Really good menu if you love breakfast, especially. Many kinds of omelets. Mine was prepared with thin layers, like a crepe, but still filling. We also enjoyed strawberry & banana Crepes Suzette... What a treat! The photos on the walls would be a delight for any lover of local history or just railroad bridges and paddle wheelers. Quaint river town.

Our visit was actually a couple months ago (Fathers Day, I believe). The establishment was clean, service was friendly and the food was sufficient. I ordered a Rueben and waffle fries. My partner ordered bacon cheeseburger and tots. Everything came quickly. The food was ok, not great. It was a little inconvenient to get cash rather than pay by card. We normally notice that (sign on door, etc), but we didn’t see anything. We double checked when we left, and didn’t see a notice. They do have an atm inside and the fees weren’t bad. It was just an aggravation more than anything. Would we try again? Yea, if circumstances were right, but we probably wouldn’t go out of our way to.

So, it's my hometown, and I may be biased, but seriously an awesome breakfast. If you dig biscuits & gravy just get them!

A great restaurant to visit, with a wealth of local history of pitcures throughout the restaurant. The waitress was extremely friendly,talkative and attentive to making sure everything was good and my drink stayed full. just an awesome small town place to eat and look at the historical pitcures in there. If im ever in the area again I will definitely be back. In my opinion you won't be disappointed.
