning show, kind of like TC Live. A sister combo running the place, one cooking and one waiting tables. They loved that we were from the Twin Cities driving to Nashville to a book event. If you are just passing through, do visit the cabin for an awesome home cooked meal. You really do feel like a guest.

Food came out quick after placing an order. Chicken and waffles - The waffles were soft on the inside but had a good crispy texture. The chicken was a little salty for me but flavour was decent.
