A local favorite, I have only recently starting eating there… breakfast out with the fam when in town. Kinda dumpy, the restaurant itself could use a little sprucing up. Although initially charmed by their accommodating us back at Christmas… They were full and didn’t have a table big enough for our group of 8. They turned us away but then called after us to say they could seat us in their party room. Great! But no… it was a catchall space with miscellaneous coffee pot parts, warmers, desk chairs, stacked tables, etc. it could have been depressing but we laughed it off and had a good time despite the loooonnnng wait for service and for our food. Ate there just this past week and the food (French toast and bacon) was not good at all. My scrambled eggs were yummy, though. The service was okay. The server we have had several times was out. SHE is very attentive and personable. I want to like it… I want to support local but give me something to come back for.
The first time we went it was Soo good .. this time we were served bacon with cold grease on it and the pancakes were burnt and two different sizes and the grits were scorched . When we told them about the grits the response was yea we burnt them this morning .. still charged us for them even thou they were scorched and was not fit to eat . I also so two cakes for sale for 25.00 dollars a piece and both of them had spots where there was no icing on them . They were lopsided and looked like something my grand son whom is three decorated .so disappointed with this place to eat . If this continues they won't be open long .
Nice quite atmosphere, friendly staff. Parking was a little questionable. There are spaces in front of the restaurant. Adjacent to the restaurant is what appears to be overflow parking for the Dutch Plate due to a store sign there but there's no indication that Dutch plate customers can park there.We had breakfast there so my food comments are for breakfast only.The bacon and sausage were surprisingly bland. The gravy was very good. Just like mama used to make. Pancakes were excellent and not just the recipe (tasted like Krusteaz) but the appearance of the pancakes were perfect. Point deduction for using spread instead of butter.The syrup given to us wasn't sweet. It looked like pancake syrup, flowed like it but it was bland. The great waitress brought out a different looking bottle and it tasted fine. I was a bit dismayed at her cleaning off the stickiness with some wet rag before handing it to us.Not sure if i would have breakfast again here only because of the bland tasting bacon and sausage. BUT i can hardly wait to come back for lunch cause it looks darn good.
The restaurant has an outdated and gloomy atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food was quite disappointing. The sausage and bacon were burnt, the grits were lumpy, and the eggs were undercooked. It feels like this place has lost its charm a long time ago, and I honestly don't understand how they still remain in business. The bathroom was also in poor condition, and the presence of roaches while I was using it made things even worse. I won't be returning. I've lived in this area for 30 years, and this is by far the worst experience I've had. The service was as good as it could be under the circumstances, but it wasn't enough to make me want to come back.
