The food was Amazing but the Service was not as good as it could have been. We were the only customers in the place and we were seated and orders taken right away. As soon as we were served our food, another waitress, not our waitress, immediately starts vacuuming right next to us while we're trying to eat. Coming so close with the vaccume to our table that we had to move our feet. She could have waited until we were done, and I found it to be very Rude! Aside from that it was a good visit.

Waited 10 minutes to place our order. Had to flag down another waitress to get refills on drinks. Our waitress had disappeared after serving our food. The food was good though. Love the banana bread

The food here is always fresh, delicious, and never fails to impress! No matter how weird my order is (mashed potatoes for breakfast anyone?) the team always does their best to provide me amazing service. I'm always greeted, almost never have to wait, and our servers are consistantly awesome. This place is great!!

Carrie provided excellent service, and the food was good. The initial seating at a wet table was a downside, with other tables dry.

Soup and sandwich. Pretty good food. But what tops everything is our server. She was honest and really good. It's great to have someone who appreciates their job. I don't know if I will return because I was passing through but I was very happy I came.

Melissa is back! Hot damn! She is truly “Bob’s Best”. Food was delicious, as always - ordered Sunshine skillet and meat omelet. Banana bread was so moist! Biscuits and gravy are the best around. Just a great group of people that work there! Always good quality food with good portions!

Surprisingly very good. I ordered the western omlette and a side of biscuits and gravy. The order came swiftly. The omlette was filled with fresh veggies and ham. The biscuits were light and fluffy and tasted great. The gravy, while it didn't look appetizing, was very good. The coffee was good also. Overall, I had a great breakfast and the service was awesome.
