We stumbled upon this place by accident as our targeted spot didnât open until 9 am for breakfast. Huh? Must be owned by some night owls. Anyway, this was a typical grungy Washington State dive. No glamour here, not that it mattered, just a divey old school counter and booth establishment that needed a good power washing both inside and out. I was expecting to order breakfast but happened to see a patron nearby get a burger. Iâm a lunch all day gal vs. a breakfast one, so I decided to ask the server if the 11 am rule for sandwiches could be broken. He assured me It could, so I ordered the patty melt - a beef burger, covered in cheese and sautéed onions served on griddled and buttered rye bread. Hadnât indulged in awhile so was really hoping this greasy spoon could deliver the goods. Partner ordered corned beef hash, fried eggs, hash browns and toast. We are from the low country aka the âslow countryâ so longer wait times at restaurants is the norm. These folks were seriously laid back and chill, so everything moved at a snailâs pace. We werenât in a rush, so all was good.Except when we got the food. Iâm willing to wait for any decent meal, but my melt was not pretty from the get go. That poor patty had been cooked until it was bone dry. The see through piece of cheese added nothing to the sandwich, and all those glorious sautéed onions were playing hide and seek. The rye bread was good, but it overshadowed everything in between and just helped the dry sandwich become a desert that required a swig of Diet Coke to get a bite down. Ugh. Partnerâs eggs were returned as they still jiggled after he asked for the yolk broke and very well done. We left the place feeling nothing but the desire to never return.

Whenever we come here, I feel like I am in a small town diner. Many customers seem to be regulars based on the greeting that you hear from the staff. Service is excellent, coffee is kept topped off. Their breakfast potatoes are fantastic, I always pay the extra 50 cents for the peppers and onions to be added. Portions are generous. The create your own omelet is almost always my choice.

Located in a small trip mall, they have ample parking, but not necessarily adjacent to the restaurant.We were quickly shown to a table, which was located down the side of the building where they had construction materials stored. While the decor in this particular area was not acceptable, other areas of the restaurant looked clean and well maintained.Our waiter was extremely pleasant and efficient. Lunches were prepared and delivered quickly. Both meals were served hot and were well cooked.
