"Upon entering the restaurant, I found the atmosphere quite open and sterile at first. However, it became more inviting once we settled into a booth. The service, on the other hand, was lacking. The sole waitress on duty was friendly but not particularly attentive. We often had to summon her whenever we needed anything, as she didn't check on us during our meal. Her only visits to our table were to bring our food. Our meals took an unusually long time to arrive, which made me suspect there might be a staffing issue—and I was correct. While we were eating, the owner or manager came over to apologize for the delay caused by a labor shortage, and he graciously informed us that our meal would be complimentary because we had waited longer than expected. This was a thoughtful gesture, and while we offered to pay, he cut our bill by half. As for the food, it was typical diner fare. We had weak coffee, eggs, decent bacon, hash browns (which could have been cooked a bit longer but were not overly greasy), toast, tasty grits, French toast (which was rather underwhelming), sausage, pancakes (which were quite good!), and breakfast tacos made with store-bought Mission flour tortillas, which was disappointing. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to try the biscuits, which looked big and fluffy, nor did we sample the lunch menu. Overall, nothing from the menu really stood out as distinctive or memorable, except for the pancakes. The prices were higher than I anticipated for the location and size of the establishment. On a positive note, the bathrooms were clean and well-maintained. Overall, the experience was just average. If you do decide to stop by, I'd recommend the pancakes with bacon. At the next table, a woman ordered a biscuit breakfast sandwich that looked absolutely delicious, but unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to taste it."

"2024 Update: My crepes with fresh strawberries looked good, but every few bites, I detected something that was a little off. My friend and I appreciate that they let us sit there for a few hours, but I for one, am not returning. I developed horrific digestive cramps and was doubled over in pain. I had to stay in a public restroom for 30 minutes and was afraid I wouldn't be able to drive home. Something was bad indeed I hightailed it to the bathroom when I got home. Once this spoiled food was out of my system, I was fine and dandy!! This is a typical coffee shop with a vast menu, serving classic breakfast items all day. We did not get the basket of rolls I noticed on other tables perhaps this only comes with certain menu items. The waitress let us chat and catch up for as long as we wanted before we ordered, which was nice. We also were able to sit and talk for several hours without anyone chasing us out. On the downside, our waitress was completely inattentive and never brought us more water after I asked. I ordered three scrambled egg with potato pancakes. The apple sauce was literally a teaspoon. I asked for maple syrup, because I didn't want to use the other little side of sour cream. The eggs must have been extra small, because they sure didn't look like three eggs. The potato pancakes were so solid and dense, I think I could have used them as brick pavers on my front stoop! Overall, the experience was a little disappointing, considering some of the glowing reviews."
