This is our "Go to place for Breakfast"!! The food is always tasty. The portions are large, often it is enough for 2 full meals with the take home box. The omelettes are 3 egg with just about any available extras that one could think of. Ranging from typical American toppings to Mexican chorizo to pizza sauce. Always good and enjoyable. Most breakfasts include choice of potatoes, ( country or hash browns )biscuits and gravy, pancakes, swedish pancakes, french toast and my favorite off menu choice of French toast made with sourdough bread. Service is stellar even when they have a line out the door waiting for a table. The wait is worth it, as the regulars are well aware of. The interior is dated with ecletic wall hangings of paintings, deer head and farm tools. Not a high end atmosphere, but if you want good old home style cooking, this is the place to go. It is one of those hole in the wall places that those in the know are looking for.

Good food, but dirty Food was good, big portions, bacon tasted like home. But the place is filthy. A carpeted dining room doesnt help, but the bathroom walls probably havent been cleaned in years, or the doors, and there was a decidedly disturbing dried ketchup splatter on the side of the counter. Ironically for all this dirt, the moment my food was served, someone started mopping behind the counter with a very powerfully scented pine cleaner. Interesting adventure, like traveling to a third world. Great food, but distinct lack of cleanliness. Also, the water tasted like old pipes.

On a slow Sunday morning, we had finished our pretty decent breakfast and were enjoying conversation with our company, only to be asked to leave within minutes of getting the bill because some group wanted our table. There were at least 3 other tables of the same exact size that were open, and there was no queue. Why would you ask paying guests to vacate a table in a restaurant when there were vacant tables? While I cant say anything bad about the meal or service, the management here should certainly re-evaluate their approach to customer service .

The staff there is awesome. Friendliest people Ive yet met. But. . . .the food is mediocre (for what I had) waffle sandwich. Waffle was over cooked and served cool - didnt melt the butter. Bacon was okay, eggs were supposed to be over hard (mine had runny yokes), coffee was not good at all, very bland. Again the staff was great. Lots of parking out back, location was difficult for my GPS to find, it showed me 2 different incorrect locations. Its easier just to look for the address on the street.

This little restaurant is unassuming from the outside and the inside was the same. Our waitress was friendly and fast. I got the breakfast special of two pancakes, two sausage links and two eggs. The food came out rather quickly. The pancakes were nice and fluffy and the sausage links were fairly big. The portion size was large and I can say that I left fool. The price did seem to be a bit much but I have found that is the norm for this area.

Quantity over quality cafe. Its a hole in the wall place that serves lots of food, but has no taste. I tried their Fried Chicken (bland, no seasoning), waffle (bland), french toast (first bite had flavor then just tasted like bread), sausage (this actually tasted good), eggs and hash browns. Everything was cooked nicely, just no flavor. Average plate is $10-15.

This place was great! Kind of a little hole in the wall diner place but the staff is all really friendly. Great family breakfast place. Tons of selection for egg dishes and omelettes. I had the breakfast burrito which was probably big enough to make three meals out of it. It was delicious. Definitely recommend!!!

Great food and good staff. This is my second time coming to this eatery and it doesnt disappoint. Ordered my daughter a waffle and my fiance and I had the hash Browns with Italian sausage. Very tasty. Big portions, but a little pricey. Nevertheless... I give it 5 stars.

Amazing dinner, the staff is friendly and courteous and the food is really special.We had the Bronzino and the heirloom tomatoes which were out of this world on toast. The champagne was really lovely too when you are on date night it is great to celebrate your love.

Surprisingly good breakfast joint in a place you just wouldnt expect. The place is somewhat "rustic" and dated, but food is very tasty. Portions are big! The place gets really busy and parking can be a problem.

Chicken fry is quite good. Portion is too large though... Im a big eater but I never touched the biscuit although I really wanted to... Staff members are friendly. Like this place.

By far one of the best hidden breakfast places in the area. Dont let the outside look of this place fool you. Best things about this place is that the portions are pretty big.

This place was great! We stopped here on our way back to San Francisco, for breakfast. The portions were monstrous as was the taste of the food. Highly recommended!

Nice cozy little place with a friendly customer base, parking is out the back and food is good and relatively cheap. Worth a stop for an early breakfast.

Great little hole-in-the-wall breakfast place. Satisfy your greasy spoon cravings here with chicken fried steak and other comfort foods.
