We stopped on a very long road trip. The owner was spunky and fun to talk to. She treated us like we were family members. The food was delicious and we're good portions. A great break from fast food. Kids 17 through 6 liked it. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Great local mom & pop restaurant! Menu hosts sandwiches, wraps, panini's, salads,soups, burgers and more! They also serve adult beverages. This is great food, not fast food. While service can be slow, it wasn't horrible. Seems to be just one couple (I'm guessing the owners?) running it and doing all front of house jobs. That said, everyone was very friendly and helpful. Food was GREAT! I had the Southwest wrap which was perfect. Well seasoned, and all the ingredients and textures worked so well together. My husband had the BLT which he said was REALLY good. We both had potato salad as a side, while other reviewers have raved about it...we weren't fans - but I think potato salad is one of those things that if you have a style you like you're not always fans of change. I observed something really cute while we were waiting for our food. I can only assume she is one of the owners but the woman working in front of house went and got some puzzles and other things to keep young children occupied while their family was waiting for their take out order. I thought that was a really nice touch. Additionally when the same server/host found out my husband was a veteran she not only thanked him for his service but also when we got our bill she delivered this little bag of three homemade cookies. I thought that was an amazing touch and a sweet/special way to recognize the service of our nation's veterans. Overall I would recommend this stop to anyone who wants a great breakfast or lunch. But don't come in expecting everything to happen super fast. Take a breath, enjoy the ambiance, the company you're with, and some great food! Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20
It was my first time, so it may be I caught them on an off day. There weren't a lot of people, but the service was slow, and it was super cold in there. It took so long that we ended up asking for our food to go and the server seemed annoyed at my request. I've heard good things about this restaurant so I'll give it another try.

The woman that served us was so kind and wonderful with our boys. She brought books for them while they waited and encouraged good eating habits. We were all charmed by the service Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Passing through town at lunchtime looking for something healthier we decided to try this little place. Everything was great! All the adults ordered the turkey BLT croissant and potato salad. It was delicious! Kids had burgers with bacon added. They were kid friendly dishes, burgers cut into 4, served with fries, watermelon slice and carrots. Service was quick and friendly. Would definitely stop here again! Forgot to take pictures of the food before we ate 😃

The lady was RUDE. We almost left but had just ordered our food. There's an old lady who is incredibly rude. She berated my children throughout the meal. She made comments about my family and spoke to other tables about us. She wouldn't give my children drinks until they got their food. She TOUCHED my sons food. She greeted us at the door by rudely telling us "pick" and pointed to the tables. Then at the end she gave my children TOYS without asking my permission. It was weird and uncomfortable the entire time. I strongly suggest removing this woman because the food was delicious! I would go back if I could guarantee she isn't there. She actually made me cry. It was stressful and I felt bad that she was talking about me. I've never wanted to leave a place more. I didn't want to cause a scene and my kids were super hungry.

Kind people, tasty food, and fast service! We were passing through and figured we had time for a quick sit-down lunch. I enjoyed my Cobb salad and my husband loved his tasty sandwich with potato salad. The owner was so sweet he gave us some bottled water without us asking, when he heard we were on a road trip. :) Highly recommend!
I enjoyed my lunch very much here. Rick was nice and hospitable. The food was excellent. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
