This small locally owned cafe was such a hidden treat. The ladies were very friendly. We had cheese burger, BLT, fries, and onion rings. The burger was outstanding.

Old school dining experience, friendly service, food was served on time and hot. Best hometown burger in the area so juicy it runs down your arms. Be prepared to use lots of napkins!!!!! Prices are way cheaper than what you would pay anywhere else . Fancy restaurant quality food at cheap prices!!!!!

First off, this place is TINY from the outside. We weren't sure if they had indoor seating because there is a picnic table right in the door, but they do. There is one table for parties up to 6, then 5 or 6 4-tops. The decor is themed; all owls and as an ag teacher I love it (advisor, here by the owl!). The lady that took our order and cooked our food was personable and friendly. I would change the refill set-up though: the cook was very busy so we never really got any refills. The burgers are awesome. My kids LOVED the chili. They do take debit cards. Highly recommend this little hole in the wall!
