Such a lovely place. Great local fair and a friendly atmosphere! I got the Pittsburgh Salad which was a very nice size and price. The building is a little small for families larger than 7, and you can tell it's been around for a while. But, for being in business for 50 years, it's definitely worth a visit!

Always a pleasure. I had the seafood omelette this time. Amazing. I will be full until dinner. My hubby had the turkey club croissant sandwich and loved it. Mac salad perfect.

GIGANTIC portions!!! Delish. We had about a 10 minute wait Sunday morning brunch but were seated to a nice, clean spot. The service was prompt and pleasant. Accommodated our individual orders and had nice sized to-go boxes to handle all the leftovers. Super filling and creative breakfast food options.

This was such a great find. I was looking for breakfast while staying around Letchworth State Park and came in around 6:30. Definitely a local place where the few folks inside knew each other which is a nice atmosphere. I was very pleasantly surprised with the big portion sizes and the cheap price. Great omelet and pancakes!

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, and nothing is better than Homemade food. John & Sarah's was amazing and Homemade food at it's finest. Menu was great and had amazing specials. But what really put them over the edge,, was their Homemade pies. I order one for dessert and two to go.. Staff was great as well. Definitely planning on going back again soon.

Had breakfast while visiting family. Most outstanding delicious down home breakfast ever. Short stack melted in your mouth, skillet with farmers sausage, delicious biscuits and gravy. I could give 50 stars I would.! I’m from the south and the biscuits and gravy here blow it away.

Best burger I've had since I've left Texas. Excellent Reuben sandwich as well! Fries were good and they even put some Cajun seasoning on it for us.
