We've had breakfast here half a dozen times over the past year. It's a "just okay" experience and is fine if you are meeting friends for more of a social time than if you are expecting a quality food or attentive service experience.

First the good stuff: 1 - Very family-friendly atmosphere. Lots of families with kids and even infants can be found here on a weekend morning. 2 - Large off-street parking lot in back of the restaurant. 3 - Pleasant outdoor seating in summer months overlooking the river, forests, and fields.

Now some features that unfortunately lean more toward "meh:" 1 - The food is inconsistent from visit to visit, offering very simple flavors and ingredients that are standard "diner" fare and not very interesting -- and (for us at least) the food is not very carefully prepared, portioned, or presented about half of the time. 2 - There is almost zero awareness or care when it comes to food sensitivities or preferences, so don't expect to be heard in that regard. 3 - There can be "surprise additions" to the bill because the menu is not very clear. For example, I've ordered the same omelet twice, and on one occasion the hash browns were included (as it seems to indicate on the menu for that omelet) and on another visit that same omelet had a $3.50 upcharge for the same side of hash browns (and the server would not adjust this upcharge when we brought it to her attention). 4 - The portions can sometimes be a bit skimpy for the price. 5 - It can get pretty noisy inside the main dining area...so if you want more quiet, maybe choose a booth in the room opposite or sit outside. 6 - The servers seem to be hit-or-miss. You may get someone who is friendly, attentive, and on-the-ball, or you may get someone who doesn't know the menu, forgets half of your order, doesn't check in (or refill waters and coffee, etc.), and is a bit gruff. This doesn't seem to have anything to do with how busy things are on a given day...it's just the luck of the draw. 7 - Ozzie's doesn't take reservations. This means you could wait five minutes for a table on a weekend morning...or 50 minutes.

All-in-all we wouldn't choose to go here for the dining experience or the food, but we've enjoyed meeting friends here before heading out for a hike or other activities.
