Had several dishes to try with family! Burger with the best sweet potato fries, tri-tip tacos with a nice bean dip and chips, chicken w/waffle, brunch burrito, and my favorite warm pretzel anywhere! All shared, all tasty!
This place amazes me that it’s in business. Awful vibe, odd seating arrangements, old tables, run down, dark, dreary. And the Food matches—the only thing good was the Sweet Potato Fries. Shrimp Tacos with 3 small, undercooked shrimp (see photos) for $16…that’s pretty bad. Poor server running across the entire place from front patio to bar to back seating. Back Patio has old, warped picnic tables, very uncomfortable seating. And right beside the small parking lot.
The Cinnamon Toast Crunch pancakes were very delicious. I devoured the whole thing. The service was good for the most part. The atmosphere was a bit too loud for my liking. But acceptable for a bar. Except the main disappointment for the meal. Was my uncle and my mom’s. Classic breakfast was a huge let down. Everything was undercooked and not very good.
