Very satisfied with my visit to this family-owned restaurant. Clean utensils, plenty of napkins along with a very attentive and humble server. I had the Veal Parmigiana. It came with boiled greens, the choice of mashed potatoes along with Ceasar salad. The Veal was cooked precisely. Great flavor gravy and salad was freshly made. I highly recommend this place to eat.

We go here for group outings and as a couple for breakfast quite often. They have a good selection of breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals. I don't think I've had dinner there myself yet but I will definitely do so. I have enjoyed all the breakfast meals I have had at this location, as have all those who have joined us to eat here.

Very friendly team working there. Had BBQ spare ribs. The flesh just came off the bones and the bbq sauce was very nice. A good place to eat when visiting or you live in Vermilion.
