We are from out of state, It was a Great place, the breakfast biscuits sandwiches were so good. It's a little local joint, no fancy, no hipster, just damn good & reasonable food. As to which, we came back a second time for those Breakfast sandwiches! Place needs a good power wash and paint outside, but didn't care. The food made the place!

This place is right off the highway. They have great coffee and biscuits. The service was excellent. 2 servers for 10 tables and they handled it with grace. Don’t let the outside appearance turn you off, the inside is clean and the food is warm.

Old time diner which is why I like it. Nothing fancy here - a large cutout of John Wayne hangs on one wall. It's a small place and food is basic American fare.

If you're in to comfort food, this is the place to stop. A true slice of diner Americano. The service was wonderful, and the server was polite. If you're hungry like a bear, you will leave like a full one. Cheers!!

This is my favorite hole-in-the-wall, local spot. With my schedule, I just can't get there when they're open most of the time.

My wife and I recently spent a week in Asheville. After seeing some reviews about this restaurant we decided to check it out for breakfast. So glad we did! It's a great option to get away from chain restaurants. This diner is truly home cooking at its finest. The only exception to that from what we ate would be the home fries. They seemed to be from a frozen bag of home fries. But everything else we had seemed to defintely be homemade and delicious! The pancakes were some of the lightest and fluffiest I think I've ever eaten. Their sausage patties are flavorful with the right amount of seasoning. The French Toast is perfection. Eggs over medium were cooked the way they should be - the whites were cooked through (but not rubbery) and the yolk still runny. We ended up going back for a second day because everything was so good. I had a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit one morning and it was truly delightful. The service was terrific and the place was full of locals. That tells you the food is excellent! We will make this a go-to for our future trips! One thing to note is that the prices on their website are not acurate so plan on a couple dollars higher than what you see.

Man this was the best Breakfast I have eaten in a long time. I loved the homestyle taters and the bologna egg and cheese on toast. My wife said the white gravy was to die for. And the scramble eggs were so good. I will so be back to this place and try lunch. But for sure will eat breakfast here again. So stop by and try for yourself how good this place is.
