Just had lunch there and the sandwich was amazing. I used to own a sandwich shop. The hostess was very busy, but still did a great job.

Good comfort food. Staff was attentive & friendly. I had ham breakfast... hubby had an omelet, opt for country potatoes vs. the hashbrowns. Was relaxing environment. 3 stars for the atmosphere... building could use updating. The ceiling was sagging a lot.

I honestly thought I had rated this place already, and was surprised I had not. All the better because I can give a better review, lol. The chef salad (modified by us) was nice and fresh cut when ordered, and I can say I am completely addicted to the veggie burger! (Although the sauce is not as said on menu, but I like it better anyhow) The service has always been good and they are willing to do the little extras I like when I order. (Like stuff on the side, or extra sides of what not) I try to stop in whenever possible to get my fix.

Great staff, good menu. Had the Jr. bacon cheeseburger which was perfect for my appetite. Historical photos of Vernonia and surrounding area. Full bar, coffee bar and slots. Good place to get breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Love this place. Good service and good food. Perfect destination after a twisty road ride. Biker friendly of all types, quite the place to go and show your ride.

I walked in and quickly enjoyed the comfortable ambiance, I appreciated the simple decour. I decided to order the country Fried steak. Honestly I was genuinely impressed with the service and how quickly my food was brought to me. As expected the food was amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Hopefully I'll be able to come back and try the prime rib before my trip ends.
