Nice welcoming atmosphere. The music is soft and the acoustics are good, so even if there are a lot of people you can still hear your table mates without issue. Family run and family friendly. Have been here at least 4 times since they opened. The green sauce on the chilaquiles is yum. My husband loved the Mexican burger. Be sure to order the chicken tortilla soup if it is available.

Small, quant, quiet music. I had a cheeseburger and chicken tortilla soup for lunch today. The cheeseburger was very good, but I have to say the soup was excellent! I have gone to far too many restaurants that when you get soup, it is barely warm. This soup was hot! I mean HOT! and it stayed hot down to the very last bite. This might be my favorite place to get soup.

A refreshed version of the former Red Apple with a Hispanic flair. Been once, so far. Robert was such a pleasant host and server. The food? Good stuff. The chopped steak was perfect. The wife reported that the biscuits and gravy are good. We had a delightful breakfast. Will definitely be back.

This was my first time in since this restaurant changed owners, and I was impressed. The new paint and decor was fresh and inviting. They even had piano music playing in the background, which made for a casual and relaxing atmosphere. The food was delicious. I had a veggie omelet with pancakes as a side. Both the omelet and the pancakes were very tasty. In addition, the service was great. I highly recommend this place for a wonderful breakfast.

Overall rating: 4.25 out of 5. I had breakfast here a couple days after opening. It was a good experience. See additional details below. Food I had a pancake breakfast. It came with eggs your style (I chose scrambled) plus sausage and bacon. I preferred and asked for steak, and they were happy to accommodate my substitution. The pancakes and eggs were good. The steak had good flavor but was a bit too oily. Ambiance and decor They had really relaxing music playing. The restaurant was clean. The decor is accented with green (of course) and it is a soothing environment to have a meal. Service The server who helped me was attentive. He checked on me several times without being overbearing. He also checked with the kitchen on questions before telling me yes to make sure they could deliver what I asked for; he provided really good service. Location and parking The location is good. It is an easy turn into the parking lots from Main Street and there are lots on both sides of the building so you should be able to easily park. Accessibility I am not totally sure about the width of the door for a wheelchair but in terms of grading, the restaurant is definitely accessible for anyone in or on a walker, cane, crutches, and (probably) a wheelchair. Value and price My bill was about $25 for a pancake breakfast with steak and eggs. That's on the upper end of average given food prices these days.

Hubby and I were greeted by Josie with a welcome and a smile and we were seated quickly with menus. Nice variety of breakfast through lunch selections. Hubby ordered the Greek Omelette with pancakes and I ordered the Ham and Cheese Omelette. (We shared his pancakes.) He also ordered coffee. My omelette had wonderful swiss cheese (my choice) in the center. However, I'd understood the omelettes came with hash browns, but these were fried potatoes (a little difficult for me to eat). Still, the dining area is fresh, clean, and newly decorated, the ambience provides soft music in the background, and the server was attentive, a happy guy. Easy parking, good location.

Nice clean establishment, cozy atmosphere. I had a Denver omelet panini which was excellent. It was served with hash browns that were definitely homemade. Great service too. Will definitely be back!
