Coming home after a float and camping trip on the Current river and my friends and I were craving a local breakfast restaurant and boy did we hit a jackpot. The food was delicious and the serving size was fantastic. Staff was friendly and the locals eating there as well. Even have a small gift shop and sell some nice items. Definitely would like to come back if I'm in the area again. 10/10
