Great breakfast. Really enjoyed it. Very good biscuits & gravy & hashbrowns! Hubby enjoyed his pancakes, eggs, bacon & sausage.
Had the chicken fried steak for breakfast and the food was awesome. There was more than enough food. I definitely return. Service excellent. Easy ample parking.
Great place to eat! Excellent variety of breakfasts and lunches. If you're doing breakfast, you really should try the Tim's Hashbrowns. They are very delicious! Wonderful food and fantastic service! And also great prices! I highly recommend this cafe if you're in the area.

Best breakfast in Clay County! This is by far our favorite breakfast place. The food is excellent, the service was phenomenal. The wait staff are starting to know us by name because we eat here so often. Definitely worth stopping by and grabbing a booth and enjoy some friendly Midwest folks who cook an awesome breakfast.
The town’s Gem!!! The staff, food, and environment are all exceptional. I travel a lot and this diner is by far my favorite restaurant in town. Very grateful for this place!
Staff was very friendly. Service was good. I had the taco salad, husband had fish. Both good. This was our first visit here, we will definitely stop back again.
The pancakes were a delightful experience. The fluffiness and the flavor was spot-on. Overall, a satisfying breakfast choice.
