The vegetables in my omelet weren't even slightly cooked and the eggs were burnt? Not sure how that is even possible. Hashbrowns looked as if they had been sitting for a long time, didn't try. The whole place smelled of dirty mop water.
Don’t let the name fool you. Definitely using the name to get customers. First off it was way hot inside and doors open letting more hot stale air inside along with lots and lots of flys. More flys than customers for sure which you had to battle from beginning of your stop until you leave. Food was not good, had an omelet and half of the ingredients were not even fully cooked; and not sure what the hash browns were, but definitely not what I prefer; seemed extremely overcooked...read full review
the food was not that great..I went for breakfast with my best friend and she wasn't impressed either..the hash browns were spicy the pancakes had powdered sugar on them and the omelet wasn't very fluffy
