Great wholesome homemade food by wonderful and welcoming folks. I love my breakfasts here. I need to expand and try other things, but I dig the biscuits and gravy so much. Yum!

Always friendly atmosphere, always willing to making to your specifications. If you don't like something they are always willing to remake if you ask.

My spouse and I have been to this place and its predecessor for a very, very long time. We usually go once a week to do our business meeting in the small room where I can hear better. My only wish is that they have more pastry. Sometimes they run out. It is a lovely, friendly, and safe place, where people can hang out as long as they want. It would also be good if it were wheelchair-accessible. It is the only place in Glenwood like this.
