    Just the basics... no joke.  This place lives up to it's name.  I would imagine this is what's served at the farmer's table for breakfast.  Thick sausage... nice bacon... awesome pancakes... and most of all, great service!  I love it when I can walk into a local joint and get great service!

    Not to mention it's fantastically cheap... weekend menu's are dig-change-outta the sofa cheap.

    Definitely worth a visit if you're in this area!

    Eat here if you're looking for a cheap, quick breakfast. Get in, sit, eat and get out. Nothing special just your average family restaurant. Morning breakfast line ups are ridiculous but move relatively quick.

    I think i'm being generous with 3 stars only because it's a cheap breakfast and they have fast service. The food however is another story...I've only ever had breakfast there but it is usually cold when you get it and the potatos and bacon are gross. It is my last choice for breakfast in the K-W area.

    If you ask most people in the tri cities what resides at Fairway and Manitou, most people would say Country Boy.  Thanks to their catchy song that plays on tv, most people are already familiar with this restaurant.  I came here on a Sunday around 11 am which would usually guarantee a long wait, however we only waited about 5 minutes.  the restaurant was packed, there are so many rooms, that it is really hard to gauge how big the actual place is.  
    We were seated in a booth, but this booth was in the middle so there was no support on either side.  This became quite annoying, because i could literally feel every move the diner behind me made.  
    For the food we all ordered the standard breakfast plate for $5.95.  The eggs were great, the bacon was hot and not crisp, but the shining star of the whole meal was the potatoes.  They were served piping hot, and they were seasoned so well.  I would go back anytime just for them.
    I really wanted give Country Boy a five, but the shaky booth a mediocre service brought it down a star.  I cannot wait to go back.

    It was the Spring Holiday and one cold Friday morning my lovely girlfriend and I searched for a nice family restaurant to have breakfast at. The Yelp reviews pointed at Country Boy and of course, like 99% of the time, Yelp is my compass when it comes to places to eat. Well, HUGE compass interference this time...
    The place looks like a family restaurant. It is cozy and warm. Perfect for some eggs and tea, we said. How wrong we were! We ordered the regular breakfast, which comes with 2 eggs and a misleading enumeration of meats. We thought we would get bacon and ham and some sausage (which we thought is the only part of the breakfast where you get to choose: regular or Polish). The meal came COLD, no bacon, nor ham, just the sausage (which was terrible). If I wanted cold breakfast I could have stayed at home and ate some coldcuts... Everybody is praising their potatoes, but cold potatoes, no matter how well prepared they are at 8am, they taste awful at 11. The service was also poor, the waitress was always in a rush, even though the restaurant was not even close to being full.
    I will keep trying to find a good breakfast place, but I'm never ever coming here again.

    probably one of the best breakfast restaurants i've ever eaten at. the service is really quick and efficient. they have a cool waiting area with a television and the seating area is huge.

    the food is amazing. they really have the art of breakfast mastered and i always enjoy coming here to eat.

    keep up the good work.
