Our server, Ivan, a local Warren graduate, was fantastic! He offered great suggestions and enthusiastically accommodated all our requests. The deep-fried French toast had wonderfully sweet, crispy edges and a soft, buttery center. My guest loved her steak smothered in country gravy, paired with perfectly cooked potatoes and an egg. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were reasonable.

We finished everything except for the pancakes, which were enormous! I couldn't believe their size. I highly recommend sharing the pancakes with your group.

We opted to have breakfast outside because it was quite crowded inside. However, sitting outside meant being right next to parked cars, which exposed us to the exhaust fumes, making it less enjoyable. Unfortunately, I can't comment on the ambiance indoors.

Ambiance: Fairly small inside, felt more like a diner than a cafe to me, though. I think they did a great job with the setup making table close but not crowded.... read more Ambiance: Fairly small inside, felt more like a diner than a cafe to me, though. I think they did a great job with the setup making table close but not crowded. There wasn't much decor, but it was nice and clean. Service: Great service, though we went on a fairly busy day, we didn't have to wait too long for a table. We never had to find our server or wait long for requests. They were very kind and attentive! Food: I enjoyed my meal, the waffle was fluffy and a good texture, bacon was perfectly crispy, and my Hash Browns were cooked well. Overall I liked this place, I was not amazed but I was satisfied. Parking is kind of annoying, and the lot is slightly small.

Portions are very generous. Food is great. Awesome customer service. read more Portions are very generous. Food is great. Awesome customer service.
