Tucked beneath the Barnyard Shopping Village, this place is tough to find. But we had a good breakfast and enjoyed the coffee.

Service excellent. Anything on the menu is great. The Pebble Beach omelet is the best. So big need to share with my husband. Have a mimosa with your breakfast. Coffee is great. Location is great especially after running.

It was a Tuesday morning and we waited almost half an hour to get served breakfast. Great place to go if you need to kill a morning or have all the time in the world. food was so - so. Service is the worst.

I saw the good reviews and took a chance..not a good move on my part. We had the worst waitress ever. The only thing nice I can say is that the food was mediocre and the waitress was friendly..super slow and confused but friendly..steer clear.

After reading the glowing reviews about breakfast we decided to try it on a Saturday morning. I thought the Carmel omelet was a bit overdone in that it was way too dry. I prefer my omelettes fluffier. It was enough for two meals but reheating it only made it drier. I also thought the biscuit was dry. I did like... More

Wonderful cheese biscuits. Good portions. Good service. A little hard to find. Indoor a bit close, & outdoor dog friendly. Go here multiple times a year.

This restaurant is a hidden jewel. When we sat down we noticed everyone's meal around us looked fresh, homemade, and plentiful. My wife and I ordered different things so we could share. Everything we had was great and would highly recommend this place to anyone willing to listen. Try the cheddar biscuit! Get there early as this place fills up... More

Come for the cheese biscuits, stay for the omelettes. Choose your own ingredients - super! The cheese biscuits are excellent. While one of our party said these were not as good as Red Lobster's, these are still very, very good. Potatoes are ok - good, not great. The service was very good. Reading some of the recent reviews, we were... More

Friends advised us to be sure and stop and highly recommended the food. It was great!!! We used our GPS which lead us to the location of shops but we still had to ask for directions with all the shops around. It is located between two buildings and down some steps. The staff was friendly with good service. The banana... More

This is one of the best breakfasts I have ever had. Large portions so if you don't eat a lot you might want to split! We had the huevos rancheros with their homemade chorizo and our taste buds screamed with delight. Our friends had the skillet scramble and absolutely loved it. Their sausage is amazing as well.
