Salmon Patties are amazing and fresh!! The eggs were nice and fluffy. The sausage, egg and cheese biscuit was fresh and the baits were home made!
Up at 5:50 am typing this waiting for them to open. Biscuits are soooo . Breakfast is amazing. They have a hot bar for lunch but can still order off the menu if not to crowded
Had some meetings after an early flight in so we needed a good breakfast. This place didn't disappoint. Drive through was busy so we went in. Great service at the counter and even better food. Fresh and portions were great. Next time in town I'll be back.
Food just like your grandma use to make.. Real down home cooking always made to order..
The ordering line was packed but my server was extremely nice. It took 30 minutes for my breakfast to cook. It must have sat there waiting to be picked up. It was cold@. Dang! My server was back on the register so I ate enough to c coat my stomach and take my medicine without getting sick. Took the rest home in doggie bag. The owner inquired about my meal when I stood up to leave. I should have informed him of the issues, but my server was THAT nice. I didn't want to cause an issue with her. Prices are about the same as WH but it takes time. The do a busy take out so there were lots of orders ahead of mine. I'm going to try their lunch soon. If their bland grits are an indication of their seasoning [salt] I might bring Accent and Slap you Mama seasonings with me. I used to get my brother meals from here but that was pre!Covid. Will update my next visit.
