This place is delicious! Living out here in the country there’s not a lot of options for food nearby. You have to go into town, Which is mostly fast food no good Quality home-cooked food options. For me as it’s right at the end of the road, I live on. It’s super convenient also so worth it. They are always smiling in there , anytime I’ve ordered to go. She brings it out to my car for me. They recognize me every time I come in. I like the family atmosphere. If you’re looking for a good quality breakfast or lunch made fresh to order and family atmosphere This is your place. I’ve not had anything on the menu that was bad! You should definitely check them out.

Wonderful stop for some quality food. I went with the special of the day and was not disappointed. My wife had a plentiful large salad with chicken which was also tasty. Pleasant, clean dining room and nice atmosphere. Next time we’re in the area, we’ll definitely be stopping here for a meal.
