Awesome mom n pop place. Husband ordered pancakes, eggs and sausage and I had a cheeseburger. Pancakes were generous in size and very good. Sausage had good flavor. Cheeseburger with lettuce tomato and onion. Lots of toppings. Perfect.

What a delightful surprise at this charming little diner! The owner is incredibly kind and works hard, greeting customers and serving piping hot coffee. As my son exclaimed, "This is the best breakfast ever!" The pancakes were large and fluffy, and the eggs tasted like they were freshly sourced from local farms. The coffee was promptly refilled, and everyone inside was friendly, making us feel like we were visiting a friend's home. I highly recommend this place! Come for the delicious food, and stay for the warm atmosphere and excellent service.

This is undoubtedly the best family-owned restaurant I've ever dined at! The service is exceptional, and the food is absolutely comforting. Having moved to Iowa a few years ago, Craig's dishes make me feel right at home.
