IMHO This is a cute locals favorite, right around the corner from Gayle's. IYKYK They're open for breakfast and lunch from 7 - 2:15. The owner/proprietor (I think) warmly greeted us and told us to choose our table. There are about 8 tables in this cozy establishment, or you can sit at the counter and watch the Cook cook! We were lured here by the reviews of the hash browns. I am not an afficionado of hash browns, I just know what I like. I expect my hash browns to be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and not greasy. These fit the bill! Super yummy! My husband and I shared the "three extra-large ranch eggs any style with hash browns and English muffin, and choice of bacon, sausage or ham" for $17.95. I opted for scrambled eggs, and bacon. Normally I'd eat fried eggs, but I only eat those when I'm staying at home. Again, IYKYK. My eggs were a tad rubbery, but I ate 'em. The four pieces of bacon were thick and flavorful! You already know the hashbrowns were my favorite on the plate! This plate's portion was perfect for the two of us! We certainly got bang for our buck! Our friends ordered the Popeye omelet; spinach, onion & cheese, with mushrooms added, $17.95, and the Strawberry French Toast special. Suffice it to say, they cleaned their plates as well. Friendly service, good food, homey vibe. What more can you ask for?

Food is simple, classic, breakfast cafe food. It was delicious and the service was lovely. A small space, so plan accordingly, but well worth a visit. Easy parking with its own lot.

Nice homey place. You can tell the locals love it. Food was just like homemade. Real eggs, crispy hash browns and yummy bacon. Sweet server and prices average for breakfast.

My favorite place for breakfast and lunch. Great service and yummy food. Makes me wish I still lived in town.

Very home-y place, mom and pop style diner where you can tell the locals frequent. Very quick and kind service! Ordered the French toast with coffee and orange juice. Everything was good. :)

I agree with another Yelper - best hash browns I've ever had! I order a little crispy, flavor and texture were wonderful. Service was good, simple with no hovering. The place is super small but a flow of regulars confirmed the quality of the place. Highly recommend for a diner breakfast

This is a hidden gem!!!!! Foundly a HOT Breakfast cooked the old fashion way! Please stop reading and stop in and enjoy a true old fashion meal! Have a SuperGreat Meal.

WOW this place was quite the experience... We walked in and were IMMEDIATELY greeted with an instant whiff of oil and grease, since the kitchen isn't separate from the dining area. This doesn't usually bother me, but the smell seemed way more potent than usual, and if you're sensitive to this kind of environment, might be best to skip this place. Anyway, the food here was really tasty, and you can literally watch as everything is being freshly prepared. This is such cute little business and it really feels like you're in a small town diner :-) Overall it's nothing fancy or amazing, but a really fun and unique spot for a quick bite!
