The food and service was great! Love the fruit pancakes. They messed up on a few orders but were quick to fix it. The kids eggs and bacon was not filling at all.

OMG! The food is great here. We go here almost every time we are in Kirksville. The service is somewhat slow, but it it always VERY busy. Give it a try. I will add pictures on our next visit.

I will start by saying I really don’t come here for the food even though I’ve never been disappointed. It’s a little diner spot serving exactly what you would expect. I usually get the Rex Mex Omelette. Or the famous Garbage Burger, lol. Yes, that’s what it’s called! Back to the beginning, I’ve been in the hospitality industry most of my life and AMY is by far one of the best servers I have ever encountered! She is ALWAYS upbeat and is on point!! AMY makes this place SHINE. Thank you, Sincerely AMY for always making my dining experience here EXCEPTIONAL!! YOU ARE A STAR!!! I hope you are treated exceptionally well by your employer!! You deserve the best!!! Much love lady!! Also, AMY IS A HOOT!

The service was excellent. Our waitress was very friendly and was great. Had the big bob fish and it was very good. Definitely will go back when we are in the area again.

Fantastic breakfast and even better service. We had a larger group. We had one spilled drink, and the waitress handled it very well. It was also one of my kids' birthday, and she took it upon herself to make it special. Overall, it was a great experience with great food. We will be back the next time we are in town.
