What People Are Saying

from Google & Yelp

"By all means, a five star rating. Food was cooked exactly as requested, hot, good portions for the money spent, service by several waitresses was great and the place was pretty clean. Food was served surprisingly quickly. The atmosphere was comfortable and quiet, but not eerily quiet. Good place in my book."

★★★★★

"I had biscuits with sausage gravy, it was inedible. No sausage flavor whatsoever in the gravy even with actual pieces of sausage in it. It was terrible. A complete was of money. My husband had the hungry man breakfast. He says it was soggy, tasted not fully cooked even though it was. We will not go back. We were visiting from another city and didn't know any better."

"Quick to take your order. The food is great every time I come in, and plentiful. Great coffee AND they leave a pot of coffee on your table, so you don't have to wait and ask for more! Again, great place for food!"

★★★★★

"I found this cute little restaurant while I was staying in Kalamazoo. The food was amazing, the service was excellent and the prices were unbelievable. Gia was my server all three times i came in, and she really went above and beyond. On my second visit, I also met Bre, who made this delicious treat for me, after I had a pretty tough morning. Thanks ladies! I will definitely be back."

★★★★★

"Well priced and comfy. Sometimes the food is excellent, sometimes just good. Never a bad experience though. Good coffee and they give you plenty."

★★★★

"Excellent food, excellent service, and one of my favorite things about diners: the server brought a whole pot of coffee and left it on my table...."
