Large portions, friendly service & affordable! One of my favorite breakfast restaurants......except for the wait, make sure you have about 30 minutes to spare (mainly on the weekends). But once you're sitting, service is quick! Their freshly squeezed orange juice is the BEST!, and the pancakes, and the waffles, and their potatoes, and let's not forget their CHICKEN POT PIE is to die for!!! In other words, love this place 😋

Went on a Sunday, so very crowded with a 2hr wait for my party of 30. They do not take reservations which sucked for us. They do not do call ahead. You have to physically be there. The food was okay, nice portions. But decent. I ordered the grilled cheese with sweet potato fries. Basically rye bread with a slice of American cheese that I swapped for cheeder. It was not the best -decent. Bathrooms were clean and decent. Waiter was awesome, so we left a huge tip. Decent place that appeals to men.

Customer service was totally non-existent at this new location! We walked in and waited to be seated, although there was no sign directing us to do so? We weren't sure if we had to seat ourselves, or wait. There was a young lady at the hostess station who was ignoring us (was that even a hostess station?). When she disappeared, we walked further into the restaurant to see if we had entered through the wrong door...ir whatever? By now, we were in the middle of the restaurant not detecting any type of organization, nor acknowledgment. I was starting to lose my patience at this point, and we were about to leave when a man started to pass by. Hubby got his attention, and the man profusely apologized and offered to seat us. I wanted to leave by now, but hubby was hungry, so we compromised. We left with food to go. Hubby got the meatloaf and mashed, and I had the grilled Wild Alaskan Salmon. The man whom we had flagged down was now exclusively helping us, although we were seated again by the hostess, who still ignored us. It was an odd, disconcerting, and uncomfortable feeling. The man brought over our food and rang us up (Hubby even added on a personal coconut cream pie for his dessert), and the young lady hostess/whatever looked up, but did not acknowledge, the event. Odd again. We got the food home and I never heard hubby cuss out meatloaf before, but he did now. He said it tasted like cardboard, and the mashed potatoes were nor any better. At least he had good. The cook had overcooked my salmon so bad, it could not even be rate cold. Awful food; awful service. I would give this place a negative five stars if I could. My advice: save your money and go elsewhere.

Service was excellent and the food was very tasty. Be careful if you get the Big Bear Burger. It was HUGE and tasted like the best homemade burger I've ever had. Enough to share for two. Restaurant was also very clean. Atmosphere is warm and inviting.

Delicious food. Huge portions. Excellent service and friendly staff. Doesn't compare to anywhere else. A slight wait on weekends but nothing more then 30min. My best and favorite place to eat.
