Breakfast is really our main stay with big portions for the price that can’t be beat, so you shouldn’t leave hungry. All of our hash browns are cooked on a super-hot grill with a special butter blend, so they are crispy.

We pride ourselves on our skillets and eggs benedict along with omelets that fill up our big oval platters. We serve breakfast all day, so you might never know when it might be a lunch special.

I love this area and want to share it with as many people as possible. I have been a Realtor here for almost 15 years, and work hard for my sellers, and buyers, and provide them the best customer service possible. I am both honest and ethical in all my dealings with my clients and customers, and in life in general. But I would be nothing without the phenomenal support of those in my office.

Part of what makes Amber so good is her organization and efficiency. She remembers what people always drink and is on her way with it before she even greets the customer. Also, as a mom of four school age kids, her organization skills are as good as anybody. She has fun at work too and is always smiling and laughing which is contagious.
