This place is awesome. We stopped in on our way out of town at the crack of dawn and the service was great. Better was the food. Crazy good prices for the portion sizes. I got the Garbage plate and it was a huge amount of food, and they don't skimp on the meat like most breakfast places. The atmosphere is cool, the servers are super nice, and couldn't ask for any better on my plate. 10 out of 10 would recommend 👌

Super fun place and atmosphere. The girls are so sweet! Food was great and survive was good. Sat at the bar and watched the morning rush. Recommend the breakfast sandwich. Pancakes were yummy! We sat at the bar, easy enough.
