Tremendous location. Amazing service. Food was spectacular. Pancakes were fluffy. Coffee was hot and fresh. Very fair pricing for a family of 4. Will for sure be coming back.

Great local breakfast spot! I had the country omelette - hearty, flavorful, and cooked just right. My partner ordered the two-egg breakfast, simple and classic, and it hit the spot. Friendly service, cozy atmosphere, and solid comfort food.

We stopped here on the way back home to Austin from a weekend in Fredericksburg. I had the veggie omelette and so did Megan. It was really good and the biscuit was great. Looks like a place where locals like to go, which is always a good sign. I recommend this place for breakfast for sure.

Hubby and I were in the area to attend the TX Fleece & Fiber Festival in Kerville. We stopped in for a quick lunch. I had the Swiss mushroom burger and fries and hubby had the catfish. Both were yummy!! Nancy Palmview, TX
