Our first time and we were not disappointed. There was a mix up and no server was assigned to our table. After 20 minutes we asked for someone to please take our order. The waitress apologized, and took great care of us. The 4 of us had a wide range of munue items. The junkyard breakfast my husband enjoyed. My daughters waffles were great with fruit. My done had the burger and the fries were delicious. My cinnamon roll waffles were amazing. Portions were big. The mocha was great!The atmosphere was a mix between good Christian atmosphere and Legos! Would recommend

A classic feel while serving home style food. Breakfast and Lunch menu served all day. Photos include two all beef hot dogs, sunrise special, chicken and waffles, cheeseburger, and interior spaces. Appetizer beignettes in chocolate, cinnamon, and cookie butter were to die for!!! Our whole party agreed that every plate was delicious!! Will definitely eat here again when in the area.

Absolutely delicious experience from start to finish! The food was not only yummy but also so thoughtfully presented — the heart-shaped biscuits and pancakes were such a sweet touch and made the meal feel extra special. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The service truly stood out as well. Brittany was fantastic — attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. Her positive energy and care really elevated the whole experience. Great food, perfect service, and a place we’ll definitely be excited to return to. Highly recommend! 💛🥞🍪

First time at this place and I was pleasantly impressed. Big spacious room, we had 4 crazy kiddos with us and it didn’t feel crammed. Our server, Ethan, was great and very patient with us. It being his first day, he took good care of us. Our food was delicious and came out just right. We will be back!!!
