This place was great. The manager is very friendly and customer service was top notch! Food was excellent with good portions and enough to go in a box for two meals. Highly recommend for breakfast and Lunch! Restaurant is new and clean!

This place is amazing! I try to stop in a couple times a month. Great service and quality food. We had a huge party come in a few months ago and Kelly was a rockstar! If you happen to sit in her section you won’t be disappointed. What a gem!

I love the atmosphere here. Our waitress on the morning of Monday Feb 19 was stellar! I probably wouldn't order the avocado toast again, but it was good for a nice light breakfast before work. My co-workers highly recommend the Cajun Benedict and cookie dough pancakes!

We stopped in for breakfast. I had the Cajun eggs Benedict and it was so delicious. The sausage tastes fresh with just the right amount of spice. My husband had the traditional breakfast which was also cooked to perfection. Service was friendly and attentive. We will be back

Very good food, service, and atmosphere all around had a great 7 am breakfast on a Saturday. Parking was easy at the nearby ramp with a half block walk. The homemade caramel pecan roll (not pictured) was super good!! Great coffee :) Ribeye (6 oz) Benedict was perfect - large portion.

Great large portions of classic American breakfast. I really like this location because the large glass windows fill the place with natural light. Great spot for a day when you want to go out for a big breakfast.

Came in on a Friday for early lunch w a toddler and was greeted immediately by a friendly young man and served by a delightful lady. The food was excellent, fresh, flavorful, and piping hot. We had the Uptown Burger and Thomas the Train grilled cheese w fries. One of the servers even helped us out the door with the stroller. This is a finely tuned operation. We will be back. Often!! Thank you for a wonderful experience.

As soon as you enter this cafe, you experience the positive vibes from employees as well as the space that is well decorated. Our waitress was attentive and we got our nice and hot breakfast relatively quickly. I had the cajun breakfast and wow, it was a treat! I’d highly recommend it to anyone. My partner had one of the breakfast combos and really enjoyed it as well. Portions are big so well worth the money. I’ll definitely come back to this place!
