This was my first time eating here it was in the afternoon when we went. The food was really good I got the Philly cheese steak omelet and the hubby got the sampler plate. The server was great she was very nice. We were happy customers it's a nice little restaurant we will definitely have to go back.

Found this little gem because of the local paramedics. Home made foods with great service and staff. Small, but clean and tidy. On the corner of E. Clayton and N. Main st Dayton, Texas
