I must have driven by this place hundreds of times before someone pointed it out as a good place to eat. Now it's a YES for breakfast on my short list. It's medium priced breakfasts are tasty and the coffee is good. The decor is homey and comfy. The waitstaff are usually very friendly and keep those coffee cups full.
