I can't believe I haven't written a review for this place yet. I've probably been here more times than I can remember.
The layout of the restaurant is a bit weird. I like sitting in the section off to the side rather than where the door is. The front section is a bit cavernous and feels "warehousey" I am aware this is not a word, but it seems like the best description. Despite that, I am willing to tolerate it cause the food is good.
I think my favorite dish here is the Chicken Fried Steak. Smothered in country gravy and served with your choice of eggs, potatoes and toast. The steak is nicely breaded, superbly crispy and mouthwateringly yummy. I like to step it up a notch and sub the toast for biscuits with even more gravy. And of course I like scrambled eggs (when I like eggs) and the seasoned potatoes. My second "usual" is the Monte Cristo.
You know the saying, "stick to what you're used to." I should have heeded that one morning. I tried their raspberry french toast. Eww. Not happy. Not sweet. So unappetizing to me that I barely made it through one slice. Their presentation is a bit lacking but really what can I say. As far as local breakfast places go, I'm usually not in it for the presentation. Heck, most of the time I'm not even awake enough to appreciate it.
The portions are pretty generous and the service is quick and friendly. My bf likes it, I like it. The hot chocolate is good. All in all, a win win place for me.
