Came in at 11:50, 3 tables of people all waiting for food or drinks, sat down, waited 10 minutes and nobody appeared. No servers apparently. Left. - Avoid.

DWs cafe has new ownership and they have done it right. Great new bar with all best locally brewed IPA's on tap, the food is excellent with a variety of choices, great atmosphere with numerous tvs to watch the game and super friendly staff. My friends and I will certainly be back again soon!

Best thing about my Sunday breakfast was the English muffin. Veggie omelet was tasty but way overcooked - eggs were burnt and it looked like it sat under a heat lamp for too long. The sliced tomatoes I paid an extra $2 for were pale, unripe and had a crunchy rubber texture.Waitress was friendly enough but service was sloooow even though the place was less than 25% full.This place was fantastic when it was located on Victoria Dr. It was decent last time I visited about 18 months ago at the new location on Johnson Dr. At best it is decidedly subpar as of Dec 2023.I like supporting local businesses, but it's gonna be a hard sell to get me back into this place.

I had the pleasure of being served by Kanyon, and I must say it was an outstanding experience. Kanyon's service was not just efficient, but it came with a warm and welcoming smile that instantly brightened my day. Their attentiveness and willingness to go the extra mile to ensure my dining experience was exceptional were truly remarkable.Kanyon's knowledge of the menu and their ability to provide recommendations made the meal even more enjoyable. Their timing was impeccable, and I never had to wait for anything. It's clear that Kanyon takes pride in their work, and it shows in the quality of service they provide.I left the restaurant with a full stomach, a big smile, and a deep appreciation for Kanyon's dedication to making my dining experience memorable. Kudos to Kanyon for their outstanding service. I look forward to returning and being served by them again!

What a find! We had breakfast here and everything was fantastic. The standouts were the biscuits and gravy and the Tri-Tip Chili Rellano omelette. Also, the service was outstanding. They were very attentive and quick to top off coffee and water.

I order the Early Riser Special and it was delicious the hash browns were cook to perfection. I had no time to take a picture of the food because it was so delicious. The pancake was delicious as well. The service was great! The server was busy but managed her time to assist everyone in the restaurant. A hidden gem, I did know I needed to discover.

Given this place a chance three times recently and each time it's gotten worse! The portion I got for $16 was a child's portion my 5 year old granddaughter could've finished it. They served my toast completely burnt and tried to hide it with extra butter. Won't be going back to this placeI'd rather eat at IHOP then here

I had my card out to pay. The waitress came to pick it up and asked me if the total was ok with me. I said yes. But I still wanted to see the bill as it was $45 dollars for a modest breakfast. I don't know what I was charged for. I ordered the pancake combo. My poached eggs were not cooked medium as requested and my pancakes were cold. My friend had two eggs, two strips bacon and an english muffin, and then a small bowl of grits and coffee with some whipped cream on top. I had water. Was I charged for the two little salsas? We were early before the place filled up yet had to wait for our food we received after all werw seated. I used to love the food when they were at the Victoria location. It would also be nice if the o'brien potatoes had onions and bell pepper that weren't little black charred bits because the potatoes are tasty and crispy. Anywat, the wait staff and busboys are friendly and cheerfulParking: There was a lot of trash in the parking lot and dirty smudgy glass front doors the last two times I was there in the last month. Most restaurants and fast food establishments have an employee take a trash grabber and trash bag, go outside and clean up the outside walkway and parking lot everyday.
