Very impressed! Everything here was really great! I don't really like things like 'Chicken Sausage' but the red pepper chicken sausage was great! The hot links were great, the cinnamon roll french toast was amazing, the hash browns could have been a touch crispier for my taste but they were still very very good! And, the price was reasonable for the quality of food. All in all a good experience! I didn't know what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised. We will definitely be back!

Nice atmosphere and Had a wonderful waitress

The food was great. Service was excellent. The decor is adorable!

Food was really good, with large portion sizes. Our server was very friendly and welcoming. Went during a busy dinner time during a weekend, but did not have to wait too long. I was surprised by the variety of dishes. We had something for everyone, even our picky eaters. They did have a kids menu, were serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

great food , good prices and portions and excellent service. Thank you ,Peggy!

Great food, fast service, and good prices. Definitely will go again.

I ate take out from here for the first time today. I got the Bear's Choice breakfast with biscuits and gravy and sausage links. The links were the size of a hot dog each. The biscuits were the biggest I have EVER seen! They were the size of a big cinnamon roll and there were 2.The food was delicious and the staff was masked! I will be back!! I was very impressed!

I had never heard of this place until seeing them on doordash one day and deciding to give them a try. Since that first order, I've been a fan.This being the first time in the restaurant, I was pleasantly surprised. I like the theme they have and creative things such as the menu being a newspaper - see photo.The food is good, though I do stick to ordering breakfast because I know it's good.Our server was Breanna and she was great. She probably thinks we were upset with her because we got our food and sat there with no silverware for a few minutes. If you're reading this Breanna, it was handled perfectly. :)We just didn't want to interrupt her because she was cleaning a booth, which leads into how clean the place is. I can't speak for the backend or the whole place all the time but I did watch Breanna clean multiple tables and booths. She was actually cleaning too.. not just going through the motions.I'd recommend this place to family and friends. In fact, I have. If you haven't tried food here before and you're unsure if you want to, I think you'll also be pleasantly surprised.

We will definitely go back. This was our first visit and it was a nice one. Our service was very good and the food was great and not overly expensive. Huge menu choices as well. Pictured are tuna melt with a side of chili, veggie burrito with a side of a huge pancake. The pancake was one of the best we've had in a while.

I ordered the “grizzly breakfast” and holy cow! As you can see it was not finished. Definitely bought it home to eat for dinner! My husband enjoyed a burger. His first bite was followed by “ omg!” And he’s not usually one to be impressed by food. The service was just as good as the food. Will definitely return.
