“ I stopped in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. It’s a very clean restaurant. I ordered the mushroom cheeseburger and it was outstanding. They also used fresh mushrooms, way to go management! The couple sitting next to me were eating breakfast, I overheard them saying how good the Huevos rancheros breakfast is. I’ll come by again to try that. The other picture is of the chili Verde omelette I had a few days later. ”
“ I love this place. Everything is tasty. Really nice touch with the pancakes as well. The staff are wonderful people. You’ve got to stop by. ”
“ This has been fully taken over by a local family and it has gotten even better. If you are looking for a fun weekday breakfast/lunch, this is the place. On Saturday or Sunday you may need to wait for a table, but still worth it. My wife and I love everything we have had here. The reason I am writing the review is that the biscuits and gravy are even better than before. It is a cool little cafe that also use to be the local store. ”
“ Another winner! Got the carne asada and eggs with a side of grilled jalapenos. Salsas, potatoes, pico...everything is so good! There was a large group of motorcyclists when I got there and one waitress running her butt off, but it was worth the wait. ”
