Great Mom and Pop business, food quality was a 10! Beautiful ripe tomatoes the only good ones in town. Hamburger meat was delicious and high quality.Service was wonderful.The only criticism is their prices are too low--I want them to make more money and continue in business

What a nice diner. All the classic expectations are full filled and neat specials, too. Bonnie was great with the timing and coffee refills.

Awesome local diner. We had driven by this place a number of times and finally decided to stop and have breakfast when we were in the area. It did not disappoint. The southern grits and biscuits are really yummy. The pancakes are homemade. Best “home away from home” cooked breakfast in a long time.

After a so-so breakfast experience at a place right up the road, I came here not expecting much. Walking in the door, seeing the layout and the crowd, my expectations increased. I decided to get something a little out of my comfort zone and went with corn beef hash, grits toast and eggs. My only experience with hash was out of a can and can't even remember how it was prepared. This stuff was flavorful and delicious! I wasn't even sure what or how I was supposed to do with grits, so I just sprinkled a little salt and pepper and dug in.. Again delicious. The rye toast wasn't that cheap cardboard processed stuff, though not quite homemade, which I would never expect, it was quality. Everyone was pleasant and nice and my wife and I both walked away very happy and will be back!

Great local neighborhood breakfast & lunch place just off of downtown Tarpon Springs. Super clean and bright inside filled with friendly and efficient staff providing wonderful service with a smile! Even owner Dusty both greets you at the door as you come in and thanks you for coming in as you leave.I had the pork chop, eggs, and home fries special which was perfectly cooked all around especially the seasoning and cook on the pork chop which was delicious.This location has changed ownership and names over the years as multiple restaurants and seems to have finally landed with the right owners!

Small town diner with a small town feel. 1 of the owners ( Dusty ) greeted us at the door and was so kind to offer my wife a sweater because it was early and it was pretty cool inside. He even brought it to our table. Great hospitality and a perfect gentleman. This will be our new breakfast spot from now on. Besides that the food was delicious!
