    Visited the place during our anniversary weekend and we were served very well despite the short wait and cramped space. We ordered eggs for breakfast and the waffles are great! The place is homey enough to enjoy!

    The wait.....we came at 10:35 our food didn't come until 11:15. So 40 minutes of waiting for breakfast. They said they were busy but we weren't warned before we ordered and being on the road it was way too long for us to wait.
    Eggs, toast were okay.
    The pancakes were phenomenal (the only reason this isn't lower score). Best pancakes I've had in the US
    The toilets are clean the staff is friendly.
    If you have an hour to waste waiting for your order - this is the place for you.

    Being a city lad. I always thought I-hop was the greatest until I visited this breakfast spot with my fiancé. All I have to say is WOW! The food is incredible. The employees care about the establishment. It feels like home. I highly recommend. Everything on the menu is delicious

    Thanks to Yelp we found this great local spot for breakfast near our hotel. Very quaint hometown place with great friendly service, and some great home style food!

    I got to have another one of my old school favorites Biscuits with sausage gravy, The biscuits were perfect and the sausage gravy was delicious! I also heard the French toast was great so I had a side of that also and the reviews didn't lie that was great too! I was told the corned beef hash was delicious as well...

    This was a perfect spot for breakfast definitely pay them s visit!

    I was sure I'd like this place when I read the origin story at the bottom of this page. Given that I veer toward salty over sweet, I figured I'd skip French toast but that left a tough competition between two other Yelp-approved items.

    In an extremely close race, I figured the biscuits and gravy would have more variability and also noted that it was listed at the top of the specials list, so the corned beef hash will wait for next time. I long for the days when I would have ordered both items, but I was happy. The coffee was good and the service was very friendly and efficient.
