Got seated at 11:10 AM, table wasn't cleaned (oil stains and previous person's silverware still on the table). It took a while to get any server's attention, and we finally got our food about an hour later. We asked for eggs over medium, but they came out over easy with extremely runny yolks. Ordered the carne asada without bell peppers and extra cheese, but it came with bell peppers and no extra cheese. Everything was solidly just OK. Ordered one chocolate chip pancake and it was pale on one side, brown on the other. Receipt said it cost $2.06 to add chocolate chips, making the entire, singular pancake about $10. You pay at the register, but none of the servers could be found by the register. Overall, it felt like we were overpromised with our food, under-served, and disappointed with this experience. read more

We had lunch here after we visiting Moaning cave nearby. We got there around 12pm and were seated right away. The service was friendly but it took a while for our food to come out as it was pretty crowded. - pancake: super delicious! We got 2 big pancakes. They were fluffy, soft, and perfectly cooked. - Denver omelette: small portion for the price but the taste was good. The egg was well seasoned & fluffy. read more

Cute little diner with very friendly staff. Come hungry because their portions are MASSIVE! The chicken fried steak could probably feed 2 people, or in my case 2 separate meals. It was crispy and they don't skimp on the gravy! It was a little overkill to also get biscuits n gravy on the side BUT their biscuits are such flakey, buttery, goodness! Get the biscuits! read more

We ate on Sunday after a weekend of Cave exploring and wine tasting. The food was great. The dining area was big and clean. The service was excellent. Everyone was really nice. I ate the make your own with 2 eggs, bacon, hash browns and avocado. My husband had the breakfast burrito. My sister in law and nephew had the chicken fried steak and French toast. Everyone said their meal was good! read more

What a cute little diner! I was in town with friends from the area and they knew exactly where to take me when I woke up starving on a Saturday morning. We arrived around 11am and were immediately greeted by a friendly server, brought out waters, and given menus. Our entire group ordered either a bloody Mary or a mimosa to start. I went with the bloody Mary and it definitely hit the spot. It could have been my whole meal. But alas I had to get more so I was ready to go for a hike later on that day. I actually ended up ordering from the kids menu, simply because it was cheaper than going a la carte. I got one egg over medium, some extra crispy hashbrowns, and sourdough toast. It came with either bacon or sausage but I skipped on that. My egg was a little overcooked but it still did the trick and the hashbrowns were exactly what I was craving. The space itself is definitely western themed with some booths having a canvass wagon cover over them - super festive! There's also all sorts of traffic signs. Overall it had an old school feel which was fun. My friends and I all left satisfied. I'd definitely give them a visit if I ever find myself back in Murphys. read more

I simply loved my garden omelette! The country potatoes too were delicious and I wished there were more on my plate. The portions were just about right-sized; it left me wanting just that little bit more but not hungry. The pancakes were very soft and fluffy and the kiddo ate it all up. I had a bite and it was bouncy and pretty good. I was told that the carne asada however was just ok, and that the meat tasted more like hamburger meat. I did like the bite of scrambled eggs I pilfered but the accompanying side of biscuit and gravy was ok. The lady that was multitasking did a great job of keeping all the waiting patrons informed that she was the only one working the tables *and* the front desk today. One local gentleman was super kind enough to pitch in and helped clean up all the tables! That really helped get things moving! The interior 'decor' was pretty spartan and open with a huge Texaco retro gas pump smack dab in your face as you enter. My one takeaway was that the eggs were just delicious!!! I don't know what it was about the eggs. It simply tasted way better than other eggs -- were they locally sourced eggs, or were my taste-buds playing tricks on me? Oh the eggs. read more

The food here felt like home... it was great. The service was great also! The ambiance was simple but rustic. Cute! Prices were the usual expensive fare. One waitress wore a T-shirt that said 'God knows if you don't tip'. Although I'm sure it was meant to be funny, the tipping in this state has gotten ridiculous! The expectation for someone to tip is unrealistic. Tips are for good/great service! Not for drive up coffee places or waitresses that ignore you. The waitresses here WERE great, so we of course were generous, but please stop with the entitled expectations! My opinion- I said it. ‍ read more

Bright, clean and friendly with cute decor and a waitress who is customer service oriented. She answered my questions about the grill and oil - separate part of the grill and corn, and took my order for hash browns with grilled veggies without any criticism (which I've had from other restaurants). Tina made a fresh pot of decaf, kept it topped up and graciously accepted my suggestion of plant based coffee creamer. My hash browns were delicious! read more

Don't visit if you're in a hurry. Or if you if just want a meal in the next hour. Arrived at 10:50am. Got seated in about 10 minutes. Took 50 minutes for our basic breakfast order to arrive. At one point we counted 4 tables with food and 12 tables all waiting. And waiting. It was the slowest breakfast service we've ever experienced. The food was good once it arrived, but they messed up our order a bit. No way were we going to send it back to get fixed. We should have went to the McDonald's up the road. Would definitely not recommend, unless you don't mind a SUPER LONG wait. Our server was really nice. read more

We have had several meals here and the food is always great and the servers are attentive and busy since the place is usually packed. We are always patient and tell the server not to stress about us, we understand being short staffed and being on mountain time and having some customers be high maintenance. That being said we haven't had to wait long ever and the food is worth it. read more

We discovered this cute place on a busy weekend in Murphy. Cute, clean and friendly. When we came in for breakfast they were busy and had just one waitress working. Our waitress, Tina, was nothing short of amazing! She kept everyone informed, let them know when she would be back, stayed friendly and chipper and really kept the flow going. So impressed. The food was delicious with far more than we could eat! Hubs had the chicken fried steak, which was great and I had a regular breakfast with their half serving of biscuit and gravy. Coming from a southern family, I can tell you they do gravy right! If you're hungry for breakfast, don't hesitate. You won't be disappointed. read more

This restaurant has struggled since covid and the change in ownership at about the same time. We have had mixed experiences there so we continued to give them our business. We really do want them to make it. Recently they changed managers and the quality has deteriorated ever since. The quality of food has gone down quite a bit as they cut corners. The only saving grace is the server Tina. She consistently works hard and provides outstanding customer service. But even she can't mask the poor food qualit. read more

Very disappointed. Initial service was quick taking the order. The server said it would take a little longer than normal due to a group table. My bad - we should have asked for an estimate (or perhaps the server should have offered). 45 minutes later with empty glasses I had to hail the server (who had not stopped at all during the 45m to check on us) to ask an ETA. Soon as they were just about finished with the big table. Our meals finally arrived, around 1 hr since we sat down. I had biscuits/gravy/eggs/bacon. Can't go wrong with bacon. The eggs were perfectly over-medium. But, the biscuits/gravy was tasteless/bland. No seasoning to speak of. Although I saw a few specks of what might have been black pepper, no pepper taste, no salt, or anything other seasoning like cayenne pepper or even sage/thyme that I have sometimes found. No meat (crumbled sausage for instance). Plus, no drippings/fat to enrich it. The texture was ok, but not rich/creamy so I don't think they used whole milk or cream. My wife had the BLT. The only good thing about it was the bacon. The rest was pitiful. Almost white/anemic lettuce, very unripe tomatoes. So all in all, poor service and poor food. Sad since it's local. read more
