Very good breakfast. Nice staff. Called for group of 7 and arrived and they had table all ready for us. Very attentive and thankful for us coming in

Absolutely amazing service today! Cael was our server, we asked many questions as it was our first time ever being there. Anything he was unsure of, he didn't hesitate to go find out the answer and let us know! He was very accommodating to our party of 6 plus our daughter in a highchair. We then got to meet the owner! He came to our table to make sure everything was great and asked how he could assist! We got on the subject of the boom boom sauce in which he let us know it had a bit of kick. We then got to taste test the Chili that was AMAZING! He came back to let us know his additional specials he serves throughout the week. He mentioned meatloaf, which is my absolute favorite thing! He proceeds to bring out a peice of meatloaf for us to try and take with us. I wore jeans today and not my stretchy pants! I was busting at the seams walking out of there with plenty to take home just from our regular order!! I can't wait to share this mom and pop restaurant with so many others!! keep up the great work and making everyone that walks through the door feel like family ♡
