This is a great little place to stop. Very homey place with GREAT service. Lots of locals there so that means they like it too, not just a tourist place. We were there for breakfast. Very busy but still got food very timely and it was hot. My only complaint would be I would like more cheese in the omelet.

Nothin' fancy, but GOOD! Service was good. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time. It was delicious and there was plenty of it. Price was pretty good too. Ambiance was fine. IMO, the best breakfast place in Shelbyville.

Great price for the food. You'll meet a bunch of the locals sitting in there all morning. My grandparents eat there ever Saturday morning and absolutely love it. The service is super friendly. It's a old downtown building but still looks great in there.

Our family has been coming to Lake Shelbyville for many years and the last couple we've made sure we stop when we're in town. Breakfast is our usual staple when we stop. Today I stopped in with my brothers before heading out to the lake. My brothers had usual two eggs over with bacon toast and hash browns. I had a ham and cheese omelet. The omelette was loaded with ham, I mean loaded. Was very good. I also had a side of bacon....could have been cooked a little longer, my brothers felt the same with their order. We will be back next time in town.
