My parents were in town this weekend and my grandmother insisted we have Ronnie's for breakfast (it's near their house). The place was hoppin' for a Sunday morning at 10, and we had to wait 10 or so minutes for our table for seven. \n\nThe place is independently owned, and reminded me of Mike and Ronda's The Place, with a little more flair. Still, I felt as if I was in a hole in the wall in some small hickville. \n\nThe menu items all looked tasty (or I was just really hungry). Pretty much your average country breakfast dive fare - think steak and eggs, corned beef and hash, skillets, omelets, and pancakes. I wanted a mix of random foods and ended up with a half order of biscuits and gravy, 2 eggs, fruit, and a slice of ham. The food was decent, nothing to write home about. The gravy was served piping hot (always a plus) and was very good. The ham was a little rubbery, the eggs were average, and the fruit was some sad pineapple from a can mixed with overripe cantaloupe and a few red grapes. My mother ordered a pancake on the side of her Florentine omelet (which was good), and it was huge. We passed it around the table and still could not finish it. It was probably one of the better items I tasted, as well - light and fluffy, lots of butter, with just a little crisp on the edges, perfect with a touch of syrup. \n\nAnyhow, the service was alright. Our server lost our ticket so she ended up putting in our large order from memory, which resulted in one missed dish and a slew of wrong sides. She was apologetic and fixed everything pronto, though.\n\nFor a casual Sunday breakfast with the fam, it wasn't too bad. Will I drive the 20 miles from my house to eat here? Not likely.
