Hear from our valued guests
One visit was enough to make us fall in love with this place. The atmosphere was absolutely wonderful! The owner greeted us when we walked in and kept just enough conversation during our stay to make us feel welcome but not so much as to …
My daughter and I was passing through and looking for something good and different. This was the place. Friendly, great food, clean bathrooms and good price. Highly recommend! We had the Bistro Chicken and Waffles, Bourbon Bacon Plate, Strawberry Rhubarb Pie and Hot Chocolate Cheesecake, needless to say we waddled out of there!
