Not sure how this spot ended up being bookmarked. It was a beautiful Monday morning for a drive and I had them on my calendar for a while. I've been good with nutrition lately, but diverted back to one of my favorites. The biscuits and gravy were suggested by my server.
There wasn't much gravy. (which helps the calorie count) The sunnyside up eggs were served well done. Egg whites were golden brown and not much ooze from the yolk. Well water was nasty.
Servers seemed like they'd rather be doing something else, not a very bubbly personality.
Doubtful I'd make the pilgrimage again. I could see this place packed on the weekends as it was full on a Monday by 9:30am. Seems like lots of regulars visit which hang out and socialize.
I ordered, ate and left and a large group of regulars hadn't even ordered. I heard the server say "There's no tables right know" to a party of 2, and I went outside to free up my table and finish my coffee.
It does have that small town charm I like. There's also a great story of their humble beginnings from 1921 on the menu. I'll bump them up to 3.5 stars, just was...

Read moreRecently found this place. It reminded me of the diners of old. My waitress was very nice and informed me of the daily special that day. "Country fried steak and eggs with gray". It was exceptional and tasty to say the least. Though it wasn't very busy. I found my hash brown's not so good. They were burnt in areas and they were not hot? I can't help but feel as if "they may have used a previous batch". But I obviously can't prove that. All in all a very good breakfast. I liked it enough to go back a second time. Everybody, every place deserves a second chance. On my second visit I was asked to try their skirt steak and eggs. "Everything" was delicious and hot. I will be returning again. I'm glad I went back, and will...
