Description

A beloved Boonville hometown diner, this cozy American-style spot is praised for huge, homemade breakfasts—massive pancakes, perfect eggs, fresh breads and hearty home fries—served in generous portions at budget-friendly prices. Friendly, fast service and a clean, quirky dining room (notable for a watch collection) make it a community staple. Practical notes: cash only with an ATM on site, monthly specials, and a limited black tea selection.

I don't visit frequently, but every time I do, I have an excellent breakfast. The pancakes are enormous, and I could easily cut my country fried steak with a fork. Everything was incredibly delicious. I also love the variety of watches from around the world displayed here.

Great little hometown diner! Great food and service. Couldn't count the number of times I've been there. So sad now that it's gone! A Boonville icon! Hope they will rebuild!

I always look forward to visiting this cozy little breakfast spot when I’m back home. In fact, I went twice last week! Their homemade breads and toast are simply AMAZING—I could eat them all day. The eggs are consistently perfect, which is hard to find (they're my favorite!). The home fries are also fantastic, and their special oatmeal genuinely makes me enjoy eating oat flakes! Some of my friends ordered the pancakes, which were incredibly delicious. The cinnamon bean pancakes looked amazing, though I believe that was a monthly special. You can choose from healthy options, hearty meals, and everything is fresh, homemade, and delicious. The only downside is the black tea; bring your own tea bag if you want something better than basic Lipton black tea. How about some Earl Grey or Irish Breakfast tea?

I love this diner for breakfast. I haven't been there for lunch or dinner but the breakfast food, prices, and service are fantastic. It's cash only but there's an ATM at the front door. I've never left hungry.

I placed my order from the lunch menu at 11:20, and it took a bit of time before it arrived. We ordered three servings of wings, and I must say, they were perfect and well worth the wait. This is a charming hometown diner—clean and staffed with friendly people. Definitely worth your time!
