“ It had been awhile since I'd been to Times Past Inn, but sure glad my friend and I decided to have breakfast there. The refreshed restaurant looks beautiful. My omelet was delicious! Actually, best one I've had in awhile. The waitress was friendly and kept our coffee cups full. Prices were right too! I (we'll) be back soon. Thank you TPI ”
“ Great service and really enjoy their breakfasts! Fruit cups/bowls have a nice variety and always fresh. They offer pecans and blueberries in the buttermilk pancakes. Eggs, skillets, waffles are also good options! We enjoy the outdoor patio which is dog-friendly! ”
“ Go to breakfast spot for decades. Great service and plenty of breakfast options. Food and coffee is fresh/tastes great. Family friendly. ”
“ Great service and food! Had breakfast and would highly recommend! Clean and easy parking. ”
“ This is a good breakfast place to dine with your family for the price. They have the choice whether to sit in the restaurant or by the bar. They separate the two, and I was almost confused at first since they have two doors to the restaurant, one leads to the bar and the other to the restaurant. I have a big appetite, so for me with the #2 I felt like it was not enough food for me. Our waitress was very kind and brought over anything we needed or asked for. I still enjoyed my meal even though it wasn't the best breakfast food, and I just wish I had ordered something with more food. For the price, I think it's worth coming as other breakfast places can get a little pricey. It just depends what you want: spend more money for great food or save some money for not as great food. For me, I'm the type to save money. ”
