We went here for the first time earlier this week. This place did not disappoint! My son and I both had the birds nest and it was delicious. He also ordered a cinnamon roll, which was great! The server did a great job, and all other staff members were also very kind. This is one of our favorite restaurants now.

Nice place. Food portions are generous and the cinnamon rolls are massive! Highly recommend! We ordered a Birds Nest and Hashbrown Omelet. One regular cinnamon roll and one fried cinnamon with cinnamon frosting.

So glad a local recommended the hashbrown casserole with sausage gravy on top--Absolutely delicious and filling. Ordered the mini size and still had leftovers. He also said the cinnamon roll was a must and it was very tasty. Great food and service. Location could use updating and very small location but the food makes it an absolute must go.

Nice experience. Small place with seating close together. Lots of workers there for such a small place, but food comes quick. We had to wait outside just for a moment before seated. If it's busy, be polite and eat and run. Food was very good! Double cheese burger, yum!

I was visiting from out of town. We stopped here for lunch and it was very delicious. The portions were very generous and the homemade chicken salad was outstanding. We also enjoyed the homemade cinnamon bun with frosting. Definitely recommend stopping there if you are in the area.

Love this place!! It has a very cute and cozy interior, and was beautifully decorated for Christmas when we came. The service is also great, very friendly. We ordered the deep fried cinnamon roll which was absolutely delicious, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, definitely worth the 2 hour drive from Chicago! If you’re a savory breakfast person, I recommend the Holland omelette. A good tip: if you come on the weekend, plan ahead and be prepared to wait outside for a table as they will not take your name or a reservation.
