This is my go to place for breakfast. Always fresh hot and delicious has been my experience. We went on Thursday Apr 4 around 11:30an and they were unusually busy this day. Practically every table was filled it seemed and it seemed to have caught the staff by surprise because they looked to be understaffed for this unusually busy crowd. However, as busy as it was the waitstaff were on top of it and were exceptional!!!! Everything was hot, fresh, and served in a timely manner. Our waitress was awesome!!!! She was a young girl with glasses I think her name was Natalie. Keep up the great work!!

Some fantastic breakfast food. The review pictures are better than the ones in the menu! Will be back again! Have come back twice since the first review and each visit is great! Tried the Irish breakfast with potato pancakes and it was excellent! I would be here more often if I lived closer but I'm about 35 min away.

We visited on Saturday morning, and there was no wait time. We ordered steak and Fajita skillet. They both were delicious, with good portion size. The toast was good, pancake was not good, and the coffee was burned. I only ate one bite from the pancake and didn't finish my coffee. But because of their main course and friendly service, i will visit them again. Prices are fair.

*Highly Recommend* *Friendly Staff* *Clean Tables and Comfortable Seating*
We were having a difficult time trying to find somewhere good to eat and were happy to have found this nice Cafe restaurant, my only negative would be the salad wasn't very fresh there were some slimy rotted pieces we had to pick out other than that everything was perfect.

We stopped in to HAPPY PLACE for breakfast. The food was great, but we really want to leave a review for our waitess, NATALIE. She was the best! She was very friendly, polite, and she checked on us several times. I noticed she did the same for all her customers. And she works with a smile on her face! We will come back, and hope she is working!
Thank you Natalie :0)

Food is fine. Regular breakfast and dinner lunch food. All edible but nothing amazing either. Servers have always been great. It's drafty in there in the winter so don't sit by the door.

Great place to have breakfast, especially if you like traditional. I haven't been here often because I live far away ... The first time I ate there was in 2020 and I was opening up a new store and this came up as a recommended place to eat breakfast. This last time I visited it was the family getting together in a neutral place. I can tell you from them until now I would highly recommend this place for breakfast as the food is delicious the service is speedy, The waitresses are great and the restaurant is very clean.

I could say a whole lot about this place, but I will just state the fact that it was a very toxic place to work at, with abusive cooks and a terrible human being for a busser. The busser is very incompetent and doesn't understand the duty of his job which is to pick up the dirty dishes from the table. He only picks off the cups from the table and leaves everything else for the servers. He would play mind games with me and leave creamers dishes FULL of EMPTY creamers on the table, after he wiped it clean, for me to clean up. Nothing would be done about this. Once I left this place, I stopped getting migraines four or five times a week. Overall, a terrible experience, and in my opinion you have to be part nuts to even work here. Its not worth the tips at all. Way better places out there.
