Great little diner with a view of Lake Isabella. We were there for breakfast and were seated and served quickly. She had the French toast with sausage patty and cleaned her plate. I had the scrambled eggs, home style potatoes and buttermilk biscuits covered in gravy. Delicious and filling.

Nostalgic old town cafe. A good spot to stop and have a bite next to the lake. Great friendly and fast service. Had steak and eggs, cooked perfectly as ordered. Candice, the owner, is super friendly and a wealth of information about the area.

Our first real authentic American diner experience with a spectacular view. The waitress kept topping off our coffee mugs after every other sip and she called me 'hun', so you know it's a real diner. 'Can't have a boring hot dog, hun. You gotta at least have some mustard.' Well thanks lovely lady for saving my kraut dog from being boring. It tasted amazingly
