“ 05/07/2025 I have been here in 2006 when it had a different name, but I remember they had real orange juice. Today I decided to see if they still have good stuff. I went for breakfast and I ordered the Meat Lover Omelet and ofcourse the fresh orange juice. The Omelet came with bacon, sausage, and Ham. It was very tasty and flavorful. It also came with a side(biscuit with gravy) it cost $35.95. I also had to come back for lunch and ordered the Tritip dip deluxe style. It came with sourdough bread, the meat, cheese, and the sauteed veggies with fries for $25.99 The server by the name of Bonnie and Juan the cook were perfect duo. I wanted to come back for dinner but they close at 9:00 p.m. but I'm surely gonna comeback next time. ”
