I’ve been here twice so far and love the food. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich and Mac n cheese while my mom tried the Rachel sandwich with chicken and wild rice soup. I’ve also had the turkey club with their kettle chips and a lemonade. Everything was delicious and high quality. I love the shops they have on site, as we shopped after we ate. They have indoor and outdoor seating with a good amount of space. It’s a great area to visit. I will be back soon to try more! Highly recommend!
Food is fantastic, employees are all exceptional people. Our go-to breakfast spot! Be sure to add the house queso and house sauce to every egg dish. So good!
Love this place! I think the biggest thing is how they treat you as a customer. They treat you like they are making a meal for a friend. Everyone is so kind - from the person taking your order to the person bringing your food. I love the breakfast burritos, reuben sandwich, turkey club, Rachel sandwich. As a family we have gotten the best breakfast sandwich, pancakes, waffles... etc. The food is really good. So glad they are now open on Sunday.
Love this spot. Can’t beat the ambiance either inside or outside for a nice breakfast or brunch. The burrito could have used a little more of the add-ins, it was 95% egg it seemed like.
Nice diner with delicious food plus breakfast all day! Outside there are little shops with a variety of things you can buy when they are open.
My first time here and it was very nice. The food was good and the service was good. I will be back!
This establishment was truly delightful. It embodies the essence of a family-run business where exceptional customer service and food quality remain paramount. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this diner. The food is delicious and prepared with the same care one would expect from a home-cooked meal. Their beverages, soups, sandwiches, and desserts were all outstanding. The prices are very reasonable, and our server was a pleasure to interact with. We are very grateful for the experience. This location is suitable for individuals, couples, or groups of any size, as everyone is greeted with a warm smile. We look forward to returning when we are next in the area.
