The restaurant has a very "locals" feel about it -- seemed like the wait staff knew a lot of the customers there. We had cranberry-pecan pancakes that were very good, and a Mexican omelette that was above average -- so far as flavor and temp go. There are literally hundreds of owl's (stuffed, painted, ceramic, etc.) as decorations -- almost... More

Service was good. Food was nothing "gourmet", but good just the same. Decent home-style food. More

We took a very large group there just last week and had once again a great meal. Make sure this is on your list for breakfast. More

I really enjoyed the homey atmosphere of this restaurant. The chili was delicious, and the waitresses were extremely pleasant. The only problem is that they need a parking garage in the back because the restaurant is so popular! More

The food tasted like a step above Denny's. Really nothing special about this place. The service and food all are medicore. Definitely nothing worth stopping your car parking and walking in to enjoy a meal. Burger king is right up the road! More

You have not lived until you have had Squid and fried eggs at Grandma. Do not turn your nose up to this dish, Heaven on earth. More
