“ This is a great foodie find! The portions are generous and the people are like family! You can’t go wrong in this place!! My son and I had the Honey Butter Fried Chicken and pancakes which are so crunchy on the outside and tender juicy on the inside. The pancakes are fluffy and so filled with flavor. Who doesn’t love half a stick of honey butter melting on top of pancakes...mmm, sooo glorious! I didn’t need syrup for this. We also ordered up the Chilaquiles. The sour cream on this tastes homemade and it soothes the spiciness of the dish. Also a winner in this Elite’s opinion. We sampled a piece of the coffee cake and it complements smoothly with the Gavina coffee. All in all a terrific experience and a definite “must try” for those in the area. Check out my pics!! TIP: Don’t be fooled by the surrounding area this food is upscale with a homey ambience. ”
“ This was our first time coming here for breakfast. We will be coming here frequently! The food was amazing, the staf is knowledgeable and attentive and we met Monica the owner. Monica is very nice and gracious. It is obvious that she takes pride in her restaurant, it comes through in the warm, cozy atmosphere and the delicious food. Here is what we ordered- Bacon, ham, turkey and Swiss cheese omelet and breakfast potatoes. The turkey and ham were real, not cold cuts. The bacon was cooked to perfection. Honey butter fried chicken and pancakes. The 2 pieces of chicken were boneless chicken breasts that were well seasoned and delicious. The 2 pancakes were large and really had a good taste. Chicken fried steak and biscuits, so good! The gravy was yummy, the biscuits were lights and fluffy and the steak was well seasoned and delicious. Also on the plate were 2 eggs any style and breakfast potatoes. The Brunch Burger with crosscut fries. This burger consisted of a beef patty, fried egg, tomato, onion, sauce and cheddar cheese. It was so good that she inhaled it in record time!!! Here are pictures of our food! This review is from our viait.tosay at the location on De Soto, across from Rocketdyne. ”
