Wonderful heart of America small town family restaurant where everyone is a friend. Hash browns made fresh not frozen and homemade pies equally wonderful as well.

Just passing through on a multi-day road trip, but a lucky fund of a homey cafe with great breakfasts available early in the day.. Brandy was a delight, greeting obvious regulars and strangers both with attentive service, great coffee and the best bacon-egg-cheese sando ever!
