We went here just before noon on a Friday. We all had breakfast but then heard we needed to get the homemade potato chips so we had an order of those too. The place is as described in the other reviews—country feel like grandma’s. It is open and has plenty of tables inside and out. The menu has typical diner food. A good selection and the prices are EXTREMELY reasonable! It was totally worth the drive from AG! I had the A Street Scramble and I asked for it scrambled soft and it was cooked perfectly! I rarely find a place that can scramble soft that can make it cooked and not hard at all! Loved that the scramble had a bunch of veggies and not overloaded with onions and peppers. I’m fact, this didn’t have peppers and instead had tomatoes and avocado! It also came with potatoes (or fruit), sausage patty (or bacon), and toast. We also had the pancakes—2 large and deliciously fluffy cakes came with sausage patty (or bacon), and 2 eggs. Last thing we ordered was the Eggs Your Way. They didn’t do soft boiled so we got poached soft and again, perfectly cooked! It came with fruit (or potatoes), and toast (or pancake). All of the dishes were well-seasoned. Definitely not over seasoned as I have experienced in some restaurants. I also asked for a side of salsa for my scramble and it was good, homemade (I believe)—not too spicy at all—upon first glance I was worried I might not be able to handle the heat (I’m weak) but it was delicious and not overly spicy (good for me). Oh, almost forgot about the chips! Not really. While we were there, I got a text saying I had to get a side of the potato chips. Good suggestion! Deliciously homemade fried to a nice crispness and not overly salty. We brought 2 sides home because they were so good! Staff was great as well. Folks continued to check in on us—“need more coffee?” “Need more water?” “Can I get you something else?” And really appreciated that the chef came out to double check about the eggs—we don’t do soft-boiled so do you want soft poached or over easy. I loved that they checked rather than assumed. 😊 All in all, a must try. The downsides are that they are only open Monday through Friday for breakfast and lunch. To me, those are small downsides’. Highly recommend for an affordable, delicious and wonderful meal! Thank you!

Always a good experience here. Clean, comfortable, with pleasant staff. My Black Forest ham, eggs, hash browns AND GF toast (YEAH!) were delicious. Coffee was hot and good. Carmen was an added bonus.
