Very local spot where locals hang & the owner serves up hospitality & a mighty fine experience! Sure to find your cup of coffee tipped off every little bit to keep it hot & you chattering with energy. Now for the food: Best Sausage gravy & Biscuits in the land I have found! Visiting Defiance I find great pleasure in scoping out spots that bring me great satisfaction & joy on the table to share. If you ever crave what this plate pictured, there is 2 options. Big Rumor or Little Rumor. No disappointment!

The people here ignored me and my girlfriend. They only ever came to ask about food in drinks no casual conversation like everyone else gets. Both of us ordered a Big Rumor. Bacon was almost raw, hard sausage patty, raw eggs only thing cooked was pretty much the edge of the eggs, hard potatoes. I ordered Over medium eggs. Plus the stares we received. I don’t even want to pay for my meal, I didn’t eat anything besides the premade pancakes. We shouldn’t have to pay $26 just for people to be biased.

"I love going to the Rumor Mill Cafe', everyone is very welcoming & nice. They are ready the minute I pull up. The food is Great, Good Coffee too! Really Recommend to check it out, especially if you're just passing through; you won't regret it. Plus, you will definitely get your money's worth & have a full belly; with no regrets or rip off. Better than going to a fast food, with high prices & be hungry a half an hour later. Seriously, check it out!"

I haven't been in the city for years so the revamp from Tom's Donuts to Rumor Mill is very noticeable for me. I enjoyed to old Superior coffee but the current coffee is just as good and still literally fresh ground per pot. First thing you notice is a carpeted dining room but it works. From the very clean kitchen (a rarity for a small kitchen) came my 3 eggs, home fries, ham and toast. Along with my coffee my bill came to just over 12 bucks. About $2.00 less than the same breakfast I order other places. I saw they had full biscuits and gravy with 2 eggs at $4.99 which I see at similar small restaurants at $7.99. You can also call ahead and pick up your meal from the drive...

I'm torn... Super homey feel, regulars don't even have to place drink orders, she just knows. Guys hanging out chatting, catching up, old couples and young families with kids. Would love to recommend everybody in Defiance or passing through stop and enjoy the good food, good prices, and great service, but I'd be afraid it would ruin some of the charm if the place got overwhelmed by people just looking to mind their own business...

But if you're up for the feel of a true local spot, the pie is hand made and everything is cooked from scratch to perfection, you can't...
