Small mom and pop place. Good breakfast, biscuits and gravy were the hit. Sweet people. We inundated them with a bunch of people so took a while but they kept at it. Like to see them get low tables for breakfast. They would do well. It is a bar but breakfast was great. Homemade.

Always a great place to go on hot summer days drink a cold (BEER) or in my case drink a cold (MOUNTAIN DEW). ALWAYS nice people working and always putting a smile on your face and always wearing a big warm happy smile when they approach you. Love this place!!!!!!
