Everything is fresh and delicious. We were impressed with the amount of flavour put into the food. The chicken fried steak is homemade, and I’d highly recommend it. The San Diego skillet was packed with flavours. The skillets can also be made into burritos. Try upgrading your hash browns to “sassy” or “spicy”, where they add peppers and cheese. Even the strawberry jam to accompany our toast was homemade.

Took my daughter here for breakfast on her birthday. We all really enjoyed our meals. The service was very good, the restaurant was clean and inviting, and our food was delicious. I loved the blueberry pancakes! They were filled with blueberries and very light and fresh-tasting. Would definitely go here again!
