The food is always reliable here and the service is equally as good. I had a short stack of buckwheat pancakes and they were perfect. The waitress was very nice and had a good sense of humor. Breakfast and Lunch are a sure shot here, never had dinner. More

When we got in there we waited for aprox 5 minutes before ANYONE even spoke to us. There was a man that had come in behind us that knew one of the waitresses and she... More

In the morning we were treated to still-warm cinnamon rolls that literally melted in your mouth, in addition to some delicious hot coffee and fruit salad created well-being and a good start to the day.
