Big pancakes, delicious food. Prices are pretty decent, about the same as other breakfast places like Neighborhood Cafe and Chicken and the Egg.

Cant believe this place has been here 2 years and I had no idea. It's nice to have biscuits and gravy that isn't the white instant, bland gravy most places have. The potatoes were a nice change from other places as well. The eggs were well made, as well as scrambled could be. My ham side was huge and will make a nice sandwich later. Just wanted to help put this little tucked away spot on the map.

We loved this place! The calm and pleasant atmosphere. We had French toast and pancakes for breakfast and it was all delicious and homemade. The waitress was very kind to us too!

Took my in-laws and my toddler here to try out the breakfast and BOY it did not disappoint! My in-laws are picky, and they commented the entire meal about how homemade everything tasted, from the biscuits to the gravy to the French toast and WOW the sausage! I ate my entire meal and even polished off the rest of my father-in-laws! The waitress was warm, welcoming, and prompt with every part of her service. The head chef/owner came out during our meal to make sure we were enjoying everything, and that spoke volumes for this amazing business! Would recommend to anyone and we will be back!Kid-friendliness: Wonderful changing station in the bathroom, cushioned and with supplies makes you feel like they truly care about family’s needs!

Went there for the first time today and i recommend this place. Food was great and service was even greater. Alexa was awesome. Atmosphere to me was relaxing. It was slow, but the interaction with the owner and Alexa felt like how family interacts while eating breakfast or any meal. Making this a weekly routine and that’s only because I live in Crestview. So if you all are looking for an awesome and locally owned place, I highly recommend this place.
