33 Years in the same place, same staff, they must be doing something right, Great prices on excellent food. I've read the reviews from people that have given it 1 star. These must be people that can only accept 5 star service, and everything else is 1 star. I understand some of the things you complained about, and maybe you did have a valid point, but 1 star, and to imply that the waitress was suffering from dementia, come on, grow up. If you made reasonable criticisms, and rated fairly, people would take you seriously, but you just make yourselves look mean and vindictive. All over an undercooked omelette, etc.

Old school diner - that's the best way I can think of to describe this place. I had to reference google maps 2-3 times to make sure I was in the right place. It's in a strip mall, but it's in a hidden away corner with a dead-end, you literally wouldnt walk past this place at all. Cash only, straight forward breakfast menu with plenty of egg options and some daily specials. The ladies that staff this place are very friendly and attentive. Prices are very reasonable and portions are big. If you are looking for a reliable breakfast at good price, this is the place to go!

Can't beat it! Great prices, nicely cooked. Corned beef hash was crispy and soft! Scrambled eggs soft and fluffy. Great coffee!

The waitress has dementia, the cook is rude, the food is just OK, and the place is kind of dirty and smoky because the kitchen opens up to the dining area! They overcharged me for something that was supposed to be included on their specials that day and then the cook/owner started an argument with me because I wouldn't pay the difference. I told her to take it up with the 80+ year old waitress who is crazy and then I left and told them I wouldn't be back!

Amazing ladies that run the place for nearly 32 years at this point. Food price was very cheap for what they cook for you and tastes amazing as well.

Shhh...they're the best kept secret in town! As for the negative reviews, when I click to see the posters other reviews, they're all negative. Really? 90% of places these posters reviewed rate 2 or less stars? That's when you just have to take the negative reviews out of the rating. The Courtyard ends up with 5 stars overall!

Very good every time.

This is a hidden gem of the area. Prices are great and portions are huge. Although the interior is a bit older it speaks volumes for the quality of service and food.
Hidden gem, price, food and service are excellent. Very clean. I’ll be back!

Hidden gem, clean, cheap and good food. Open for breakfast and lunch. Cash only, but you won't need much.

The breakfast selection is good and the food is fresh. We’ve been a few times and have not been disappointed. Unfortunately this type of restaurant is on the decline. For good meals at a great price, try this one.
