I got the SOS and it was great. The menu is simple and they will work with what you want. This is a place run by real folks so the prices are extremely fair. Jodie was my server and was great to talk to. The service was on point. The coffee is fabulous. The most expensive thing is 13.50 and is everything. They have SOS on toast (corned beef SOS), omelets, French toast, pancakes, homemade breads, classic northern breakfast sandwiches, etc. Definitely will be back.
