Customer Reviews

Breakfast was good, biscuits and gravy exceptional. The place was packed, so it took a bit for the food to arrive, but worth the wait. Prices were very affordable. I ordered half order of biscuit and the Friday $2.99 egg and hash brown special. Great meal for under $6.50.

Great little diner in the heart of Pontiac, IL. Lunch is fantastic, and so is their breakfast (which they serve all day). A great little spot to eat when taking in the sights of down town.

This place is a hidden gem (literally a hidden gem; hard to find!) We loved the atmosphere and decorations. Overall, Great food and service. Best of all, the price couldn't be beat. We had breakfast for 4 people (coffees included) for under $40. We'll be back. I highly recommend this place if you want good food and/or like saving money

A great place to have breakfast. The people are so nice and they take our/your health very serious. We had the best omelet ever today, very tasty and fluffy. I highly recommend it.

What a delightful and friendly place! Not to mention the good home cooking (I had the Hot Beef Sandwich with mashed potatoes) and multiple pie offerings (had the cherry... they had run out of Strawberry for the day) that I would have gladly tasted all of them. The cherry was great, tasty crust, not too sweet. Have you guys thought about offering a pie flight... 3 or 4 different two bite pieces per plate...? Just thinking...
