    Stopped here for a local breakfast. Small place with great home cooking. Cash only so be prepared for that.

    Stopped for breakfast Sunday, food was great. Noticed that the lady cooking spent alot of time being frustrated and yelling out "it will be an hour to get your food" seemed frustrated they had so much business and all the customers I looked at had a look on there face like an episode of Seinfeld where if you don't order correctly the owner screams at you and kicks you out. Overall, wouldn't go back because they clearly don't want the business as they have plenty.

    This is my all-time favorite breakfast and burger place. It is like something from the past emerging out of the mist of time. Wonderful informal atmosphere. Low prices. Friendly efficient and attentive service. A place where local people come to chat with each other and with the staff, which consists of the owner, her family, and one or two others who expertly work the grill behind the counter. The burgers are amazing. Just the right amount of fresh beef on a delicious grilled soft bun. When I ordered a burger with mushrooms, Swiss cheese, fried onions, and bacon, more of the extras fell out as I was eating it than the whole amount that comes with most burgers. When I came back a couple of days later for an egg burger, the sunny side up egg I asked for was perfectly done. The chicken noodle soup was also excellent. I only wish I didn't live 2,000 miles away from the place. I will miss it.

    Best place for good eats this side of anywhere. Plain old fashioned homecooked food with friendly people. Best place bar none for breakfast. No credit cards and I love that too, great way to pass on savings to customers. Keep it up Penny and crew ????????
