Place was very clean and the customer service was amazing. Was a little dinner with tables and a bar to sit at and order food. They had very good food and the tea was fresh. Absolutely no complaints with anything. Food came out super quick and hot and exactly how ordered. Would def visit again. I ate breakfast but they offered breakfast or lunch at all times. Price was very fair for the amount of food I received

Wow! So I’ve been visiting Corpus since I was a kid. And I love finding new spots to eat at. And boy let me tell you this place is fabulous! It is decorated like an old diner. And I love the way we were able to eat at the bar top and hear all the action in the kitchen as they made our breakfast. And they definitely load up your plates with whatever you order! We are definitely stopping by next time we are in town!

Came across this restaurant on TikTok had to try it out! Extremely friendly staff the moment you walk in! Love the old diner look! It did take a while to get our food order in and get it out BUT it was excellent! Best Chicken fried chicken and homemade okra, I’ve had! There is so much on the menu I wanted to try I will definitely be coming back to try new things

Love this place. Had my solo breakfasts(plural)here at the bar. Cool, old fashioned diner stools and the staff is fun. Hot coffee and perfectly cooked eggs by Alex. Over easy and with the yolk broken! Nailed it!
