"My husband suggested this restaurant as he had had a good breakfast here recently. He described it as “good homemade food” (but to stay safe he added “but not as good as yours!”, good save! I like a good unfussy breakfast, and was looking forward to some “homemade” tasting food. We were directed to a booth quickly and greeted by our server for our drink order. Drinks arrived quickly and I was deciding if I wanted to spend carbs on a biscuit. I asked the server if they were homemade. She said “we bake them here”. I clarified my question to “do you MAKE them here” to which she replied, “no, they come in frozen”. Strike one. You CANNOT be a “Country cooking “ restaurant with frozen biscuits. I decided to see how a frozen biscuit was, never having had one. I ordered the Scrambler as did my husband, with a biscuit for me and a pancake for him. There must have been 47 potatoes in each dish, a MOUND of potatoes with 2 scrambled eggs on top. No gravy on mine (ordered that way a few sparse onions and peppers, and cheese. Potatoes were deep fried which made them nice and crispy. I asked to taste my husband’s gravy as I wanted to see how deliciously they made sausage gravy. I am 99% sure that the gravy was from one of those big 10lb cans you get at a wholesale place. The gravy was blech! It was almost grainy- and mostly flavorless. I should add here that the biscuit was also flavorless- as well as tough as a shoe. You cannot seriously call yourself “Country Cooking” if you cannot get biscuits and gravy right- or homemade. Service was good, atmosphere was busy- but I likely will not be back."
