I found this restaurant on Google when we're on the way to Indiana Dunes. I read the reviews and decided to try it. Turned out this restaurant is a gem. All the foods that we ordered were tasty and fresh. Their pancake are fluffy. I really like their hash brown, too. I think the portion matches the price very well. They have many tables, but during lunchtime, we still have to wait around 15 minutes to get a seat. It worth the wait, though. I definitely will be back there again.

This place offers excellent service, quick seating, and food delivery. Their coffee is outstanding—it’s been a struggle to find a local breakfast spot with fresh, non-burnt or overpowering coffee. The gravy is thick and allows you to customize the seasoning to your taste preferences. I couldn’t find a single flaw in this establishment. Give it a try yourself!

Ordered something I wouldn't normally get -"3 Egg Scrambler"- my husband seen on the menu. And loved it! Don't care for bread much so they offered fruit or tomatoes on the side.

Stupendous. If I lived here I would come almost every weekend. My son and I kept raving about how incredibly good our food was. The menu is huge, pages of tasty delights. I had the French breakfast adding in the apple cinnamon French toast and my son had a Belgian waffle with glazed strawberries. They have both, glazed out of a can and fresh berries. Bacon and eggs were perfection as was the coffee. Service was impeccable, fast, and friendly. Best breakfast I've had in a long while.

As the saying goes: First time should be your best experience and it was. My husband and I enjoyed all services from walking through the door meet and greet, to the best server, to exiting the door. We must say, the food was awesome, fresh and hot .

Ordered the Denver omelet with hash browns, and a side of pancakes instead of toast. Every time I am here the food is amazing, and the portion sizes are huge! This is definitely two to three meals for me. Staff is always friendly and the restaurant is clean. I have also tried their crepes and stuffed French toast, both are absolutely amazing also!

This was my first time coming here since the building had changed from being Baker's Square. The blueberry pancakes were delicious and the portion sizes were quite large, enough for two people. This is one of the best breakfast restaurants in NWI.

Quick friendly service. Huge breakfast and lunch menu. Had Blintzs and fresh strawberries and 3 huge ones came out covered in berries. Enough for 3. Husband had a 2 egg breakfast and was very happy with it. Staff certainly attentive. Plenty of parking and easy in and off highway. We will stop again. Bathrooms super clean
