I can't say how worth it dining here is enough! Friendly staff. Awesome vintage decor. Yummy food and delicious Hershey's ice cream. There are many local items for sale on the first and second that are worth checking out. So glad we took the suggestion to eat here after riding at Circle B Ranch.

I loved the food but I thought there should have been a bit more to it.If I had known coffee was 3.75 I would have skipped it as that's way too steep.I loved the service and the ambiance. With tip it was $18 which is too steep for oatmeal and coffee.As you can see the bottom serving portion of the bowl was not even full. More

I has the chef's salad which was filled with fresh turkey, ham, veggies, and was delicious. The turkey is made there and is perfect. My husband had fish chowder and a crab cake that he said was outstanding. We purchased a whole pie, I believe it's berries and peach, to take home with us. The pie has a crisp crust, lots of delicious fruit filling, and is huge! We are looking forward to returning soon!

The atmosphere takes you back in time...I enjoyed a quiet solo breakfast while I had some work to focus on and left feeling happy, full and peaceful, something about the creaking wooden floors make you feel like you are stepping back in time and allows you to slow yourself down a little. Helena's boutique upstairs also always has something beautiful to offer...I highly recommend stopping for a visit.
