Food was amazingly good! Omelets "soft" are difficult to do well and this place made a really good one - bacon, cheese and tomato. Biscuits excellent, not dry but a little crispy on the golden brown top. Grits good. Husband reported his bacon, egg, Grits, biscuit breakfast excellent. Service quick and friendly. Prices under 10 each. Was tempted to try 2 eggs with tenderloin, but glad i went for the omelet. Not a fancy or spacious place and bathroom out back, but the food definitely deserves 5 stars.
