On 2/18/2025 Bigg Nate had this to say:
Stopped in for breakfast to go for my wife and I. A young lady Immediately met me at the register and took my order. I ordered two of the "build your own omelet deals with mushroom, tomato, bacon, ham, green pepper and American cheese. We decided on pancakes instead of toast, and a side of bacon each. I stood by the register while I waited for my order to be made, and one of the customers says to me, "Come on over here and have a seat, we're not gonna bite (in jest)!". I thanked them for the invite, but let them know that I needed to go the post office and would return very soon. She bagged up my order very well and made sure that I had everything I needed to enjoy our breakfast. We really enjoyed it and wish I could give them a 4.75 for food instead of a 4. The only reason that I didn't give a 5 for the food, was the American cheese in the omelet seemed to be Velveta, and it was concentrated in the center of my omelet and was just too much. I know for the NEXT TIME to chose another type of cheese, but everything was delicious.
