About
When we boast that there is something for everyone, it's not without merit. There are classic items and ones that are completely original and unique. And then there are the wings... A lot of places talk a good buffalo wing, but the "Chegg" as it is now commonly known, truly delivers. The wings are big, juicy and available in 17 sauces, both Original Breaded, or Naked. The Chicken or the Egg has become know locally and Nationally for these big beauties. And best of all, the whole menu (breakfast too) is available 24 hours a day (in season). But for us, it's not just about the food. It's about family. It's about camaraderie. It' s about good times. So come io in and join the family. Join the fun.…

Great food, but paying the bill sucked.

We had a party of five. One of them asked if we could have separate checks. We were told that the cashier could ring up each person separately. I had the Farmhouse Scramble Melt (but without the mushrooms). Very good, and way too much food....More

Great breakfast!

Huge menu with a great variety of breakfast options. Good size portions. Fresh fruit. Quick service considering how busy it always is. I’d give it 5 stars, but there is always a ridiculously long wait for a table.
