First of all, this place deserves a great coffee refill rating. The waitress, brought the coffee cups and pot to the table when greeting us. The prices are much cheaper than the chain breakfast places, and I can see the kitchen. Real ingredients, real people, real service, strange idea.
As for the previous review stating that the food tastes like you could make it at your home, NO WAY! Your pan or skillet doesn't have the use that their flat-top griddle theirs has, and that means great flavor.
Not fine dining, not fancy, but if you're in the area, try this restaurant.

This is a tiny little diner in an older strip mall. It's the kind of place locals go for cheap and easy breakfast. They are only open for breakfast and lunch. Very small menu of typical American breakfast. I had 2 eggs and toast, husband had french toast. Both dishes tasted like you made them at home. They also offer eggs with breakfast meats (ham, sausage, bacon), oatmeal, cereal. Coffee was good, and refilled generously. Family run, friendly folks - Cecil was the original owner but he has since passed away. Smoking is allowed in the entire restaurant. This review for a visit in July 2006.
