I love their MTO omelets. Mine was fantastic! I love the grits, omelet and toast. I love their tea too! I enjoy the folks who work there as well.. Thank you, Penny and staff!

It completely warms my heart and soul to know that small diners like this still exist. Thank you for your warm family personality and delicious southern breakfast. It reminded me of home in Elaville, GA. Can't wait to visit again. 20 out of 10, recommend.

We were headed to Pensacola and decided to grab breakfast in Crestview. We did a search, and decided idea to try this place out.It was a great decision!I got the biscuit and gravy platter, which comes with how many ever biscuits you want with your choice of 1 of 5 or so different kinds of gravy. (I remember sausage, brown, tomato, and white, but there was at least 1 more to choose from.) It also had 2 eggs cooked to your liking, a choice of meat (patty sausage, bacon, link sausage, or ham), and your choice of hash browns or, for a slight up-charge, home fries.It was delightful! The eggs were actually seasoned (that's a rarity tiday!) and as requested covered with American cheese, the bacon was the perfect consistency, and the hash browns were just the right amount of crispy. If I had one complaint, it's that there just wasn't enough sausage gravy on my biscuit. That's a minor quibble and didn't detract from how good the food was.Our server was incredible and extremely helpful and patient. Unfortunately, I forgot to ask her name, but she'd only been there for about 6 months, she said.Highly recommended to try the breakfast here, y'all!

Stopped on way after long day. The special for dinner this evening was Fried Chicken with 2 sides. The Fried Chicken was Crispy outside, juicy inside, appropriate temperature, and even though fried, it was not greasy (which is great!).The Cole Slaw was creamy, the Potatoes with gravy fluffy. The Ice Tea was just the nice side of sweet.

This is the best home town country style restaurant in the panhandle! Our food is always great, our service is always above and beyond. Breakfast eggs are cooked to order and cooked perfectly every time, Dinner is always hot and fresh with the perfect seasoning.

Smashed avocado on toasted sourdough bread, kids fried chicken tenders with fries, a side od fried okra, corned beef hash with two eggs over easy and biscuit and hash browns. Mmm. So glad we have this local place. We'll be glad to be returning to sample a few more menu items. Yum.

The food is absolutely AMAZING. If you haven't been here, you NEED to hurry up and get there. The service was on the same level as the food. The restaurant is bright and CLEAN as well as warm and inviting. You just need to trust me and go. 10/10 I recommend!!!
