The chef, staff, and atmosphere make you feel at home. This would have been a top notch experience even if we hadn’t gotten food. Yet I dared to try something new, and was rewarded with a delicious, hot meal of titanic proportions. I am just in town passing through, so I can’t become the regular here I would be if I were a local. If you are passing through, stop in, bring friends and a big appetite!!

A family based smaller staff. What is lacked in ‘quantity’ they 100% make up in quality. Immaculate customer service from everyone. A hole in the wall for sure, can not be seen from the street. Limited seating inside and outside. Food was perfect. We ordered the following: Pancake breakfast: 10/10 fluffy, crispy pancakes. Home fries were crisp and seasoned. Perfect for 2 kids to share The Wild West: 10/10 very fresh ingredients, good flavor and portion. Recommend. The Washington Ave: 10/10- I added Feta instead of cheddar and that sent things over. Huge sandwich. Flavor packed. Might want a little more sauce. Cappuccino: 8/10 a little too much milk (hot skim milk) Strawberry mint lemonade: 10/10 I recommend breakfast lovers get here!

A delicious and indulgent breakfast. Portions are huge. And after I was stuffed, I kept taking tiny bites, trying to find room in my belly to keep the taste experience alive. I ordered something called, "I'M NOT EVEN SORRY!" from the backside of the menu: Scrambled eggs with country ham, onion, and cheddar. It's mixed with home fries and served with buttermilk biscuits. Everything slathered in sausage gravy. I was going to top it with hot sauce, but it was perfect as-is. My only criticism is that it was just ordinary diced Yankee ham, not the salty country/Virginia style I was expecting. Otherwise, Sassy Skillet got all the details right. The breakfast potatoes are red skin bliss, perfectly seasoned, and crisped on the griddle. The biscuits were fluffy, tangy, and buttery. The real milk and flour gravy was smooth & creamy, with big chunks of crumbled sausage, and a sweet/salty/spicy flavor profile that will transport you to the south and make you forget that you're eating in the Baltimore suburbs. My son ordered "Strawberries and cream French toast tacos." They are only "tacos" in presentation. Sure, it's gimmicky, but also fun. And the French toast, even if it weren't on a taco rack, would still be outstanding--adequately dipped into egg-custard batter (no dry bread center, not mushy and undercooked, like so many other places). It came topped with fresh cut berries, whipped cream, and powdered sugar. My son didn't even touch the syrup. This place is a gem. It's a little hard to find, tucked into the far side of the building, with signage hidden behind a red Stop sign. It's across from the public parking lot. And it seems like it's having an identity crisis: cafe or juice bar? No table service, you order at the counter, serve your own coffee, and collect your own napkins and utensils. Then they bring you a plate of food that's better than anything you're going to find at a sit-down place. The gastronomic quality deserves better ambience and interior decorating. But you'll be so satisfied--over stuffed and bloated--that you'll start dreaming about your next visit even before your stomach has settled and the lingering tastes have left your mouth.

The food here is the best I have had in Maryland so far. The biscuits and gravy is 100% home made and FRESH. My husband got the fiesta burrito and a big thing for him is restaurants using real cheese and not American. Again, the ingredients used and everything in the burrito was super fresh. My daughter had the confetti pancakes. DEFINITELY a hit with her and the presentation was a 10/10 Along with our meals we got fresh pressed juices. The owner wouldn’t put an ingredient in my juice because it wasn’t fresh and if she didn’t want to eat or drink it why would her customers. Customer service, a place can have the best food but ultimately it is customer service that sells me at the end of the day. This family owned diner has it all! The customer service was the best we have had being in Maryland.

Great little breakfast secret! We had the Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast and the Do You Dare? Omg, you could easily feed 4 people with the Do You Dare. Everything was delicious and made fresh with fresh ingredients and love. You can tell the owner/chef is passionate about food. Don't miss this one.

My daughter and I were looking for a place to eat breakfast. She found this restaurant on the internet. It was a little bit difficult to find because it's set off the street and has a very small street sign. My daughter saw it but I pay very little attention to my surroundings unfortunately. We dined in you make your order at the counter and they bring the food to you I had I believe the banger omelette and my daughter had pancakes. I added a photo and all I can say is it tastes as good as it looks. The two employees that we met were very conscientious, kind and quick at their jobs.

This place is tucked away, but it’s fantastic! Food is amazing, chef and staff super friendly and accommodating. We went on a weekday at noon in August, and it wasn’t super busy. But this place deserves all the hype of long lines and everything. I got the loaded hash brown avocado toast - hashbrowns perfectly crispy, cheesy eggs, avocado mash, and sriracha mayo drizzle. We also got the biscuits with strawberry butter - warm from the oven and absolutely delicious. The chef said he is coming out with a bigger menu in the fall, with more crazy milkshakes and avocado toast options. It was already so hard to decide! Def will be back.

This was a pleasant surprise! Found it on google as i was in the area. They are nice and made my food to order with substitutions. I got the half vegetable lovers quesadilla with a side of breakfast potatoes. It is so fresh and good!
