Had such a great time here. Service and food came quickly. Very delicious and very affordable. The atmosphere is lovely! Lots of people that know each other. The seating is definitely not for people who don't want to sit next to strangers.

Yummy food, generous potions, inexpensive, excellent service, in a unique setting. Group of four, Sunday morning, Summer holiday weekend 2024. The pics say it all, it's an old rural schoolhouse with all the accoutrement that evokes so many memories in those of us of a certain age. We had the old fashioned omelette and it was fantastic. Our friend also ordered the special; a huge cinnamon bun. They also sell homemade cookies. Family owned and operated, our food was prepared and served by three generations of ladies. Cash only, no credit or debit cards. See pics for menu and hours.
