Good food and it's always consistent. Country diner style food. Pan cake is huge, Breakfast burrito is delicious & the fried fish lunch special is too. Pricing is great! A good place to eat especially for people camping & the locals seem to frequent often. Family friendly environment, where everyone knows you & smiles hello. Staff is very thorough, quick & helpful. Will definitely return!

Yummy! We were on a float trip and popped in here for brunch with our toddlers. We had pancakes, eggs, sausage, corn dogs (don't judge), fried chicken, and a salad. Everything was pretty good. The kids loved the sausage and the corn dogs. The friend chicken had a great crust and it was juicy inside. Service was good and it was easy to get a table. Yum!

On 9/11/2026 Leon Welmon had this to say:
This place felt like family. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable and the food was hot and fresh. I had to look twice at the prices given how cheap everything was. They don't skimp on the serving sizes either. I wish I lived closer!
