Huge pancakes dominate the plate, with crisp edges and a fluffy interior that soaks up maple. The 1/4 lb Cheeseburger Deluxe lands with a crusty patty, crisp lettuce, juicy tomato, and melting cheese. The Hand-breaded Chicken Fried Steak arrives with creamy mashed potatoes and house-made gravy that hugs the plate. It feels like a cozy, old-fashioned diner where the vibe is welcoming but tables can be snug.
