Traditional Breakfast Favorites
Start with our classic breakfast – two eggs cooked your way with bacon or sausage, hash browns, and toast. Add pancakes or a waffle to make it a hearty meal. Choose scrambled, fried, over easy, or poached eggs. Every plate comes hot off the griddle.
Pancakes & French Toast Made Fresh
Try our buttermilk pancakes stacked high and served with butter and syrup. Add blueberries, chocolate chips, or pecans. Our French toast is made with thick-cut bread, dipped in cinnamon egg batter, and griddled golden. Every order is made fresh in our downtown kitchen.
Custom Omelets Your Way
Build your perfect omelet with three farm-fresh eggs and your choice of fillings. Pick from cheese, ham, bacon, sausage, peppers, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, and more. Our cooks fold each omelet hot off the griddle and serve it with hash browns and toast. Available 24/7 at our downtown location.

GOOD Based on 6602 reviews Posted on Walter FTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Visited twice! Great service, great food and amazing cakes!Posted on Houston SpillmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Posted on Jennifer BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Posted on Gail MedinaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an exceptional meal and a wonderful server. Rosie took great care of us! Our patty melt sandwiches were massive and cooked to perfection, our granddaughter’s chicken tenders were cooked perfectly, and when I asked for well done french fries I got exactly what I wanted. The interior of the restaurant is clean, well lit, and provides an old fashioned Americana atmosphere, complete with neon lighting. The only disappointment is that they don’t carry ice cream. Every traditional diner I’ve ever been to offers some type of ice cream (sundae) or milkshakes and it was a letdown to find out that they don’t carry ice cream at all. Other than that, the food is great and we highly suggest stopping in to enjoy a meal when you’re in Chattanooga.Posted on Alison RichardsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
