The eggs Benedict tasted really good. So did the French toast. When we first walked in, it was loud and very vintage. Has an A on the window but seemed a little old dirt felt. Very hometown carefree environment and man the good tasted great. Parking in front, and way more in back. Had bathrooms and a private table set up in back. Service was great and food came out quick. Dont be thrown off by the vintage dinge. Its a perfect place for breakfast
