Had a great time with some good friends here the other morning. I would recommend the oven baked pancakes. The table shared a pear pancake. It was incredible:)

They have very pleasant servers. The food I ordered was pretty good. The coffee was excellent not bitter tasting. I drop off my car at tent world for a wash had breakfast. My day is starting off great.
I didn't under stand all the negative comments but my experience was nothing like what was stated.

I live close by but had never been in before because it looks like an abandoned building from the outside. Wish I would've driven a little further to Denny's. $86 bucks for 4 for breakfast food is ridiculous! It's freaking pancakes and eggs! The place is run down. They didn't ever greet us when we came in or say we're busy it'll be a minute. At least 10 minutes went by before they acknowledged our existence. The staff was nice enough but not worth $86. They have mediocre food with high end prices. If your going for the dive look, then your prices need to match. Also you're not serving gourmet food, so? Won't be back ever.

I should have know better but i gave it a try any way. Customer service was poor 3 people got seated befor i got checked out for a to go order and the price was $21.00 for a omelet and toast the quality of the food is poor. Doesn't even deserve a review.

Best breakfast! Crepes amazing, actually all was delicious! The baked pear pancake is wildly good! Fair prices and great service!

I was surprised at how average this was because others gave it such high reviews.
It is diner food~ok, but not great. 18$ for a German style baked pear pancake was a high end breakfast entree~and all that came with that order was the pancake. The scrambled eggs, bacon ~and hash browns (of the frozen variety) were meh. I suppose for locals they may appreciate the owners, waitstaff and diner foods, but I would not go out of my way to go back. A tab for almost 70$ for three breakfasts was almost choke worthy!

This is one of my favorite mom & pop breakfast places. I highly recommend the pear oven-baked pancake (a house specialty item that's similar to a German style pancake), the oven-baked veggie omelette, or the continental crepes. Nice staff, great food.

Not good and only slightly preferable to hunger. The pancakes were bland and the overcooked shrimp in my overcooked omelet was terrible. Even the hollandaise sauce was not good and they are overpriced. I've never had a $20 breakfast that didn't come with hashbrowns, grits or fruit. It was just three pancakes and the overcooked omelet for $20.

Excellent customer service, delicious food, very generous portions. Best corn beef hash I ever had from any restaurant, pleasant experience while passing through the area

I ordered the spinach omelette. It was really delicious having been oven baked. But I must say the staff was particularly rude.

We come here for breakfast after church in Sundays. The atmosphere, quality of food, service, and price are all excellent. We especially enjoy the patio dining.

Not bad. Worst part of the meal was a guest came in and rudely asked to be seated after waiting no more than half a minute. The place was a bit busy and every one is understaffed right now, that last could have chilled out at 9am. Only reason for the 4 stars is because it's good, just had better but don't let that discourage anyone from going. They are friendly and nice.

The waiter brought my husband burned toast with his breakfast order. After making small talk about their beards, he served him what were visibly burned toast. Didn't apologized or said anything. We left and when we were paying cashier wanted to take out the burnt toast from the bill because it was a side order. Our server made a comment to the cashier saying, he's paying for the toast and laughed. Really bad taste. Once my husband told them that he was going to write his experience on yelp the server stopped smiling.

Coffee was burnt and the food was kind of pricy.
The pear pancake was really more of a bread pudding. Tasted ok but wasn't what I was in the mood for/expecting.
