Went here for the first time to give it a try. The restaurant was clean and welcoming. As soon as we were seated a waitress came to get our drink order. The coffee and tea arrived quickly and we gave our food order which also came out promptly. Unlike many places that serve breakfast, the coffee here was very good. The food was also very good and portions were generous. The waitress was friendly and efficient. The only thing that prevents me from giving a five star review is the prices. The breakfast with ham was $13.95 because of a $4 upcharge for ham steak instead of sliced ham which was a bit much. Also...$2.95 for coffee and tea is higher than anywhere else. Current listed menu prices are higher than listed online menu price so could they please up date the pricing? All in all, we'll be back because the good outweighed the bad.

Nice spot to enjoy a meal. Food was good and fast. Service was friendly. We all had a variety of items. Only bad side was cash only day of our visit from internet issues so we had to limit our order to accommodate.
