Cool little greasy spoon stop. Food was very good, and there's a selection of homemade sausages! I had George's Skillet with George's Jalapeños Cheddar sausage. Service was also fast and friendly!
Well service was good but since Covid I don't think anyone was ready for a full on crowd for the car show right outside of the door. Twain Harte is a great place to visit and enjoy. We also ended up with a cinnamon BUN omg , bomb . I had a omelet qas very good .
The recent remodel looks great, and the food and service are still wonderful as well. Try George's Homemade Sausage on your next visit, you won't be disappointed! Breakfast today was delish, but the wait was a tad long, and they weren't even packed, so idk what that was about... Sporty is also a small place, not great for large groups but perfect for couples and small families. There is also a diner counter if you plan to go solo. The place was clean and the portions were right for the price, the kind of portions you have a hard time taking the last bite but not stuffed enough you have to try to stay awake after. Overall good experience.
Local but first time here. Amazing breakfast scramble and amazing coffee with great service by friendly people. Perfect experience!
Fantastic breakfast spot. Great food, great service. The homemade sausage was super tasty. Will definitely be back the next time we’re near Twain Hearte.
Don’t miss out on this excellent cozy mountain diner! Showed up for Sunday breakfast and the place was packed, sounds of forks and plates clattering and people laughing filled the air along with aroma of good food. Ordered the biscuits and gravy and then ordered the sausage. I was floored by how many options there were! I can’t remember them all but I ordered the cheddar jalapeño and it did not disappoint. I would have taken photos, but I was so caught up in enjoying myself I forgot. Check this place out!
The food was great and the value was surprising. The service was also great from Neveah however the only thing that threw off the vibe there was the amount of flies that were buzzing around. Other than that this place was great, just wish they did more about all the flies.
