Customer Reviews

"Excellent breakfast spot! This was our first time visiting what appears to be the local favorite place for breakfast. Parking lot was full. Very busy inside, but service was great, and food came out in like 10 minutes or less! Eggs, bacon and toast were all cooked perfectly. Joni's omelette was great, and coffee was fresh and hot too. Waitress was quick and attentive, and price was very reasonable. We will make it a point to come back the next time we are in French Lick. Recommend!"

"Went two days back to back. Classic diner food. Waitress remembered us and was super nice, engaging, and accommodating. Every person working there was super friendly and asked tables if they needed anything even if they weren't their server. They do prefer cash but take card."

- Daniel S.

"Such a cute, home-style restaurant and the perfect spot for Sunday brunch! We tried this place during our visit to French Lick and absolutely loved it. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food was really good. The pancakes were our favorite -- they were humongous and delicious! Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area."

- Morgan M.

"The food was really hot. I have to say in the server is really nice. I really did like him in the best of overall I think this place gives out a very good family vibe it. It's really easy to talk here and also which is really nice. I see a lot of servers play with a little kids, which is really kind of cute and also the biggest thing is I like the location because it's right next to a grocery store it's bigger what it looks."
