  Fantastic breakfast food. I had to give up on my go to spot on weekends as I was getting tired of the same foods again and again. I decided to try out Howell's. It's a small establishment with a open kitchen. It has that dive bar feel which can be nice. Everything is fairly clean and kept in order. Don't be surprised if you have lipstick on your glass. The clientele likes Mary Kay.
  
  Everything I have ordered so far has been phenomenal. With the guy cooking to order it all comes out hot and exactly as you wanted it. I even tried peach pancakes, not sure what to expect and they were delicious. I generally never even order pancakes. I am glad I stopped in.

  Great food and stellar service.  Would have never expected that to look at the place on the outside.  Have had several entrees including salads.  One of the open faced sandwiches was not my fav, with too much bread and no gravy or bouillon but the steak was much better than expected.  Loved the bar tender.

  Looking for a new place for grub this morning, I spotted the OPEN sign in the front window of what I had always assumed was just a neighborhood bar. I am always open to new experienced so thought I'd pop in and check it out.
  
  Wow, talk about a blast from the past. I believe at one time in this little joint's illustrious history it was a soda fountain and ice cream shop. The bar still has the cast iron bar stools and formica top. It was kind of nice to step back into a time when the sugar on the table comes in one of those glass containers and cream comes in a little pitcher instead of the packets so often seen in most restaurants.
  
  The place is divided into what I thought was two areas, but really three. The front half has a strictly non-smoking restaurant feel to it, while the back half has more of a 'loungy' feel. No windows so a little darker, televisions going and a full on bar. The restrooms were clean though kind of out of the way toward the back entrance (I didn't even know they had a back entrance).
  
  The place offers a different special every evening, ranging from meatloaf to an 8 oz sirloin on Friday nights. The menu was actually quite sizable, filled with all kinds of 'home-made' treats. I went with the Spanish omelette and country potatoes. The omelette was wonderful and hot, though the potatoes were on the cold side. They also forgot the toast so for the potatoes and toast I deducted a star.
  
  The waitress was very attentive and brought coffee everytime my cup was half empty. I truly appreciate waitstaff that keeps the cup filled!
  
  I'm sure I'll be back to try the Friday night steak special.
