Great local restaurant. Good prices, huge portions and delicious. The staff was all very friendly. We came on a Saturday at 10:30am and it was very busy. Seems to be very popular destination.

Food is decent, but not great. Did a few carryout meals, and was surprised a couple times with price not realizing the fries are not part of the meal, they are a pretty big upcharge. Very much a greasy spoon kind of place if you like that (not an insult!)

JoJo is a great server. Takes a whole section of more than 9-10 tables while still doing everything else as well. Very hardworking & very sweet.

Sloppy Pancake
Great food and staff. The pancakes and bacon are the best. Staff is super nice and friendly. They are always asking how you are doing. Their is a great view of the river. Their mini pancakes are also really good. The only complaint I have, which is holding back the five stars is that the furniture is torn up. But over all it has great food and staff along with a great atmosphere.

Been here numerous times. Always great service, and good food. Went today and they went above and beyond for my daughter. They got her a high chair, cut up her food for her, and even gave her a toy. Huge shout out to Gina, she was excellent!

We had a fantastic breakfast here. The dam omelet(mushrooms, tomatoes, cheddar and swiss cheeses and three eggs and the blueberry log jam (breakfast sausage links wrapped in blueberry pancakes) made an ample breakfast for two. Coffee a bit weaker than I like but better than most was constantly refilled by our attentive and gracious waitresses. Having a view of the geese on the river was a great bonus. Yes it is a bit rustic but that just makes it homey.

The best food ever. Absolutely the sweetest staff. I don’t go too often but they know I love my blue tubs ( French vanilla) of creamer with my coffee. Thx tiffany…

Restaurant was a dive. I don’t know why my husband enjoys eating here. The place was dirty. Plus, they set us near the restroom. You could see directly into the rear area of the kitchen, which didn’t look any cleaner than the rest of the place. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.
