Spectacular breakfast, awesome service and the owner was super nice. Prices are super reasonable especially in the days we are where Taco Bell is 50 bucks. Our one year old was getting pretty loud so I shushed her- the owner saw and he came over and told us kids can be as loud as they want in his restaurant- anyone who didn’t like it could leave. He had my daughter laughing- it was just a super cool vibe. Had a hash brown casserole thing with their in house hot sauce, a burrito and peaches and cream stuffed French toast with a side of bacon. All top notch and the coffee cup never even gets to half empty. We will be back... apologies for pictures - forgot until we had already started eating lol

Went today for the first time, and everything was fantastic! Great service, fantastic food, and quick! One of the best Western omelets I've ever had and the pancakes were big and delicious! We will definitely be returning to this spot for sure.

This was one of the best breakfasts I have had in a while. The biscuits and gravy and hash were the stars for our group but there was nothing mid. Dom, the owner was funny and inviting. Told us each week are different specials. Will be back soon!

Update: it's all still fresh, hot and delicious! Best mom and pop breakfast place! Everything is homemade and as fresh as it can be! If they have "the wick" chowder for a special I say try it! Breakfast specials everyday and lunch specials Monday - Friday! Breakfast and lunch Monday- Friday until 2pm and breakfast Saturday until 1pm and Sunday until noon. (Sorry the food has been eaten a bit! It was just too good not to dig into right away!)
