The above-average breakfast/brunch stop of the midwest, done very well. Things that elevated this from average; fresh baked items from their bakery, smaller menu with well-executed options-this was the obvious reason for better quality food items/sides, large coffee cups and brand name creamers, and real/large kids color pages AND color menus.

This place was almost too good to be true. I've been looking for a classic breakfast experience in the area forever. The service and ingredients were absolutely phenomenal and the food was prepared perfectly. The menu is a bit limited but use your imagination and order from the heart. They have the stuff.

Fantastic delicious restaurant with so many choices! A great venue to meet with people, small and large groups. The half sandwich and soup is a wonderful quick lunch. Their chicken and waffles are delicious! Definitely a repeatable return again experience!
