This place was phenomenal. I have never had better OJ. Watched it get squeezed myself. Which the machine was cool in itself. The food was all fantastic and I dare you to leave hungry. It's impossible. Amazing place and I cannot wait to go back!!!

Had some delicious chicken fried steak on my first visit here. Salad was good too, tasty blue cheese dressing, nice and chunky ☺️Definitely will be going back soon!!

I had the fried chicken which was good. Breading was a little heavy but it had a good flavor. My wife had the small portion of chicken fried steak and said it was good.

Came with family and asked for a table for six. They informed me it would take about 30 minutes as they were busy, but we only waited for about 10-15 minutes. All the staff were incredibly nice and the service was wonderful. Drinks were refilled without being asked and the food was amazing. I can eat, but even I took my leftovers. The biscuits are amazing and huge. When I come back to Colorado I'm stopping by again.

This place is amazing! I can't believe we haven't been here sooner but we'll definitely go back. My family took me here for Mother's Day just to try something new and we weren't disappointed. They were a little busy and my salad came out with my food but that's the only complaint we have. The turkey was fantastic and my daughter had the bacon cheeseburger and I tried it and it was also very good. We were all pleased with the service and the food. Looking forward to going back and trying the breakfast that looked great.

David is one of the best servers I’ve ever had! He deserves a raise ??. Friendly made us feel at home and was overall a perfect servers with charm. Plan on coming back great place great food and amazing staff.

Loved this place, they need one of these in the Smoky Mountains!

An absolutely wonderful experience!The server was super sweet and attentive. She told us stories, made recommendation and even threw a free biscuit because I couldn’t decide between a pancake or the biscuit.Everything tasted delicious. The colorado omelette was filled and topped with ham, cheese, peppers and onions. It was huge! The veggies were sautéed golden and the ham was tender.The pancake was large, fluffy and creamy. It was simple, but done perfectly. The pancake was very large as well.The biscuit was gigantic! Probably the biggest biscuit I have ever had, and it was phenomenal!Overall, I loved this place. Staff was great, portions were very large, and everything tasted amazing. Highly recommend

This is one of the best looking omelettes I have ever seen. Kudos to the chef. The waiter was not very personable. Some people are just not people persons
