What People Are Saying

from Google & Yelp

"A really nice little diner in a strip mall. Exactly the type of place you want to go and have breakfast at. It was very busy on a Monday morning so you know all the locals come to this place. I had a half order of biscuits and gravy and a blueberry pancake. Both were great"

★★★★

"Stopped in for breakfast and got the Everything Hashbrowns. Food was good, the place is always busy and packed, parking is not the best but doable and like everything else nowadays food is pricey. But a good solid place for breakfast in Des Moines."

★★★★

"Came here on a Saturday morning and as expected, it was a little crowded. I would estimate about a 15-20 min wait, but the food was absolutely worth it. Staff was very kind."

★★★★★

"This is my in law’s cafe of choice. They always have to make the stop when they are in town. We got: • chicken melt w/ fries (5/5) • cinnamon french toast half order (5/5) • patty melt w/ fries; “best patty melt I have ever had. I would recommend it to anyone.” 5/5) The staff is so lovely and welcoming. It’s very cozy. All 5 of us got shirts because we are frequent flyers lol. 100000% will always come back. 🤍"

"This place is always phenomenal. They're usually packed so we go during odd hours. We went around 12:30pm today and grabbed some seats at the bar. Once you sit down service is pretty fast. My go-to is Steak and Eggs! Everything is always cooked exactly the way I ask. The hash browns are always super crispy! Today I got a biscuit instead of toast and ordered an extra side of the gravy. YUM!!! There was so much food but I enjoyed every bite! I've only had breakfast food here. I'm sure their lunch dishes are just as good. Highly recommend!"

★★★★★

"This is precisely what you want if you want a greasy spoon diner (and we did!) It fits exactly every stereotype - crowded, egg heavy menu, bottomless mild..."
