I rarely leave negative reviews, mostly positive as I believe credit is due when deserved. Today was different. I treated myself to breakfast which is rare. Craving coffee and eggs. Seated at a one of the bar tables, the bartender (owner's son) mentioned he'd be right with me. It's Sunday morning, it's busy, I get it. I said no worries! Just happy to be acknowledged. It all went south from there. Young waitress approached my table and asked if she could get me anything, yes please, coffee and water. She asked if I was ready to order, yes please, eggs and an English muffin. She returned with my coffee and water. That was the last I'd see of her until my meal was completed. My empty coffee cup sat on the edge of my table during my entire meal hoping to be refreshed. It never happened. She had passed my table several times without approaching to see if I needed anything. No eye contact, yet lots of chitchat time with coworkers in the corner of the bar talking about other employee's personal problems for all within earshot to hear. I had to flag her down for a refill. She was so unobservant that she didn't notice my creamer dish was empty and walked off after bringing me my 2nd cup after my meal was finished... did I mention this? I had to stop her and ask for creamer. (The little plastic cups) This was the last I saw of her this morning. (Bartender handed me my bill) She never came back to check on my coffee, did not to ask if i needed anything. The one time I craved eggs and coffee. I think a 20% tip was overly generous, however the food was good, the food runner was very kind, I'm hopeful they split tips. My server would not be deserving. Disappointed, I'll prepare my own breakfast going forward. ? me thinks a different career may be a suitable suggestion.

I got the chicken fried steak, the steak and the rest of the fix’ns were really good, but the gravy was crap. Tasted like thick flour paste.

Happening Friday night vibe on Sunday morning. Loved the cool styled cowboy decor. Corn beef hash while plentiful was nothing like I would have expected- large chunks of corned beef layered up on hash browns, thought it was supposed to be all chopped up. My friends weren’t too thrilled with this chicken fried steak either. Service was really good and the upbeat energy of the place was good, I’d just stick with the basics maybe bacon and eggs or a burger.
