The is yet another breakfast place in this same establishment of many over the years, and IMO the best. FOOD QUALITY... The food was absolutely amazing! My son had the berry waffles and could not believe how great they were. They used a strawberry sauce that really added to the flavor. Steak skillet was fantastic, with the steak being decent quality. I got the meat lovers skillet and it fortunately included vegetables as well. All ingredients tasted high quality and fresh. You also had the option of regular hash browns in the skillet or cubed red potatoes. The bacon was cooked well, thick cut and fresh. I had the pancakes as well. The pancakes were huge! ...a solid dinner plate size and light, fluffy, and flavorful. Berries were huge and fresh. They also have a tasty light fluffy butter to use on the pancakes and waffles that was amazing. The orange juice tasted fresh squeezed, which is something I always remembered about this restaurant regardless of owners. SERVICE... I usually don't have an above average experience on service but this place was over the top. We were immediately greeted and they were very friendly and polite. They constantly made sure we were not in need of anything, constantly kept coffee cups full, and it truly felt like they cared about our experience in their restaurant. I cannot say enough good things about this. Probably the best service I've seen in a restaurant in many years! ENVIRONMENT... it was basically one large room, but nicely put together with nice framed murals of Galena and such. The tables were modern and classy. Bathrooms were 2 single locking rooms which i always appreciate. The exterior is simple, nothing really impressive to speak about there. THE BAD... although minor, there are some negative things I should mention. As other reviews had mentioned, it's a little loud, with it being basically one large room. Price was a little expensive for breakfast at around $10-$20. Skillets were $16-$20, a plate of two pancakes with a side was $15. This is basically in line with the area though, and the food quality and experience makes it reasonable IMO. They had some garbage cans outside the front door likely waiting for pickup. This produced an unpleasant smell as you approach the entry door. They should move those or hide them behind a fence or something. Parking can be a challenge during peak times like summer, but not a huge deal breaker for me. OVERALL... fantastic experience for my family and we'll definitely be back. I highly recommend!!!!!
