French toast is not sliced bread but rather French bread that has a bit of cinnamon and sugar. Most is bread and flavorless. Hash was slightly burnt. Waffle and pancake was ok. My bill was over 80$ because they dont allow you to substitute meat for hash in the meals so i had to order everything seperately (so too bad vegetarians). Servers looked annoyed. I always tip...20%at least but the lack of attention and the bare minumum service i didnt this time and dont plan on dropping by anytime soon. Also their "menu" on google maps is probably 5 years or older since their prices are way higher. I dont mind paying cuz of inflation but at least update your info so people arent misinformed. One of the servers with brownish hair was nice and sweet but unfortunately we didnt get her as a server. I got the black hair server. She needs a day off or two. Handed them $100 with bill and they took it and laid it on the table...waited an extra 10 minutes before i figured out you pay up in front of the cafe. Wouldve been nice to be told that. Again, paid $80 for enough food for 3 people. insanity.

I didn't go here for several years after I had to send what was supposed to be over medium eggs back 3 times just to have the owner tell me not every cook goes by the same standards for cooking eggs. Then why ask how you want them if the cook is just going to cook them how they want. At that point I just asked that they take my plate back and take that meal off the bill. I was recently talked into going again( against my better judgement). And again after ordering over medium eggs AND specifically stating I want my whites solid and yolks runny, they still came with runny, snotty, egg whites. They tried to hide the under cooked eggs with the hashbrowns and when I asked that they be fixed the waitress very rudely said" do you even know what over medium means" yeah just like I asked for. They did fix them but I don't go out to eat to be treated so badly just for asking for what I ordered! There is no way I will ever be talked into going back to this place!

My first time and surprised at how large the restaurant is on the inside. I had previously pictured a smaller location based on the tables outside and limited frontage.
We ate outside and the noise level was fine with the limited traffic on the street. Service was prompt and the food portions more than adequate. It was pleasing to hear that anything on the menu is available at all times. Next time looking for breakfast, we will keep this place in mind.

We descended upon MJs right as they were opening with a massive 30 person party. They took us with no hesitation and served up our orders efficiently. Their portions are HUGE and they're kid-friendly.

Horrible very rude service, from the beginning the host was very rude, we wanted table for 2 and my husband told them we are celebrating an especial occasion, the host was very rude told us you have only 90 minutes to seat, gave us a horrible broken table, when we complained that the table is broken she said it is what it’s is. There were another table available with a better location but she refused to give it to us. And she refused the acknowledge the problem with table and setting. DON’T come here to celebrate any special occasion!!!!
