We enjoyed lunch outside on a nice patio area. Our waitress was so nice and gave us great service. I had the hot beef plate that was delicious.

Cute little cafe off the beaten path. Friendly staff and ownership. The building has some neat history. Very small lunch menu but delicious. The black berry pie and ice cream was off the charts. Highly recommend you go out of your way to stop in and have the burger and burrito.

Biscuits and gravy were delicious and they were extremely accommodating. Drove 4 hours to pick up a puppy and after we ordered our food, we got a call that the puppy was ready to be picked up. The staff kept our food hot and fresh and when we returned, they offered us the patio so we could eat outside with our new puppy. Thanks for the hospitality!!
