Great local spot, highly recommend! Super friendly folks and good food, simple, the way it should be. Definitely a go to for breakfast. 11/02/2023 They handled our work related breakfast of 21 guests with flying colors. Tyler waited on us and was fantastic. And kudos to the kitchen! All of our food came out super quick. For a group of 21 to finish in under an hour?....(Still)Amazing!

This is the second time I have eaten here. The waitress greeted us with a smile and anticipated our needs. Had build omelet with side of bacon. It was excellent. They put a lot of work into their food and service.. This is a great place to eat and enjoy the atmosphere. I highly recommend it!!

They were super busy when we arrived at the restaurant, and there was a line, so it took a little while to be seated. We were so hungry since we had just finished the Prairie Pedal Ride at Rock Springs. We had a very friendly waitress that kept our mugs full while we waited for our food.

The food sells this place. Also the speed of the kitchen. Even when it's been busy, food came quickly. Wait staff is just okay. Can tell they don't get paid enuf. Have had one waitress that was subpar and one that was a 7/10. Like I said, pay them more. They are worth it. Had the French Toast (10/10), Veggie Omelet (10/10), hash browns-shredded & cubed (8/10), eggs, toast n ham all cooked perfect and served hot (9/10). Another visit had a basic ham, egg n cheese on white bread (8/10-coulda been seasoned a lil bit). 2 Big Pancakes (12/10-they were HUGE) and hash browns (again 8/10) and bacon (9/10-cooked nicely). Inside restaurant definitely needs a facelift but who really cares if ur coming to eat and not for visuals/entertainment?!All in all, a once a week spot for me!!! Great special during early mornings. I believe 7 deal. My visits were between 30 - 35. Well worth it for 2 people to eat WITH a drink. Serving sizes were normal for breakfast spots. EXCEPT pancakes. They were huge.
