Steaks and pizzas are pretty good. Weekend specials are good too. Friday all you can eat fish fry. If you stop here, let me know, I live just a couple of houses down.

Start with a cinnamon roll, then dive into the unlimited fried or scrambled eggs, authentic pork sausage patties, bacon, toast, hashbrowns, and orange juice. Their meals are served with generous portions and made from scratch. Top notch traditional home cooked food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
