“ A small town delicious gem! The biscuits and gravy are truly amazing! More of a biscuit pot pie, or calzone, it was flaky, crisp, and so filling. Like nothing I've ever had. Hand made as are all of the dishes. Cinnamon rolls are huge with sugar frosting. Pizzas are one size with a perfect baked cheese layer. And don't miss the daily specials. Priced to fill the family. You won't walk away hungry. ”
“ I had past this cafe many times over the past few years and since I had been up all night after my 12 hour shift and I needed something to eat. I had the Newt burger it was delicious but was only able to eat half of it and Dr. Pepper actually tasted like it should so many places don't. My only regret is that I left the other half of my burger at my friend's place and right now that sounds so good. ”
“ Unusual in that there is no fryer, so even the tater tots are baked. We had reuben and Mediterranean paninis. We saw a full pizza and sandwich menu, basically pick your own ingredients. Very tasty and good portions. We were there at 2 pm after lunch rush, so the friendly cook/server/owner had time to chat with us. Very pleasant, homey, clean but aging decor. Sandwiches in the 8-10 range. Beer available but not a feature. We live 10 miles away and we will eat here again. ”
“ We had always talked about stopping, finally did, and now we wish we had been coming here for years. If you leave here hungry, it is your own fault. Portions are enormous. They even warn you. So good. We got the stuffed B&G and the breakfast calzone. ”
“ Absolutely fantastic burger! Fries were perfectly cooked. Wonderful small town cafe. Service was very friendly and the place was clean as could be. ”
“ This place was absolutely amazing! The cook was so friendly. She brought blocks out for my hungry kids to play with until the food was made. She always checked on us and she was over all a joy to be around. The food was absolutely delicious too! Definitely a place we are going back to. My 5 year old who is a picky eater even ate all her food and wanted more. I can't say enough good things. ”
“ The best small town cafe I have been to in a long, long time. Fantastic classic American food, a menu with good variety, and very affordable prices. The owner is so friendly and gets to know all of her customers. You really feel the love here. Can't recommend this little gem enough! ”
“ Absolutely an amazing little restaurant. Pies, shakes, malts oh my. The French Fries and Tater Tots are baked not fried, and they are amazing. You definitely have to stop and try it out. You will be back again, I guarantee it! Very friendly staff and customers. ”
