Reviews

I normally don't eat breakfast in the hotel restaurants unless it included in my stay, but since the two experiences I had at some of the local diners were a total miss, I figured I would give this place a try and I am so glad I did.
This restaurant was a breath of fresh air in terms of atmosphere, service, and food.
My server Mario was friendly and very attentive right from the start.
I ordered the Veggie Skillet off the limited sized menu rather than doing the buffett style, and I was pleasantly surprised by the nice portion I got and how great it tasted.
The home fries that came with the order had some flavor to them.
The establishment is very clean, and the service was super fast.
I'd agree that the prices are a tad high, including the cost for a cup of coffee, but it was nice that they give you a cup so you can take some with you when you leave.
I definitely recommend checking this place out, and I will be sure to come in again the next time I stay at the Holiday Inn rather than waste my time and money at one of the local places.

This is a great spot for a nice buffet breakfast.
They have cook to order omelets, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, breakfast potatoes, French toast with butter, and syrup.
Fresh cut fruit with cantaloupe, honeydew, banana, and oranges.
There is a variety of flaky pastries with lemon and cherry filling.
Danishes, scones, bagles, and toast.
They have a nice selection of jellies, jams, butter, and cream cheese.
Oatmeal with sugar, raisins, and chocolate chips.
