Warning: they add a credit card service fee!

Excellent breakfast restaurant! I have eaten here for years and never a complaint. Today I had the eggs Benedict with homemade hollandaise sauce. Delicious. Service is good and prices are good. They are very popular and can be crowded. Be warned! They do add a credit card fee of about 3% (that's a guess. I'm not good at math.).

Had a late breakfast and am very happy we chose this place.
Leticia was a prompt server and Diego was friendly and kept our coffees full!
The food is great and they have dog friendly seating outside.

CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS BEFORE PAYING!
Food was mediocre, service during the meal was adequate, but that’s where it stopped!
After receiving our bill, which was correct we put down our credit card. When we got the slip to add tip, they had charged our card for $10 more than our bill. Upon asking the waitress she said she charged us for 2 extra coffees “on Accident” what happened is after printing our original bill and before running our card she added 2 extra coffees hoping we wouldn’t notice a $10 increase before adding tip. And then to top it off she wouldn’t refund our card, and kept changing the story as to why she couldn’t. In the end she grabbed cash out of the cash register instead of fixing the bill.
If you choose to eat here make sure you check your receipts and make sure you’re actually paying what you owe and not more!!!

Will definitely never go back again!!

Service is super slow and rude. Understand they are busy but could have had better service. Coffee was watery. Waiting on a pancake for 30 minutes now.

Tasteless food, poorly cooked. This was our favorite restaurant 3 years ago, but they have changed management and the quality of the food has suffered from it. I had a poor experience there about one year ago, but I decided to give them another chance. I am not going back.

THE GRAVY TASTES LIKE THROW UP!!!! It was absolutely terrible, my husband took one bite and then I did as well and almost threw up in my mouth. I had to give my husband my hashbrowns so he wouldn't go hungry. Wait staff never checked in on us, I got my chair slammed into my by other customers walking it was so cramped.

So mixed review here. Been a couple of times and have enjoyed the food, service and overall experience. Most recent experience was as usual however was somewhat surprised when we received the bill. $55 (not including tip) for 3 pancakes, 3 eggs, side of bacon, hashbrowns and coffee for my wife. Also, coffee was charged by the cup ($4.50 per). Ouch. Know costs have gone up but seemed a bit rich.
