“This was my husband and I first time here. I had the country breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon, tator tots (yes, tator tots!), and the biscuits and gravy. My husband had the corded beef hash, with sausage and eggs over easy and a biscuit. Everything was absolutely perfect! The eggs were not under or over cooked. The tator tots were perfect. The coffee was on point. Our server was friendly and attentive. We don't like chain restaurants so we are always looking for places like this. We will be back, which is something I don't say often.”
