    They close at 2 on Sundays and we showed up around 1:20 and there were people waiting to be seated before us. They did not make us feel rushed at all! Took our order and brought everything out hot and cooked with care. Everything was very good! The waitress was amazing and very attentive! Made sure we had everything we needed. This place is definitely going into our rotation for breakfast.

    One thing, the entrance is in the back and so is the hostess. They need to put a sign on the front door to direct people to the back. Otherwise everything was delicious well prepared to our expectations ! The drive and wait of over 20 minutes was worth it! If you’re not hungry order from the kids menu.

    This place was very friendly and homey. The decorations and staff are very nice and attentive. I got a BLT with fries, that was pretty good, standard what you think. The bacon was good and crispy and thick. The fries were lacking salt but nice and thick and crispy outside and soft on the inside. My fiancee had the vegetable sandwich and loved it. The only thing she would have changed was they put all the avocado on one side of the sand which and then cut it in half so only one half had it all. My friends got the loco moco with over medium eggs. They loved it. One devoured it and one wished she could eat more if she wasn't so full. My friend also got the French toast with fruit including strawberry, blueberry, and banana and whipped cream. He said the French toast was great and tasted pretty sweet but the toppings made it. He absolutely demolished those. My other friend got a cheeseburger and she said it was nice, it was big and juicy and the cheese was melty and good. Another friend got the blueberry pamcakes and said they were huge. They came with whipped cream.she got two in an order and only finished ¾ of one. She said they were fluffy and delicious. The portions here were on the larger side but not crazy huge. The only issue we had was they lost part of our order due to a ticket printing issue. They fixed it and comped our drinks for the mistake. Over all I liked it a lot and so did my group. Will definitely go again!

    This place is a perfect blend of great comfort food and small-town hospitality. I stopped in at 10 am. on a Wednesday. The place was packed with a dozen people waiting in a small waiting area. I sat at the last seat at the bar ,chicken fried steak was my choice, and I was not disappointed .So crispy, not greasy country potatoes perfect, gravy on point, fresh carrot cake muffin with whipped butter.I watched many beautiful plates leaving the kitchen and observed fast efficient kitchen staff . I was told by the owner that on weekends, it's 1 and a half to 2 hours wait with a line around the building. This place is famous for their cornbeef hash only served on Friday's and sells out by noon, also only breakfast and lunch served. I can't wait to go back on Friday. Almost forgot the owner was my server, and she was so nice and answered all my questions. I was very impressed .

    Small diner style eatery. Food was great. The cooks put honest effort into the food. Crispy potatos without asking! Parking is a bit complicated, but it's worth dealing with. If you want a home style breakfast vs a big chain restaurant..this is where you go. Staff was attentive and friendly. I'd be a regular if I lived here.

    30 minute wait time around 10 am but well worth it. Service was fast and got all of our food within 10 minutes. Food came out hot and fresh and the Our West Burrito for 11 dollars is hard to beat. Hot, fresh, cheesy devilishness. The biscuits and gravy were also a steal. tons of food for $8. Very generous portions and delicious definitely must try if you’re in the area.
