Good, but not great. We were in town for a cabin getaway, so I saw this place when searching for a breakfast spot. First impressions were that it was a busy breakfast spot. Usually a good indicator for some great food. I ordered the corned beef hash(CBH) and eggs over easy. The CBH was from a can, but was prepared properly with crunchy crust. The eggs were OK. Over easy done right means you have to flip the eggs for a short time. The sign of an inexperienced or lazy cook is that they just fry it as a sunny side up egg and cover it, so the steam cooks the top. That is what I had here. My family ordered the garden omelet (needed seasoning), chicken and waffles (2 orders and both needed seasoning), and French toast (my daughter enjoyed them). The coffee was good, as was the large glasses of orange juice and cranberry juice. All in all, a good place for breakfast, but just misses the mark for great;due to under seasoning, canned corned beef hash, and lazy or inexperienced egg making.
