Driving through town for work and decided to stop for a quick breakfast — the biscuits did not disappoint! Flaky, buttery, and so soft. I had the chicken egg and cheese and sausage egg and cheese biscuit. The sausage one was better. Side of gravy made it even better. Will be back to try lunch!
You know those small, quaint, hole-in-the-wall places that end up being amazing? Yeah, this is one of those. Not many places have bologna biscuits — and when I find one, that's what I want. Smoked bologna, thick cut, on a biscuit that will melt in your mouth. Fantastic home-grown friendly service. Just go!
Arrived just before 10AM. Service was friendly and fast. I got the pancake plate and my husband got biscuits and gravy. Food was good and it wasn't crowded. Decent seating inside. I can't wait to go back and try their burgers.
Don't let the empty tables fool you — the health score is a 96. We got here an hour before closing and were quickly welcomed. Food came out in under five minutes and was hot and fresh. The staff were attentive without being overbearing. If I lived closer, I'd be a regular.
