We stopped by on our way home to Rochester and we are so glad we did! The atmosphere was classic hometown diner, full of people talking and enjoying their food. The service was amazing, you could tell the waitress had her work cut out for her keeping an eye on all the tables but managed to still provide fast and genuine service. And the FOOD my goodness, it was delicious! So many places have switched to things like Sysco and buy premade things. Not this diner. The homemade sausage? Delicious! The bread from a local bakery? Insane! And the home fries were perfectly seasoned. The serving sizes were really good for the price and we ended up with plenty of leftovers to enjoy later at home. If you are considering giving it a try, let this be your sign to go for it!

Nice hometown diner. Good food, good people, good service. The only bad reviews I've seen look like they come from people we really don't care to have in our town anyway.

Good little spot to have breakfast and I assume other meals as well. Nice people, nice waitress.

Food was delicious! The homemade pan sausage and homemade toast are so good. Also like their take on hash. Like another review mentioned, this is also homemade and is cut fried potatoes with shredded meat mixed in. A slight cinnamon/maple hint. Different, but tasty. Our waitress was sweet, and the food was ready fast. Highly recommend!

I judge a cafe by its coffee first and this place did not disappoint. Full flavored and rich…then food and service matched. They had us in and out great time. The corn beef hash was excellent and both my kids enjoyed their meals as well. Definitely recommend, I’m glad we found it.

Very quaint and relaxed atmosphere. Service was extremely friendly and quick. This cafe was filled with regulars, and you know that because the person running it knew people on a first name basis... I have to say that the food was phenomenal, and the fact that everything is prepared in-house rather than coming from some pre-packed goods. My wife had French toast and said it was the best she's ever had. I had 2 eggs and cornbeef hash made with diced potatoes and actual shredded corned beef, not some nasty greasy, highly ground substance.

Great food at a very fair price and friendly staff. Everything I ordered came out perfect and quickly. I ordered eggs with cheddar cheese ham bacon toast and home fries with onion all for 15 buck with juice and coffee. The onions were so flavorful and cooked just right. :) Love that they sell hand made soaps there as well and all the pies are home made. One of the two diners I trust to give me quality home cooked food that’s not from a can. Definitely check them out if you’re in the area.

We came in the Friday after Thanksgiving and the food was excellent!! Can't judge a book by its cover. If you are looking for home cooked, fresh food, then this is the place!! We had a huge lunch and paid only 23.00. Mac and cheese is homemade, DE LISH!!!! The server was very nice !!!

Great food, great staff, and great price. Be aware your gps will take you to the wrong address just call for directions and bring cash. Over all a great place!

Huge portions on the breakfasts. The frittata was big enough to feed 2, and the sausage gravy and biscuits, something I look for at any diner, were fantastic. There's something about diner coffee that just hits so much better than the stuff at home. Cash only for travelers taking the back roads, There's an ATM at the plaza in the plaza kitty corner.

Wasn't sure what we were walking into when we detoured through this town while on a road trip... But wow did we nail it! Amazing food....it didn't feel like "diner" food....it was one of the best home cooked breakfast experiences we ever had while traveling. And the food was hot 🔥 when it hit the table. Worth Every Penny! Meat lovers omelet....yum! Home made toast is also killer!

A little history on the menu. Nice breakfast spot in Lafayette Small place but good service. I wish Tully had a new breakfast spot, with a good home cooked breakfast, eggs, toast hash browns. Will come back.

Rudest server I've had in a long time. Couldn't explain the menu item sizes to me, got an attitude over asking to add something, never checked in on us and had to beg for a refill. Acted very uppity and like we were a bother. So immature, grow up. Also the frittata is not a frittata at all, just everything thrown together

Attempted dine-in. Cash only notification on door. Not a problem if you know before you go. Waitress was not friendly. Didn’t acknowledge us in any way until we gathered our things (after seeing if we had enough cash for breakfast for 4 and a tip - we didn’t) to go and then couldn’t have cared less that we didn’t stay. Probably had enough if we didn’t care about tipping her.
