    Just had the best time here! Lusanna was our server and she was excellent! The owner came out and said hi, my aunt & her husband are regulars (you can tell by how everyone knew them). My aunt and her husband ordered the Pork Chop special (two 8 oz pork chops, 3 eggs, toast, and home fries) it was a ton of food! I ordered the blueberry banana homemade French toast, it was definitely home cooking! I tried it with syrup but ended up eating it without syrup because the flavor is phenomenal! I also got the full order of biscuits and gravy to split with my husband, it was good but I added more pepper, I should have asked for sausage gravy but I have left overs of the French toast and biscuits with gravy. Hubby got the Chili Cheese Omelet! I can admit I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was! I would have never thought to put that together orange juice came in a large cup and coffee had free refills. I'll come visit the next time I'm in town.

    The best breakfast place I have been in a long long time. From the moment we sat down the waitress (JANELLE) was nice. we told her we've never been and she explained everything on the menu, what is popular and more. I truly loved the food I got, the country fried steak and I am always so hesitant because many times the gravy tends to be very peppery which kills it for me. This gravity was fantastic, the steak was super fresh, flavorful and crispy. The hashbrowns came out nice and crispy best hashbrowns I have ever had. My sister ordered the cinnamon roll French toast which is literally made with a homemade cinnamon roll. That was delicious we got an additional cinnamon roll to try to recreate the French toast at home jiji. We live like 30 min away from this place wish it was closer but when I'm in the area i will surelly visit them again. KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB!!!!!

    One of the best place for breakfast, but I was waiting for my coffee for so long.. and they mixed up the milk…. I’ve ordered with almond, but they brought me with regular one. But still tasty place which has place in my heart.

    I have driven by this place for years and never stopped, Today I stopped and it was well worth it. As soon as I walked in I was created by everyone that worked there. I ordered coffee and Biscuits with gravy, sausage, and potatoes with onions and pepers.. The food was great and the service was even better. This is now my new breakfast spot.

    Older hole in the wall privately owned restaurant. We stopped here for a late breakfast on the way back from Stinson Beach. We spent so much money on overrated food I was amazed at how great this little restaurant was. Their food was delicious and not expensive at all. I highly recommend. We visited on May 20th.

    OMFG, this hole in the wall diner has excellent and affordable food! Their menu is a highlight of classics, big portions and decent prices. Good service as well. I had the club,a bargain at 12.99 with fries or a salad,everything about it was Excellent,the Bacon and Turkey were high quality and hella good. The salad was fresh and crispy, the blue cheese dressing was also good. This used to be a regular stop, will definitely be back. The menu shown on Google is way out of date, they only do dinner on the weekends. No wait at lunch for those in a hurry.
