The staff was funny and friendly. We actually went for breakfast. It was really good. Everything was cooked well, and their biscuits were the best I have had in a restaurant in a long time. Try the padded hash browns. My god, they were wonderful.

The food and service were really good, the atmosphere was clean and updated. The host was a little unprofessional. He spent most his time leaning over the counter, looking at his cellphone.
