Our favorite place to eat in town. Great food , great staff, great prices. Kate, the owner, is always so welcoming. Tried something new for lunch today. Kamikaze Grilled Cheese. BBQ pulled pork, cheese, bacon, onion rings on Texas toast. I was not disappointed, will definitely put it into my rotation.

Looking for lunch on the way to Missouri and found this place. Not sure what we were getting into, but once inside we felt at home. Everyone was so nice and food was amazing. What a pleasant surprise of homemade food with great flavor and care. If you are in the area (or 10 miles out) it is definitely worth it.
