This small town restaurant did not disappoint. Great breakfast spot with coffee drinks, big portions, and reasonable prices. The smothered breakfast burrito was fantastic and the gravy was delicious. Awesome bagel sandwich cooked in the panini press, and don’t forget the hash brown casserole!

The food here was amazing!! We are bagel sandwich fiends and this place is a cut above the rest. Delicious blueberry cobbler cream cheese filled muffins were heavenly, and the biscuits and gravy dish with eggs was so rich and flavorful-a must have! We found a new love in the coffee my mom drank, made by Veteran Roasters. We ended up buying a few pounds online and may just have a new staple. Very cool atmosphere with memories and history everywhere you look. The folks working here were warm, friendly, and just genuinely good people. Overall fantastic experience, do yourself a favor and stop by!

Best breakfast around. Cozy small town spot. Cranks Mess is the BEST! And the coffee is fantastic too! Worth the drive for our Friday breakfasts during the summer 🙂

Everything has been so good!! I’ve just started going for Saturday breakfast with friends and it is truly a great time! Plenty of choices to make a specialty coffee, breakfast is delicious! The owners are amazing and military veterans so the place has been decorated in military. There are walls with past and present military members. Definitely gets me in the heart when I see some of the pictures of service members we have lost. Beautiful place! Can’t wait till next Saturday!

This was an incredibly pleasant dining experience. The food was outstanding. I cannot wait to get more of that sausage gravy. I could just eat that for breakfast, honestly, it’s so good.
The hash brown casserole was straight outta a certain “Barrel”, except a lot more likely to have been made fresh. Got one to split and if the smothered breakfast burrito had not been so filling I might have had to wrestle someone to get another helping.
Definitely get breakfast here. Looking forward to trying lunch.

The food and service were excellent. Staff was SUPER friendly and welcoming!
I had the Panini of the day, this consisted of bacon, egg, Swiss cheese on sourdough.
We also got the breakfast bagel sandwich with bacon, egg and cheddar.
Overall, a must try if hankering for a good cup of coffee and breakfast. I will be back again next time I’m in the area!

This is a hidden gem that everyone needs to visit! Amazing breakfast! Large portion size! The coffee is on point! Awesome service! Veteran owned and they also support veteran businesses by purchasing supplies from them! Check it out! It’s worth the drive to Villa Grove!
