Nice little small place for the locals! The food is made fresh to order but it's good diner food. Give it a shot next time you drive by.

It really doesn’t look like much from the outside but it’s what’s inside that counts. I wasn’t expecting much. It had a few tables crammed into this little diner, people happily chatting. The waitress was friendly and helpful despite being the only person working the floor. She greeted us with a smile and got our order in quickly. We chatted about our days plan while we waited for our food. It didn’t really take all that long considering everything is made to order….these days most restaurants precook a lot of stuff and let it sit around until ordered…resulting in dry, cold unappetizing food…but that wasn’t my experience here. I ordered an omelette, my husband ordered ham & eggs, our friends ordered biscuits & gravy, pancakes, eggs and bacon…..my point being…we pretty much covered breakfast and it all came out at the same time —— hot & fresh. Ya know, I had pretty much given up on ordering omelettes because they are a huge disappointment but I was pleasantly surprised. The waitress checked on us and when we gushed about the food she blushed and proudly said her grandmother was the cook. Shirley (the owner) came out to check on us and she is positively the sweetest lil old lady ever!!! Sorry for those folks who want everything right this second. Maybe they need to slow down to appreciate the charm and uniqueness that is Shirley!

My husband and I went there two mornings in a row for breakfast. We had the same thing each time and it was delicious both times. Only downside to this place is the wait time because they have one cook and she doesn't cook it until you order it.

I had the half order of biscuits and gravy and a small breakfast. It was very good. I would like the sausage to have stayed on the grill a little bit more, as I like it just a little crisp on the outside. Mine was good, but I must say that I was jealous of my friends double stack pancake that were as big as the plate. They looked fluffy and absolutely delicious making me want to go back some other time to try it. He enjoyed it. My wife likes her French toast.

Small place right on highway 13 in Kimberling City. We wanted breakfast but got there a few minutes too late. Sandwiches were good. Friendly service too.
