We had a very polite red head server. Great service and people skills. But star of the show was a gentleman with a sick modern mullet and beard who made me honey mustard on the spot. Great place.

Haven’t been back since the new owners or manager, glad I decided to stop in. I was checked on often, servers and staff are very friendly and accommodating. With tattoos and my race I wasn’t treated differently. Food was good diner breakfast but they also serve mimosas and cocktails so a fun vibe too. Good music, quick good breakfast. Grits weren’t my favorite but stuffed French toast wasn’t soggy and had flavor.

This is a down-home-feel kind of diner. I read reviews before making the choice for our party of 5 to eat here. Reviews kept saying the staff was so friendly and accommodating. Everyone was ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!! The staff bent over backwards to get each of us exactly the breakfast we'd been hoping for, including some special order dishes and extra touches to our orders.And the food was AMAZING!!! So delicious!We ate well and had a great time visiting together with the two we'd just picked up at the Orlando Sanford Intl Airport. We all agreed we'll be telling others about this gem of a restaurant, and we'll DEFINITELY be back anytime we're in the area!Do yourself a favor. Don't miss visiting this gem!!!! You'll know what I mean after you eat here!! ?Parking: Sufficient parking area.Kid-friendliness: There were families dining in while we were at the restaurant. Everyone is treated like family.Wheelchair accessibility: No curbs which is a plus for those with hip or knee issues.
