Absolutely amazing small town cafe. The owners and employees are amazing. We can’t recommend enough. Make sure to try that “panwich,” and thank you for always being a safe place for our son while he was there in college.

Used to love to go here & went often. Now the food tastes mid, usually burnt, portions are smaller & very overpriced. Also, she charged us $80 for 2 adult meals, 2 kids meals. When I had her show me the price of each individual order because it doesn’t show you on the receipt she gives you, she “realized” she did overcharge me $20. We had already left a $10 tip at the table. I would recommend looking over your receipts! No apology, just an “oh yeah” and unhappily refunded me This actually happened last year and I haven’t been there since. Only posting because I’ve had several people tell me they’ve had similar experiences. Fair warning

Good food. Booths a little tight fit. Historic building. Downhome country cooking hours the spot.
