The food arrived fast and was pretty good. Their fruit crepes looked amazing, and the breakfast skillet showed up sizzling and was delicious!
I've been there 3 times now and each time was great. Friendly service and good food. Definitely recommended. Photo is Rueben with fries.
Amazing place! The food was phenomenal and i was sad i couldn't take my leftovers since I'll be on the road for a while. We were so excited to have gluten free pancakes!! The service was amazing. Our server (colette i think) was so kind, efficient and just so on top of everything in general while serving many other tables. If you want a delicious, classic midwestern diner experience, this is the place!
Delicious food. Good coffee. Great waitress. Love the small time feel of this quaint little place. Portions were good size. You'll leave full and satisfied. The pancakes were so fluffy and light! You'll not be disappointed.
I got the Paul bunyon and so did my travel mate. She got toast with hers and I got the pancakes. Came to 21.00. Great atmosphere the girls are great. I sat at the front bar area. They have a wonderful attitude and work well together. The omlette was HUGE and well worth the price. I couldn't even eat it all it was a lot of food. And tasted wonderful. Pancakes were slightly dry so make sure you order a sauce etc or use that syrup. I highly recommend this for breakfast If you want a hardy breakfast.
Went here for the first time with some friends, and did not dissappoint. When we got there, there was some confusion amongst the wait staff, but once we got seated our waitress was amazing. Multiple times I could see her speed walking even jogging rushing to get food out. Speaking of the food, it was good and very well priced. Will be coming back in the future
Imagine diving into a plate so indulgent, it feels like the ultimate breakfast challenge. The Lumberjack Skillet, a.k.a. Meat Lover’s Skillet, is not just a meal; it’s an experience. The first bite greets you with a perfect balance of mildly spicy sausage and savory ham, harmonized into a flavor so addictive, you just keep reaching for more... and more. Trust me, one bite won't be enough. The aroma hits you first: the mouthwatering smell of cooked ham, sausage, and subtle spices wafting from the steaming plate. It's the kind of smell that stops all conversation at the table. The eggs? Fluffy perfection, just as I ordered. The potatoes? Soft and subtly crispy, a crisp so delicate you might miss it (though personally, I’d love a little more crunch). Presentation-wise, this dish arrives as a heaping mountain of breakfast greatness. Think fresh, steaming eggs perched atop a bed of subtly spicy meats, finished with a fresh slice of creamy avocado (as requested). It’s a masterpiece of simplicity and satisfaction. As for the vibe? Monday morning between 10 and 11 is the sweet spot. The place was quiet, clean, and calm, with plenty of open seating. The fresh, comforting aroma of the kitchen hung in the air, a smell that felt like home, like care and appreciation went into every dish. The service? Prompt, but I’d have loved a few more check-ins to make sure everything was perfect. That said, huge ups to the cooks! They’re the real MVPs of this spot. If you’re a fan of skillets, omelets, or hearty breakfasts that don’t hold back, this place is a must-visit. Oh, and don’t skip the biscuits and gravy, they’re on point too.
