This place is great! I am so happy we got around to trying it. I had a smothered breakfast burrito, and my husband had the French toast. Both were delicious. Despite the steady stream of customers, the food came quickly and was nice and hot. They kept the coffee topped off, and there's also a self-serve station.

I ordered breakfast on DoorDash. Pancakes, donuts and a drink. I received the pancakes. Had to reorder the donuts and drink.

Pancakes were dry. And the donuts were not fresh. The chocolate frosting tasted like a cleaning product. I hope I don’t get sick even though I spit it out and threw it away.

I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

Go on the street to Doug’s Diner, they are a million times better.

Fabulous food and great service!!
