Guestbook
“ We were needing a mutual meeting spot for brunch, and were not disappointed! All 6 of us had different breakfast options, and all were delicious! Everything you would hope for in a small town diner atmosphere. It was definitely the local place to be on a sunday. We look forward to the next visit! ”
“ The Sunday before labor day, it was very busy (party because most of the other restaurants were closed). They separated some of the large group tables to make more 4 person seating. Food was good. There are a handful of vegetarian options. I ordered the vegetable scramble (hash browns with veggies). ”
“ This is the ONLY restaurant in Washington, IA where I will order the hot beef sandwich. It's the only menu item I order, not that all their other choices aren't as good, they are! Plus with my favorite I get either a cup of soup or chili. Nice family restaurant. ”
