Love coming to Ken & Mary's for their country breakfast. Good food, great service, and reasonably priced! Mary welcomes you to a table and Ken pours your first cup of never ending coffee! Great place to meet friends & family - seems like everyone knows each other, so the atmosphere is warm & friendly.

I hear that on the weekends you should be prepared to wait for a table though. Their's was the best omelet I have eaten in quite awhile. It... More
