This is where we choose to sit and it's by far the best seat in the house. The tall purple chairs were comfortable and had loads of personality and they had playing cards, dominoes, uno, Jenga, a mini puzzle, and a Rubik cube form your enjoyment. The light dwindles the farther into the establishment you go with it being darker and cozier closer to the cash register. What we got: Orange juice - 3* I don't know why I'm always surprised when smaller boutique-like establishments don't do fresh squeezed orange juice but I am. Despite knowing this my partner still wanted the Simply Orange Juice that the serve. I'm more practically minded and would've rather purchased our own bottle at the grocery store for a similar price but alas, compromises for those you love Stuffed waffle with fresh fruit - 4* we could choose from strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry so we chose a medley of them all. The waffle was good and I liked the fresh raspberries and blueberries on top. The fruit inside was all baked in. The syrup on the side Bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel - 4* classic savory bagel Danish - 3* nothing special. You'd find this Danish at any old store.

I ordered the Sunday Special- Hamburger Steak with Mashed Potatoes and Texas Toast- and it was delicious! My family ordered eggs with fried bologna and toast, eggs with sausage, home fries and a biscuit. Each thing we ordered was tasty and came out fairly quickly. The waitress was friendly and the bathrooms were very clean. The women's room was well stocked with good quality toilet paper (why must this be so rare?!) and paper towels. It even had a hook on the back of the door for any bags or jackets you may want to hang up- it's the little things! The pricing was shockingly amazing! We spent $34 for 4 meals, a coffee, and two add-ons. The ambiance is casual and cute, and the building is decorated nicely. They even think of little details such as having a hook on the side of each booth for your purse, bag, jacket, etc. Overall, our experience at the Downtown Pioneer was great and we will definitely be coming back! I would recommend them to any friends and family looking for good classic or southern breakfast and brunch!

For a small place, its service and food vastly belie the compact nature of its environment. I had one of the best burgers I've had in a long, long time, and this just returning from San Diego, CA, a place known for great burgers, notably "Hodads". The side salad was, unbelievably, even better. Fresh, robust in size, and it just complemented the burger better than I'd have ever imagined. My wife had mixed veggies, avocado, rice, and pintos. All were good/great but the pintos were singularly her plates star. The place was impeccably clean, including the bathrooms. Staff was courteous and professional in all interactions. Literally a smaller venue in a smaller town, that easily is punching above its weight class. Highly recommended.

It was nice to cleanse the palate with the juicy fruit. We ended up coming back the next day so I'll be reviewing a lot of the dishes here. What we got: Maple glazed donut - 5* the perfect fluffy donut. And large to boot! I was honestly disappointed when we finished it. Avocado toast - 5* got a over medium egg on it which was really the cherry on top. It has a good amount of seasoning on it but not overbearing. My first bite was a bit saltier than I would've liked but everything else was perfect so I think it was a fluke. Biscuits and Gravy - 4.5* a tad too much pepper for my liking but other than that this was perfection! Fluffy, buttery biscuit and delicious gravy combos make my heart sing. Loaded Omelet - 4* it was loaded! Hope you like your meat because it's packed. The eggs were surprisingly fluffy though a little overcooked. Fried Potatoes - 5* delicious and complimentary to the meal. Java Breakfast - 3.5* the eggs weren't the best, the sausage was fantastic, and the pancakes were pretty good. They were thin and fluffy. French Toast - 4* the French toast was really good, the black raspberry topping not as much. It was a bit too thick and gelatinous for my taste. The syrup that comes out with the meal is good though. Quiche - 2* my least favourite. I was really excited for this one and had high expectations. Unfortunately it was a thin and chewy quiche and lacked flavor. Fried pie (strawberry rhubarb) - 2* I wasn't a fan. The syrup was too gelatinous and lacked the flavor I'm used to when you have strawberry rhubarb. The inside looked like the syrup you get when you add too much cornstarch to thicken up fruit sauces. It didn't taste like cornstarch though so no worries there. Glazed donut - 3.5* (my partner says 4*) these are half priced if they're a day old. They heat them up for you if you want, which we did. It was alright but still good for being a day old. I'd choose fresh if it was available though.
