Stopped in for a late lunch, and was pleasantly surprised! Very nice folks, country style food was as good or better as I've had anywhere. This hometown cafe is worth a visit!

The food was like Mom used to make. Everything was fresh and hot. They have a nice buffet and a nice set up for tables or booths, just like eating in the kitchen at home.
