We had a good time and a good breakfast. I had the Crossfitter, we shared the Bananas Foster Pancakes, and my partner had the biscuits and gravy platter (not pictured). Only complaint was that I initially ordered an unsweetened iced tea, which unfortunately was spoiled.

Went for brunch for one of my daughters birthday and had an excellent experience. Food was fantastic, even garnished with a nice piece of parsley! And service was stellar as well. This place was recommended to us for the same reasons, and I wholeheartedly agree. They are a great,comfortable diner-type restaurant, A+ experience

I absolutely love coming here. I use to come here all of the time with my mom and sisters. They always have good food and service is always great! I just treated someone to a birthday breakfast and it was perfect! It’s never to loud and even when it’s full staff always makes it convenient. They have turkey substitutes which is wonderful for those that don’t eat pork and vegetarian options. When I was gluten free I came here often because they have many dishes without bread/gluten.

My kids and I come here at least once a month for breakfast/brunch, they request only this restaurant! It is such a cute family owned place with service that is superior every time we go. They are so courteous and friendly. The food is equally delicious and portions and prices are very reasonable. Their decor is so homely and the inspirational quotes everywhere are a wonderful touch. So far I haven’t been disappointed and hope to continue visiting here often.

My wife and I haven't discovered a gem this good in a while. Old fashioned theme decor with a modern style menu. Service was great. Seasonal special pancakes, tried the pumpkin which were very good. Other reviews complain about prices, but it seems like market price nowadays. The plates were good size so you dont feel like you overpaid. I'm not a local, but will definitely stop by again the next time I visit the area.

great breakfast spot! a lot of options on the menu. there was no wait at 9:30 on a weekend morning and the food came out extremely fast. both the waiter and owner were so friendly and accommodating that it made the experience even more enjoyable. we were just passing through the area, but it seems like a nice local spot and we’d love to go back if we were ever in the area again. pictures show the mess madness and the biscuits and gravy. both were delicious!

Waiting for Costco to open, we headed to the Red Cabin. It was wonderful. The place was as warm as our reception (and sadly empty.) Nonetheless, we enjoyed a fabulous breakfast with many wonderful options. I feasted on the Lobster Benedict 🦞 (oh, yes, not crab as the menu states), son enjoyed his chocolate chip pancakes (no surprise) and my wife had a light breakfast egg & veggies meal. At a breakfast restaurant, my one criteria is "Do they have plenty of marmalade on the table?" Yes, they did! Service was great and the food was delicious! ALMOST makes me want to head to Costco too early more often. Thanks, Red Cabin! Lobster Benedict is the REAL Breakfast of Champions!

Fantastic breakfast spot! We got the cinnamon bun appetizer and it was seriously one of the best we’ve had! So soft, warm and ample amount of icing. For mains, we got the Mexican sliders and 2 egg breakfast. Standouts were definitely the home fries, loved the spice! I wish the sliders came with chorizo instead but were overall good. Our waitress was also so nice. We came with our 3 month old and she was very patient and accommodating. We appreciated that the food came out quick!
