“ The staff was exceptionally friendly and my fish and chips came with three big pieces. It is the Cole slaw that was most amazing! It had a secret ingredient I’ve not had before and it was memorable! I liked my table view out the window too. ”
“ Decent food. The coffee was weak. Eggs Benedict was good. Pancakes yummy. Biscuits and gravy was ok. Good gravy. Dry biscuits. Normal eggs. Average sausages. Small hole in the wall location. Pretty busy with many families. Food came fast and hot. I was looking for a quick meal while driving to Portland. ”
