He Said
When I am feeling like a good home cooked breakfast or lunch and want to feel like I stepped into someone’s home I’m heading here. Meeting up my friend for breakfast I was excited as I have wanted to visit this breakfast hot spot ever since we started this website. I think my excitement got the better of me as I ended up ordering way too much! But it all sounded and looked good coming out of the kitchen. I wasn’t joking about the home feeling. Walking in we were greeted and seated quickly with a very casual “Hey there’s an open seat over here”. Our waiter introduced himself and was available as we needed him but wasn’t overbearing. But I felt like I was asking telling my brother what I wanted. It is a very comfortable environment. Looking around it has a country kitchen motif without overdoing it like a Cracker Barrel. So as I said, my eyes were bigger than my stomach and I may have taken on more than I could chew. I ordered a bacon and cheese omelet that came with hash browns and a choice of toast or for a small charge the biscuits and gravy I had been dreaming about. Of course I went with the biscuits and gravy. Now most people would stop there but I continued with a “small” order of pancakes. I asked for one but the waiter said it would be cheaper to order a side which came with two small pancakes. I never argue with a good deal. My hint to you, a small pancake is what I consider a normal pancake. My omelet was huge and if you looked at the pictures you can see it came with what looked like a pound of bacon inside. I love bacon. This made me happy. The bacon was perfectly crispy and crunchy. The hash browns were simple and like any other hash brown you could get at a Denny’s. The pancakes were enjoyable and with all the options, I’d come back and focus on a pancake breakfast. My breakfast companion had a combo with eggs and pancakes and bacon. He added blue berries to the pancakes and after asking if he wanted them on top or cooked within, he went with the latter. My companion’s pancakes initially looked like they had no blueberries. We pondered if they had forgotten, but one cut into the pancake and it exploded with blueberries. I have never seen so many in one HUGE pancake. I have aptly named them, “Blueberry Surprise Pancakes”. I save the best for last. The biscuits and gravy. It was so enjoyable. I am salivating just writing this post. The biscuits were cake like and different than what I expected. The gravy had nice size chunks of slightly spicy sausage and lots of pepper sprinkled in the white thick scoop of heaven. Remember when I said I would come back and do a pancake breakfast? I don’t know if I can do that and stay away from the biscuits and gravy. The prices are so reasonable nothing is stopping me from getting both, except my expanding waistline. Don’t even get me started on the lunch portion of the menu which has me excited as well. Like the regulars who came walking in during our visit to be greeted with a friendly “There you are we were wondering when you were gonna show up”, I have a feeling they are going to be saying the same thing to me in the future. |

Tucked in a Strip Center you could easily drive by and not think twice about this little place. As I walked in I was pleasantly welcomed by the staff and noticed how cute and simple this little restaurant was. I literally felt like I had step straight into a “small town” Ma & Pa diner. Our waitress was extremely friendly and knew all the regulars by name (even had an ice tea ready for the mailman!) I went for breakfast and after looking over the menu I just wanted EVERYTHING. It was a hard decision but I finally decided on eggs-scrambled with sausage patties and a buttermilk pancake (yes only one because they are HUGE.) It was homemade goodness on a plate! Exactly the traditional flavors you want for a comforting breakfast. I seriously felt like I was getting this straight out of grandma’s kitchen. “He” had raved about the biscuits & gravy so twist my arm, I had to get a side of that. The biscuit was surprisingly dense and had more of a corn bread consistency…but you don’t hear me complaining! It was delicious. Accompanied by a side of peppery gravy with hints of sausage in it. Lip smacking good! I smothered that poor little biscuit with all the gravy. Heaven! The portions are tasty and huge, the prices are low, the wait staff is outstanding…you must go! |
