Staff kept the place very clean. Tables kept clean. Breakfast was good. Staff was very helpful with an issue that I had. Within walking distance to the Ark Encounter. One thing for me that was a negative, is that they do not take cash, only credit or debit cards . That may not be an issue with most, but wanted to mention so others are informed. Also they do charge for parking. $7.00 a day.
