My husband says we found our new breakfast spot, they made his eggs just they way he likes them he also really liked the hash browns. I wasn't super hungry so I had the BLT and it hit the spot. Friendly service and good food.

She had chicken fajita omelet; stuffed full and delicious. He had chicken fried steak with creamy mashed potatoes, green beans and iceberg lettuce. Felt almost like I was back home in Texas, y'all! Old town diner complete with glass block walls and painted windows, "Home of the All Day Breakfast". Wait staff Stephanie was great. Brought green beans side order after canceling it bc she served the salad. She's a doll and the place reminds me of home cooking from the 50s 'n 60s. As Arnold would say, "I'll be Bach!"

Good food and good prices. Service is a little off and not real welcoming. But food is good and well priced. The place could use a good scrubbing, and the AC was struggling. They just need to update the interior with new paint and scrubbing. Check em out.

Amazing home cooked meals! Hats off to Chef Cherry! Restaurant is very clean, cozy.

Delicious food, great service, reasonable prices! We were a party of 5 - 2 ordered BLTs, 2 hamburgers & 1 patty melt. All were satisfied. The only downside is the location is very dark- little or no streetlights.

Early breakfast spot for me when I'm El Dorado. The wait staff is friendly and the breakfasts is delicious. This is one of the few places that know how to cook grits that aren't runny or too stiff.

Crawfish was very good and was only $7/lb!! Sweet tea was just right and our server was very attentive.

We had an excellent brunch: silver dollar pancakes and cheeseburger/fries for the kiddos. The silver dollar pancakes are twice as big as expected. Adults ordered the Johnny b's club and the hamburger steak. Appetizer - crawfish bites. We have no food complaints. It was all delicious, great value, nice portion sizes, and had that down home cooked feel that we search for. They even have a fried bologna sammich.... Nuff said right? Service was excellent, greeted with smiles, attentive, quick, kind staff. Ample seating, large parking lot. Inside is clean, with the exception of a few flies just from the door opening and closing. We had one visit our table but easily shoo'd it away. It wasn't problematic thereafter. We'd definitely come again when in town. Need to try those frog legs.
