The breakfast served all day here hits all the right notes with perfectly cooked eggs over easy, hearty corned beef hash, and biscuits smothered in rich gravy that evoke nostalgic, comforting flavors. The kitchen hums with a tight, efficient rhythm, turning out generous portions of classic, no-frills dishes that satisfy without pretense, while the friendly staff adds warmth to the straightforward, homey atmosphere. Though the surroundings show their wear and a few persistent flies test patience, the overall experience delivers solid, flavorful fare at a price that feels just right.

This local eatery truly embodies the charm of a great hidden treasure that deserves recognition. The food is delicious, the staff is friendly, and the breakfast served all day, including perfectly cooked eggs and tasty biscuits and gravy, makes for an enjoyable experience that I look forward to revisiting.

The open faced hot roast beef sandwich with the mashed potatoes and gravy was amazing! The service was friendly and quick. Will definitely be coming back!
