“ Old school cafe with rustic decor. The no frills breakfast we had was excellent and reasonably priced! We had the western omelette and the coffee shop special. Hash browns and thick-cut bacon were nice and crisp. The sausage patties had a nice kick of spice, thick and crumbly. The pancake was huge and fluffy. Homemade biscuits. Omelette had lots of flavor. Definitely a place to go if you have a hankering for breakfast! ”
