This local eatery truly embodies the charm of a great hidden treasure that deserves recognition. The food is delicious, the staff is friendly, and the breakfast served all day, including perfectly cooked eggs and tasty biscuits and gravy, makes for an enjoyable experience that I look forward to revisiting.

The open faced hot roast beef sandwich with the mashed potatoes and gravy was amazing! The service was friendly and quick. Will definitely be coming back!
