One of my more disappointing experiences at a restaurant. I've brought friends and family in the past and have had great service and food but my latest experience was upsetting. We went at lunch time on a Sunday and they were very busy, I'm assuming understaffed. The two hostesses at the front did not look or act like they enjoyed their jobs and we were not greeted until we approached them. There were two groups ahead of us, a twosome and a group of 5, and tables were starting to clear. One hostess took back the group of 2 and sat them at a large table that should have been used for a larger group, thenbrought back the group of 5 and sat them, when she came back she tried to get my party, including one who was obviously dependent on her walker, to sit at a high top table. As this is not a safe scenario, we declined and ended up waiting another 40 min on to of the 20 we already waited just to be seated. A little education to the hostess about managing customer placement would have gone a long way in preventing this situation. The wait staff was very friendly, but again understaffed and missed many details of our orders. I could continue, but to save time, we were just disappointed at the entire experience. I give three stars because I know they are capable of better service, just maybe not for a Sunday brunch.

We ordered a create your own omelet and and a Country Boy breakfast bowl! Delicious!! The serving sizes we pretty big and filling. This place is pretty popular and gets busy. We arrived around 10am and waited about 20 minutes for a table for 2 but it was well worth the wait. The servers and staff were super nice and friendly. The food came from the kitchen hot and in a timely manner. ?? We will for sure be dining here quite often!

I JUST STARTED A KETO DIET SO I ORDERED THE 6 PIECES OF BACON , TOMATOES, AVOCADO, WALNUTS SO GOOD

I usually would give them 5 stars. However I took my kids after basketball last Saturday. We waited for 20 min to be seated which was fine. We were seated outside and the waitress walked past us at least 7 times not even acknowledging we were there. I had to go talk to the hostess to even get service. People that came in after us got their food first. Service was bad this time but food is always delicious.

Great atmosphere great service from Harley!

I’ve been here before and it was fine. Went today,early, and very disappointed. Eggs and the biscuit were fine. The hash browns and bacon were barely warm when arrived. I hardly got a few bites before they were cold. The server was very attentive but the cook should be replaced.

Some pretty small... scratch that, the portions were tiny, but what we did have was delicious.After breakfast both my brother and I were still very hungry, but my parents were both satisfied.The service was decent, but we sat for four minutes before we were greeted and got waters delivered to us, and not once did anyone at the table get a refill.Overall I'd say it's worth a visit for the quality of food, but between the esthetics (or lack there of), the size of the joint, the size of the portions, and the size of the bill, I'd say it's pretty evident this place is geared towards retirees and snowbirds.Definitely not reccomended if you're looking for a fun and lively place to have Mimosas.

Food was good. Very nice servers. Food was delicious and prompt served.

Sponsor of “Cars and Coffee.” Excellent food and coffee and fast friendly service.

Nice menu selection. The Buffalo Cauliflower and Fried Pickles were good. The Bloody Marie's were very good. The real star of the show was the eggs. They were very flavorful and delicate. Everything was very clean and the service was spot on, quick and friendly. I definitely recommend.
