Nick Ellis and Joseph Christianson own the restaurant, which will serve comfort-focused breakfast and lunch dishes. The menu will include club sandwiches, specialty burgers, biscuits with gravy, chicken and waffles, and pancake tacos filled with eggs and toppings.
“Every detail has been thoughtfully redone with love and excitement,” the owners said on their Facebook business page. “This space means so much to our family, and we can’t wait to welcome the community.”
The couple previously owned Roo Roo’s Diner in Largo, from 2020 to 2024, where they taught disabled adults work-life skills.
