I'd give this place 11 out of 5 stars. What a place, that makes you feel, like you've been there a million times. And tastes to match! Thanks for the great experience. Can't wait to come back, Sarah was a delight!
Hometown diner with fresh in house quality food offerings. The atmosphere is relaxing not rushed. Service is outstanding and priced to fit a family budget.
Hello Sarrah, It was wonderful being able to have dinner in your restaurant with my mother and have you worked with us. I've eaten with you many times before and I've always enjoyed your company and the food at this establishment. I hope to be able to spend time with your restaurant again and be able to talk with you. Love the fact that you and I are part of the same generation. My mother and I enjoyed you very much. The dinner was wonderful and the experience was amazing.
Lovely people own this and are not afraid of hard work in the kitchen! Getting in at 4am to bake biscuits and prepare peach compote!! Delicious Delicious Delicious They claim pancakes are as big as your face, but NO!!! They're as big as hefty hubcaps at this Filling station!! Roz owner/baker/cook is awesome and friendly and in the know about the area around her and suggested places to explore while we were in town. It's a tiny hole in the wall, with huge yummy eats!!! Thank you guys!!!
Holy Caca! This is a got to go out of your way to stop and eat. The homemade food is incredible. The homemade dessert is amazing. Thank you Amber for reading my mind about the Breakfast Bowl ! The gravy and biscuits were phenomenal. The owner does the cooking, and I wanted to know if they had a full blown chef behind the grill? The friendly service and conversation made us feel like family. Prices are very reasonable. Coffee is great. Look for the large green next door. It's connected to the Ability Really office on the corner. I drove by it several times, glad I turned around.
We really enjoyed the Sunshine Platter, the split beef gravy was so good. Everything made from scratch; biscuits baked to order, fresh from the oven to our plate! Plus, a little guy has his baked goods for sale, it was THE most moist strawberry cake I've ever had! Absolutely delicious! I'll have to find his bakery when he opens shop!
We truly enjoyed our breakfast this morning. Great service and food was very tasty. Excellent prices too.
