Excellent food and service. The counter is a great place to grab a stool and enjoy a view of the well synchronized grill furiously at work cooking the biggest (and best) pancakes west of the Fox River.

Award Nomination: Most Comfortable

A very down to earth family run restaurant. It's small and sometimes crowed but very quick.
The food is outstanding but very traditional. If you want and old fashioned style breakfast I can't recomend a better place.

Award Nomination: Best Breakfast Ever

Kathy's breakfast food is the best around. The omlettes are terrific (the weekend special of Asparagus and Cheese is my favorite). The pancakes are as a big as a plate - you can only eat one. The weekend waits can be long but they move the tables quickly. Go early for no wait!

Award Nomination: Best Service

Food was so so at best. Didn't help that the waitress was rude and had a boog in her pierced nose.

Won't go back no matter what!
