I visited this morning for my birthday breakfast, and it was my first time at this spot, which I chose because of its fantastic reputation. I had to try the biscuits and gravy, and they definitely did not disappoint! The hash browns, however, weren't quite to my liking. Our food arrived swiftly, which was great, although it did feel a bit rushed with others waiting for our table. We got there at 8 am, and it wasn’t long before the restaurant filled up. The place was clean and well-maintained. I found the prices to be fair for the quality of food. The service was decent.The woman who seated us was particularly pleasant. Overall, while I'm not certain if I'll return, I'm glad I had the chance to try it out.

Very cool old firehouse converted into a cafe. We stopped here on our way from Papillon NE to Colorado Springs. Very friendly staff and our food was served fast and hot. Atmosphere was very quiet and relaxing. I would stop by here again if I am in the area. Nice breakfast selection

Popped in after a soccer game and 2 larger tables were available or we could wait for a 3 top. We decided to join the 2 people that walked in with us to get the bigger tavle and had no wait. Met Jan and Rick Evert and enjoyed a good breakfast and made some new friends. They love to travel as well so easy conversation. Food was as expected and service was low maintenance. Would go again if in the area!

Short wait to get in for breakfast after The Thunderstorm of August ‘25 earlier in the morning. I woulda waited all day if I had known what I was in for. Best breakfast in ages. Service was great. Several folks topped off my coffee throughout breakfast. I had a couple eggs over medium, perfect hashbrowns (are they crunchy? Are they not? Are they both? So good!), sausage patties, sourdough toast. And a side of sausage gravy to make sure it all went down smoothly. My buddy had a ham and cheese omelette and raved about it as well. As I was paying, a server walked by dousing a cinnamon bun in icing like a fire engine at a 4-alarm pancake factory blaze. I was full to the brim so gonna have to make another trip for one of those. Not big on taking pics of my food, so here are the mints at the cash register. This proves I’m not a bot, right?
