On 8/21/2025 John Munsch had this to say:
Great breakfast menu. Food was excellent. Service was great. We will eat there again when we visit the area.

On 8/12/2025 Autumn Worth had this to say:
Have tried different mom & pop breakfast places in the area and this one has the best atmosphere by far. Very cozy and relaxed, really a local treasure. No place around here makes my favorite omelette (mushroom, garlic cloves, provolone) but their 'Midnight omelette' (mushroom, swiss, onion) is the closest I can get. Their pizza omelette is also delicious and a must try.
