👍👍 Excellent food! Best omelette, hash browns, and biscuit I've had in a long time. Love the antique tools on the walls. Good service.

🫤 I used to love this place. But I went today and was treated terribly. I didn’t realize I needed to be on a list to buy feed. I was in the process of putting in my order when I realized they didn’t have what I needed. The owner was short with me, so I said “you know what, I’ll just go to my other fee...
