Aunt Sally's

Good breakfast

Aunt Sally's is our favorite local breakfast joint. I've been coming here since I was a young girl - my grandpa would bring me for early Sunday breakfast. It's true that the decor hasn't changed much in 30 years but its a cute, clean, simple local breakfast joint. The food and service are always good; the food is incredibly affordable and plentiful. I go there with my husband and kids now and we all love it. It's family-owned and Denny, the owner, always has a smile and a kind word for everyone. He also never forgets to slip some candy to my kids at the end of the meal even if they haven't quite achieved the 'clean plate club'. Good cheap food, locally owned small business, friendly service that goes the extra mile. No pretention, just a great breakfast.

While waiting in a long line in Cal City a gentleman explained he,  "got there quite early,  put his name on the list and headed to Aunt Sally's,  it is the best breakfast around."  This may be true.  That would be a shame.

As other Yelpers have noted,  short hours and crowded.  6am to 3pm.  We strolled in at 11,  the place was busy.  Decorated in the ducks and bunnies theme of faux country circa nineteen eighty six,  I wedged my way into a booth that was shockingly tight.  I am by no means a large guy and my knees were smashed into the table leg.  Tables are a bit crowded,  maybe because it is so busy,  this way they can sneak a few more desperate eaters in before they close at 3.

We ordered coffee,  the special,  (country fried steak w/biscuits and gravy,  eggs and pancakes),  and two eggs with biscuits and gravy.  (we like our biscuits).   The eggs were very small mediums I would guess,  they also did not stand tall like a very fresh egg should do.  The gravy was pasty,  the steak had a pungent flavor,  hash browns were slimy and colorless,  the pancakes were odd.  It took a second or too to place the odd flavor.  The syrup was some bullshit nasty ass flavored syrup,  absolutely inedible.  I think hazelnut was the flavor they were searching for,  but they were only able to achieve assnut.

The coffee cup was chipped,  it was also dark brown,  I find dark brown cups unappetizing,  but thats me.

I was again reminded,  never take advice from a Hoosier about where to eat in your territory.  Damn Hoosiers!

If you want to be cramped,  served really low quality grub check out Aunt Sally's.
