We waited 2 hours and had a feeling we weren't going to move up on the wait list when we were quoted 45 minutes - an hour. I stayed on the waitlist to see how long it would take and we were still number 7 6 hours later... not sure what happened but would have been good to know so we wouldn't waste hours of our time.

Tempo is a busy breakfast place in the The Gold Coast. The food is always hot and delicious. The skillets are enough for two meals if you add 2 more eggs at home. The Waffles and Pancakes are delightful. Even the lowly grilled cheese is pretty terrific. Only drawback is that it can get pretty loud inside.
This was a great surprise! GF options! Healthy portions! Delicious and fresh! Highly recommend!

This is a very casual brunch place. It's often crowded so that explains its popularity. They have tons of seating. This place reminds you of an old school American diner. The servers are very friendly. They always have great recommendations and are extremely sweet. We tried the avocado toast, spinach omelette, hot tea and latte. All were great with huge portion sizes and a typical American diner style preparation. I'll highly recommend this place, especially for a casual brunch.

The place has been in existence for 40 years. The food is something you can find elsewhere without having to wait so long. You feel like you have minutes to eat because everyone is rushing to serve you and make sure you leave as soon as possible, and waiting makes no sense because of what you will find there. For me it's an "ihop". I ate in other places where the atmosphere was incredible, the food was more restaurant than fast food and I ate quietly without rushing and without having to wait 45 minutes. That place is nearby is @sony
