The morning after I arrived in Raytown for a visit with Mom from my home in Oakland, CA, I took her to breakfast here, as I found it on Yelp in searches for good places to eat near places we frequent.

Good "hometown" diner service, and the gals who have been here seem like they are invested in the place's success. I heard the coffee was great and noticed the servers giving refills at a speedy clip. Lots of locals here, and lots of seniors... that says prices are good and the locals don't support places that don't have good home-cooked food.

Mom had the biscuits and gravy (one of her all-time favorites) with hash browns and hot tea, and finished every drop. The two hot, homemade cinnamon rolls with homemade icing were placed on our table right after ordering (they come like bread and butter at evening meals), no extra charge. Mom dived into hers, and I kept saying to myself, "don't need it, don't need it, don't need it" knowing that the sugar carbs wouldn't be nice to me... but I gave in and enjoyed one with lots of water, knowing that if I didn't take in much sugar the rest of the day that my diabetic sugar levels would be okay.. and they were.

So I didn't feel so guilty about it.

Prices were real hometown-level, service was excellent, and it was a good call.

I'll be back with Mom in the fall when I return for another visit.

The food is fairly average but the cinammon rolls are wonderful. I go there just for the rolls and always take some home.

Busy place. Service fair. Food's OK, but not great; similar, in most respects, to the average small-town restaurants I've eaten at throughout America.
