Great service and down-home food at a laid-back restaurant - until it's time to decorate for the holidays. Then it's no hold barred! Although October and December are the best times to visit for the every-inch-covered decorations, good food is always in season here. Plain and simple, but yummy and filling.

The food is just average. I haven't been wowed by the food and I have eaten there several times. There is an outdoor patio. Service is good. They decorate for Halloween and Christmas and it is worth a trip there just to see this! They do an excellent job on decorations. For Halloween the servers dress in costume also. Bring... More

Just a flat out great breakfast...eggs benedict with smothered home fries and country biscuits and gravey for my guest. Everything was cooked to perfection and was full of flavor. Check it out.

The restaurant was decorated over-the-top for Christmas & a few of the servers were dressed as elves. Lot's to look at for sure. Our server was nice, however, listening to every piece of her jewelry collection was not so much fun. Coffee stale & old - after I asked for a fresh cup I was told she knew it's been... More

Someone recommended this place to us so we finally decided to check it out. The cafe had a "dirty" feel to it and we weren't sure if we should stay. We did and proceeded to order our meals. The food wasn't great and the price was a little steep. Many people had told us about the decorations in the cafe.... More

We went Tuesday morning for breakfast. The food was great. The waitresses were all decked out in Halloween costumes and friendly as could be.... More

Went there with wife and two kids. Lots of choices on the menu. Food was decent and fast. Decor has a relatively relatively cheap feeling to me, sort of faux country. Meal was not inexpensive, nor outstanding. Fine but I would not frequent the place if I lived here (I do not).

We went on a Sunday morning and there were people waiting outside. I asked several people about the food and they all told me it was great. When we stepped inside I loved it! They decorate the place in the most current holiday theme... literally every inch of it! We were there for Christmas, but apparently they actually closed the... More

A quirky little place with great breakfast. The atmosphere and service aren't anything special, though they decorate for holidays like you've never seen. The breakfast is why we come- great omlettes and and amazing country hashbrowns- those are worth the extra charge. Enjoy this place (for breakfast). You won't be disappointed.
