As stated on the door, the biggest and best breakfast place in town! Very cost-effective and filling food, large portion sizes. I highly recommend trying the ham here!

I have ordered from your several times before and the food is always gone wonderful and large portions. Today I got a Denver omelette that was absolutely a scrambled egg and then on the bottom of the egg was the cheese with the green pepper and ham. Nothing was mixed together. It was just a straight scrambled egg. My portions of ham that I ordered separately were very small portions. I don't know if they got a new cook today but you can definitely see the difference.

We were waiting for a table and this customer came in saying “Table for 2? Oh, there’re 2 spaces at the counter.” And proceeds to enter immediately. My partner and I were never offered those seats and it just felt unfair that the staff would allow him to cut in line like that.Food took a while to be served because of the crowd which is understandable. The ham was definitely as good as the reviews mentioned, perfectly seasoned and soft, worth going back for. The skillets were good too with generous amount of ingredients. However, the pancakes were the worse we ever had. It literally tasted like it was made from pancake mix and water. It was flat, tasteless, slightly bitter from being overcooked. I’m glad I saved it for last otherwise I would be pretty upset about it. Even butter and maple syrup couldn’t save it. I was pretty full by then so I didnt bring it up with the waitress, we barely saw her anyway.All in all, definitely will return for the ham but would definitely not want to dine in again.

Great food and service.I just went for breakfast with a party of 11 .We had to sit at 2 different tables. Not a big thing.Parking: Parking lot is a bit small. Should have more handicap spots.

Mr. A's is old school. No frills decor, but good service, a very generous portion of delicious food. This is the best value I have seen for breakfast. Of course the ham is fantastic too.

So right off the bat, if you like ham in plentiful supply, this is your spot. Pretty busy suburban joint, good for a variety of breakfast items. What I would recommend is anything with ham. I don't know if they have a pig farm in the back but these guys load your plate with ham to the point that white flags come out and pants get unzipped. I had the omelette (with ham, obviously). It was tasty - but the egg ratio to ham was too little. Next time I will, and would recommend the skillet with scrambled eggs. The omelette was super thin, where is the scrambled eggs that my friend had seem more proportional dish . Service was OK, not great. Coffee was not bad, also not great. Fresh squeezed orange juice is lights out though, so I would definitely recommend that. I will definitely go back, just a little bit wiser this time .

The food was great! Large portions. We took home breakfast leftovers. Pricing average to other breakfast joints. Would go there again.

my mom has been eating at this restaurant since she was younger. If I’m not mistaken her old friends father owned the place. But I’ve been coming here practically since I was born (24 now) and the food has always been excellent. I’m surprised I haven’t tried any lunch items yet but their breakfast has always been amazing!!

Great place for breakfast or lunch. Had breakfast. The #4: 3 pancakes, 3 eggs, and a huge slice of their famous Ham! Now I know why their ham is famous: It's delicious, and a full steak sized piece! Good service, great food, and great,hot, fresh coffee! Very busy place, old fashioned breakfast diner atmosphere with tables, booths, and a counter. Ample parking. Very generous portions. Brought home enough for another meal! I'll be going back!Parking: It's in a long strip mall. Lots of parking spots.Kid-friendliness: A good place to take the kiddies!

I called this restaurant and asked if they serve oven roasted turkey on their turkey clubs? The lady told me yes. Well I took my husband and we ordered the food and it wasn't oven roasted it was processed turkey. Mind you this is the first time I went to this restaurant. Fries were separate,hot coco came in a kiddy cup and not hot.i know what the world is going through but if we have to fork out more money to Eat then don't skimp. Very unpleasant.
