Eclectic ambiance, at least 5 clocks that I saw, none of them with the correct time, knick knacks galore. Friendly service, quick banter, lots of locals, fresh strong coffee. Don't be in a hurry because they are busy and good food takes a little while. I ordered Eggs's and ham, hubby ordered an omelet. I think they served us half of a pig between my ham slice and his ham, bacon, and sausage omelet. Home fries with peppers and onions. Don't forget your cash, no checks or cards allowed. But there is a convenient ATM right inside. Great food , great prices, great service, simple. ,

Enjoyed seeing a parent show her children the places on the map they've visited. Shane, our server, also seemed largely responsible for the bar area as well as being one of the servers. Clearly, individuals who appeared to be "regulars" have lively and fun conversations with Shane. It was fun overhearing snippets of their conversations while we ate. Glad the conversations around us were so interesting, because it did take longer than expected for our meals to be served. I am so glad I followed Shane's suggestion that the chicken fried steak was their most popular item. It was, in fact, very good. Love that even the biscuit underneath the steak and sausage gravy was very tasty. The hash browns were delicious Maggie's corned beef hash was very disappointing, made worse by this being our only meal til we reach our next destination tonight. Overall, we loved the ambiance, Shane served us well and we loved seeing the diverse clientele interact with the staff and each other - even the cook came out to greet customers at the bar with high fives all around.

I'm not sure if the nonchalant/don't give-a-F was a part of the service vibe, but everyone working just seemed like they woke up on the wrong side of the bed? Or maybe back home in California, everyone's always just perky? The food was 'meh.' Definitely something I could have made myself. Didn't think the hashbrowns had any flavour. Smallest piece of toast. Bacon was whatever. Eggs might have been the best part? Honestly, this breakfast was nothing special. It filled my tummy for our morning of adventures ahead, but was really nothing special. The nicest thing about the place was the unique decor. I wouldn't come back and eat again though. 2026: 44/2026

It is a small restaurant and reservations on a Monday are still needed. The starters with the star of the day even though the entrees were still good. We started with the tomato salad and beans and peppers. The tomato salad was phenomenal. Perfect sweet and acid balance with the homemade vinaigrette. All the items were either from their garden or local ones. The beans and peppers had a perfect char and the aioli was super tasty. I had the mushroom gnocchi w/ sausage. Super tasty and fresh. Only feedback is that it was a little rich. I had the olive oil lemon cake for dessert. The flavors were good with the right amount of lemon that did not overpower the cake. The main issue was that is was overcooked and really dry. Overall good meal and super nice service. There are definitely some other entrees I would like to try.
