Food was subpar. We got the breakfast scramble, and it looked like a pile of dog food on the plate. The coffee cup smelled like it was cleaned with dirt water and tasted like dirty dish water. The gravy on the top "melted" into our plates, and we were told " sorry the liquid of the gravy soaked into the rest of the food" and was not offered any more gravy. The to go containers don't close, and the waitress told us "be careful, it doesn't close all the way. This is all we have." Seemed after listening to other people order that they were out of multiple items off of the Christmas menu however they were still using the menus. Definitely don't recommend.

Nice place for breakfast/lunch.
Egg benedict with crab cake is worth a try!

Past 2 years I come here in the winter time between Dr appointments. It's what I look forward to. The food as always was amazing and a great portion size for the price. My waitress was amazing and very friendly. The gravy was the most memorable followed by the really well seasoned potatoes and finally the eggs which where soft and kinda creamy. Dec 2025 I will be coming back for the 4th year in a row with an appetite like no other.

Had a great time. Called ahead for our group of 8 and they were able to accommodate us, comfortably. And our server was super sweet. The food I had was delicious. We were all satisfied with our orders. There were so many other options that I also wanted to try, so I guess I'll just have to come back!

So I don’t recommend this place. My wife and I ordered the steak and eggs (medium) and the steak was not good and they were so careless cooking it (see photo). The eggs were undercooked and the potatoes on the side were super bland. Overall, the food here is just really bad and my wife and I both thought disgusting. The redeeming qualities are that the service was average and the restaurant has a cutesy look and nice atmosphere to it.
The waitress ended up taking the whole steak order off for me which was really nice, but I don’t go to a restaurant because it is cute or for good service, I couldn’t care less for that, I go for good food; so I will never be going back here, and that says alot, I love and will happily eat most foods.

For two people the price ended up being 60 dollars. No food we ordered was good. The scrambled eggs and potatoes came out cold. The potatoes looked good with the herbs but had no seasonings at all. The tropical french toast came with 3 strawberries and 5 small pieces of pineapple (very little) and the flavor was not good. The pineapple was hard and the strawberries were browning. The steak scramble had no seasoning either and they charge 6 extra dollars for a side bagel. The best thing on there was water. The environment was really nice though, very homey. And the staff was fairly kind but we had to wait around 35 minutes for our food for it still to be cold.

Super delicious food, great coffee, excellent service. Would eat there anytime. Mariah was out server and she was so warm and kind and friendly. The acoustics can just be a little loud, but that is because of the building structure itself. Definitely worth a visit or more!
