I called ahead and ordered take-out, only to find out when I arrived that my order had been given to someone else. I had to wait additional time upon arrival. The food is fantastic, service is crap!

The food was REAL!!! Real hand cut potatoes, fresh side thick crunchy bacon! The eggs were cooked perfectly. Sourdough bread is so soft it melts in your mouth. You are greeted like a family member and taken care of as such. Highly recommend!!!

Great find using Google Maps. The food and service was outstanding. This is just a great little place to experience this small town diner. It is in a historic building. There is plenty of parking in an adjacent lot. There is a picturesque river that flows right by this restaurant. Its is very well kept and clean including the restrooms.
