Classic atmosphere, good service, great food! I don't understand the complaints unless they're fake or rude people who like giving bad reviews. I'll be going back especially for the coffee 😍😍

The whole place was running smooth, and the staff was on top of everything. Our server, Robin, was …
I visited the Pine Cone from Texas a couple of weeks ago. I love a good breakfast spot and this seemed to be a local favorite. I went in the middle of the work week, so it was not crowded at all. There is a sign that says to wait to be seated so I stood there a few moments …
