We sat outside on the patio dining area for a gorgeous morning. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Food came quickly and was hot and well presented. Hash was delicious as was the standard breakfast.

We were able to sit at the counter by the window and watch all the passersby. The pimento spread was amazing and the service was incredible.

Eat here. Eat it all. The chicken fried chicken is the standard. The onion burger is fantastic. So is taco norteno. Don’t skip the buttermilk pie! Drinks are great too. The service is chill and friendly and helpful.
