Eggcellent food, clean, friendly environment. This family owned and operated business cares...and every Sunday morning since 2017 they prove it to me. I love this place and have literally watched their kids grow up. Small town love served deliciously one meal, one smile and one friendly conversation at a time. Sip. Chew. Enjoy!
What a great family restaurant! The waitress was amazing! The breakfast was absolutely great and it was served in a timely manner. This restaurant has the great hometown feel of Morrison, Illinois.
1-21-25 Excellent! Stopped here on our way to Galena. What a gem in Morrison! Our breakfast was amazing! Everything was so flavorful and fresh! This is true home cooking! The coffee is great! They keep the coffee cups warm under a heater! Wow! They even warm the syrup! Amazing! The hospitality is very much appreciated! The entire staff is so friendly! We will definitely stop back in next time we are through this way!
WOW!!! THAT WAS GOOOOD!! The 1st time here and I have to tell you the meal was great!! I myself had the sausage skillet with green peppers and onion. Also had a side of biscuits and gravy and Sausage links.. The vegetables were nice crisp and fresh in my skillet.. I'm a big biscuits and gravy guy. These were amazing! The American Fries with the biscuits and gravy were just as good.. My wife had the steak skillet which she gives a 10. The place was clean the people were friendly service service was prompt..Our total bill came up to 32.70. If you like Sterling Illinois mom's diner or Maple house you will love this place. Great food great service..
This will forever be the Red Apple to the Entwhistle Family. Lots of great shared memories here and the people are so nice and service is always terrific! Great value for the food too.
Food was excellent, portion size was very generous. Waitress was very pleasant. We don't get here very often but every time we have been here we have enjoyed our meal. The Cajun skillet was delicious.
I tried the new breakfast tacos today & they were absolutely delicious!!! I will definitely order these again! Large serving (I took 1/2 of my meal home to enjoy later.) & great price of 8.00 ! I'm sure these are going to be a big hit with anyone who tries them. Thank you Family Chef for a delicious new addition to your menu!
Always a good place to go with a group of people. Very clean and well kept restaurant. With a huge selection on the menu. I’m a big fan of the meat lover skillet.
