    I read a few reviews and many raved about it. A lot compared it to mom's or grandma's cooking. It's definitely a hole in the wall place. It looks like an old house that was converted into a restaurant. Inside it opens up into a large area with plenty of seating. There's another area up a set of steps going toward the front of the place. There are rows of coffee mugs along the opposite wall with names of locals that probably frequent the place. The breakfast menu is typical of most places. Eggs, bacon, and biscuits. I ordered a coffee and water to start. Immediately I could tell the coffee was going to be bad. It looked dark in the pot but once she started to pour it looked liked tannic water. It hardly tasted like coffee and adding cream, as I do, only turned it into a different color. I ordered a special which gave you 2 egg, potatoes, gravy, biscuit, and your choice of sausage (patties or links), or bacon. Everything I ordered looked good. The potatoes had a nice crisp to them like I like them. Sausage patties were a bit on the dry side. Eggs, over medium, cooked perfectly. The gravy was a bit lackluster but the biscuit was big and fluffy. The food itself was a bit bland and I seasoned it up a bit. Overall I wasn't that impressed with it. I would probably go back if I were in the area but it would not be my first choice. I saw on the menu board that they had daily lunch specials. I would imagine more of the same. The service was fine and they came by several times to refill my coffee cup. It, however, did not darken it any.

    What an amazing find! I cannot believe I’ve walked and driven by this a hundred times and missed it. I’ve heard the rumors and the stories of how legendary this place was and how they make you feel at home…. Look at those mugs? Those are all the regulars! One room for families and the other for 18+ in case of swearing!?! I’ve never felt so immediately at home the minute I walked in and my goodness look at this spread? I have no idea how they are making any money with these prices. All I know is I could have cried when my poached egg came back a perfect medium!!! His omelette was huge, and a choice of toast or fresh made daily biscuits and gravy? $1 to add “taters” to your breakfast meal? And if you love orange juice? Order the large!! Thank you so much Elizabeth for an amazing first visit, first of many!! Oh and that black and white? That was him hangry. By the time we got home he was in a food coma!!! Thank you again! What a local treasure!!

    Great out of the way place. Nice and clean. Friendly. A small menu but tasty. Best bacon I’ve had in a while.

    This is just an awesome diner. I just hope they are not under pricing their food because I would love to see their continued success. The service and food was outstanding. Their prices are really low for the quantity and quality of their food. This place is really clean and pretty busy. Will definitely visit here again. It is easy to find using Google Maps. There is plenty of free parking.

    Can not say enough good things about this restaurant. Today I needed a last minute lunch for 20 people. I called at 10 am to see if they could possibly put together 20 of their lunch specials for 11:30 pickup (I fully expected a no). The woman who answered the phone was so nice. She went back to make sure they had enough and they did. We had the smoked pork chops, mashed potatoes and gravy, and green beans. Food was delicious! Will definitely use them again.

    6/7/18 Best chicken tenders in town Best fried chicken in town! Better than any gas station pre-breaded stuff. Real mashed taters and gravy made from scratch!

    Great little neighborhood restaurant. Good food, good atmosphere and friendly place

  • 5/5 Jacob M. 1 year ago on Google
    We were in the area for other reasons and was looking for some lunch. Decided to give this place a try. Good tasty food for a proper price, good service and friendly staff. There were a couple self-proclaimed regulars at a table next to ours who gave suggestions of what we might want as well as told us about daily specials the restaurant usually has on offer. We were not disappointed with our decision. Definitely recommend giving them a try if your in the area, but they are only open for breakfast and lunch. Be forewarned though that they close at 2pm as of the date of this review so be sure to get there beforehand.

    Big portions, delicious food and great price. Our waitress was so nice and sweet. For 2 people ordering willy nilly bc we were really hungry, spent about $30 without the tip included

  • 4/5 Chris S. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was fantastic and the staff was knowledgeable and very nice. The building was very old and poorly maintained from what I could see. Cleanliness of the restaurant didn't instill much confidence that the food was prepared in a clean kitchen, but I could be wrong. 50/50 shot that I would go back.

    Just love this little local diner! Food is always great, staff always friendly. I eat here regularly and have never had a bad meal.

    These type of places are harder and harder to find. Prices are great, service better than expected, and food that'll make you feel like family!

    I had the party melt with seasoned fries. The fries were perfect. The party melt used a white cheese, burger patty, and rye bread which was an interesting take. Service was on point with refills and food came out pretty quickly.

    Atmosphere: I love the type of down home people you get to interact with here. I enjoy the older veterans supporting each other, shooting the breeze; I love the diverse families that come in; I love the coffee mug wall for all the "regulars". The building is dated, but is very clean. Food: Top of the Morning was awesome! Everything homemade, biscuits from scratch, gravy has a great consistency (upgrade to the sausage gravy for $1.00 more...totally worth it). Food is served hot and you will not find it sitting under a warmer! Price: 6 of 5 stars!!! Average meal is around $7-$9 dollars with VERY generous portions. Service: 5 of 5. My coffee was filled up, the waitress was incredibly kind (younger lady with glasses, brown hair) and had a great personality. She was great with her other customers and they also had smiles on their faces. Thank you, you are a kind-hearted person! I am so glad we still have great "mom and pop" places like this. Reminds me of when my grandparents would take me somewhere they enjoyed. Hours of Operation: On the door it says 5am-2pm. Parking: there is limited parking in the buildings lot (maybe 10-12 cars) but adjacent to the building there is another lot less than 50 feet with plenty of parking.
