Had breakfast here while in town to check out he st Croix rod factory. My wife and daughters all got the pancakes which they loved. I got two ham egg and cheese biscuits. Everything was good and the price was on the low end. Just remember it's cash only before you go in. They do have an ATM inside

When we came in the restaurant was fairly busy, but the service was great and we did not have to wait too long to get our food.
