Sat at the bar and was greeted by the 2 people on opposites sides of my seat with a "Hello". Service was great. Coffee stayed full. This is a locals place for breakfast. Everyone knew everyone and they were welcoming. Young lady cooking kept the griddle full Ordered coffee and a Big 3 egg omelet with hash browns. The omelet has bacon, sausage, tomato, onions and peppers. It was a hearty breakfast and the portion size was just enough to join the clean plate club. One thing to know is bring cash. No cards accepted. They didn't give me a hard time. They pointed me to the "service station" a block up the road to the nearest ATM and they save my coffee and breakfast for when I returned. All my travels this throwback diner will be remembered when I am next in Albemarle.. Thanks!

I was on the road and stopped for several days with family and wanted to take them out for a meal. Complicating things is the fact that I had a big respiratory setback when I had COVID, so my doc wants me to limit activities in indoor public spaces because I can't tolerate a mask anymore--so it's outdoor dining only for me, and it's August in NC. It means so much to me when a restaurant offers outdoor table service. And breakfast is the right time for summer outdoor dining, before it gets too hot outside. Our food came out quickly and featured perfectly cooked eggs and crispy-edged hash browns, just the way I like them. The staff were all efficient, friendly, and very kind. I'd be here all the time if I lived in the area!

Best breakfast in town hands down. I've been going since I was little in the early 2000s. Same familiar faces and homey feel. Don't fear the line outside the door on busy mornings; it moves quickly. Basic breakfast menu with many classic dishes to choose from. My favorites include their french toast, pancakes, bacon and cheese omelette, and gravy biscuit. Be like a local and keep the front door closed when waiting; a kind gesture for the staff and those sitting near the door. Keep in mind tips are shared amongst staff so everyone is working hard and the team effort shines. Great and quick service. Takeout is great too!
