Love That Lemonade

Healthy good food attentive service

Part of the Best Western complex where you go for food/breakfast. I had the eggs and bacon and toast and fruit. I asked for all berries and that is what they brought. Friend had oatmeal and the portion was huge. She loved it. Fast service.

First Time Experience not Good

I had lunch one afternoon here.The salad I ordered had too many red onions and no nuts as stated on the menu. The yellow beets were mushy and diced into microscopic bits. I had heard nothing but good things about the restaurant and their menu....More

Excellent Food!

Truly a gem of a restaurant in unpretentious setting. Went there for breakfast. Friendly and quick service. They cure their own bacon which is super delicious! Waffles were so tasty. We will definitely go back any chance we can!

Good, fast service

Seemed like we were the first ones there but the service was quick and delicious. I had an omelet. Bacon was a little over cooked but i found it tasted better like that. Also there’s parking.
