I have always experienced excellent service at this restaurant. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. The coffee is decent. There are parking lots on both sides of the restaurant, so if one is full, you can usually find a spot on the other side.

Bar offers giant sandwiches with bags of chips after the restaurant closes. Great drink prices. Friendly staff.

Food was good. Lots of breakfast options. Sadly, service severly lacked on a Monday morning just before 10am. Was only a few tables with customers in the anger room with 2 servers manning. Took a while to get the food ordered. Then we were never offered coffee refills until my wife and I were done with our meal, plates stacked, credit card ready and waited about 10 minutes while the servers were busy doing side work. The food had been cooked in a timely manner and served to us hot. So the issues strictly land on the servers and not the kitchen. Was disappointing for a long standing food establishment in the area. And a breakfast place really needs to prioritize coffee service.

The biscuits and gravy tasted like they came from a can. The hash browns were undercooked with hardly any browning on them, similar to those at Denny's. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was nice.

At the counter or in a darker space/bar area, a nice atmosphere. Customers the people who work/visit are so nice. Excellent menu. Weekly specials are amazing, and they also have daily specials! Excellent establishment!
