    From first arriving and being greeted to our fabulous waitress it set the right tone. Five ladies celebrating the holidays so they were patient with us. They brought out a couple cinnamon rolls, I can see why they are a fan favorite and we each ordered a drink, my classic Bloody Mary was perfect garnished with all the fixings. We each got something different and sampled and there was not a bad meal in the order. I had the chorizo ranchero bowl, biscuits and gravy, chicken wings, chicken and waffle, corned beef and hash, and the schnitzel open face, each item was excellent in its own right, and made to perfection. We all said we will be back as this place is a hidden gem!!
