Holiday Cafe — Restaurant in Town of Woodruff

We stopped here for a nice family breakfast, when going in it looks like a very clean and nicely remodeled restaurant. The sign directly in front of the door says PLEASE SEAT YOURSELF and then lists the daily specials all of which is written in chalk as it is at most restaurants. It was busy and there were a few people in the bar area slightly to the right of the direction of the tables. We proceeded to follow the arrow and plainly written direction to seat ourselves.

Recommendations.... just change the sign, all...

And there are few places that feel a little dirty- but they definitely put in the effort. 4pts for service- our waitress and staff were incredibly helpful and did all they could! Just was a slow night, per usual during the...

Stopped in for what I thought was going to be a quick lunch while passing through Woodruff on a bicycle tour. Waited about 15 min for a table which was reasonable. Ordered coffee and one blueberry pancake which took 50 minutes before it was served. I realize they were busy and it was a holiday weekend, but that amount of time seemed excessive. At no point did the waitress update me on my order and there was no "sorry about the delay" when I finally got it. I have no complaints about the food, but the service definitely needs...
