It's hard to believe that a place like this exists in today's crazy restaurant world. But believe me when I write that this place will likely restore your faith in small town, rustic, down-to-earth food done without pretentious pretenses or preposterous price gouging. We were sold on making a visit by our local friends who bragged up their pancakes larger …
Excellent food and service, thank you for the great dining experience! Keep up the good work!
Outstanding food, service and atmosphere. Next time we're in town, guaranteed we will be back!
My only complaint is that there wasn't a warning label on the menu to tell you how much food you get! So good, definitely worth the wait to get in. Who knows if or when I'll get back to Brookings, but I certainly have a go to place now.
Best breakfast in Brookkngs, highly recommend. Small town atmosphere, good service, great home cooked food.
Great food, fairly quick with how full it is. Huge portions. I got the double bacon cheeseburger with tomato and lettuce and couldn't even finish it as much as I wanted to. so very filling and delicious
The food was amazing!! Freshly cooked and made to order. Staff was welcoming. Very casual dining with delicious food and reasonable prices. I'm cutting back on carbs, so for my steak and eggs, I replaced the potatoes with veggies (diced peppers, onions, mushrooms) and added salsa. The coffee was always kept full and hot.
Friendly people, homely hospitality, lively atmosphere and great food with huge portions! Definitely worth repeat visits!
Went for breakfast on a Sunday. It was packed, but there was definitely not a long wait to be seated.. the staff was very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious, and the prices were great as well. Next time I am in Brookings, i'll be stopping in again.
Has the heart and soul of a "Mom and Pop" with the fun of a college town. Anyone can come here and have a good time. We had the kindest server I believe I have ever met.
