I remember coming to this space when it was Eggsperience, I miss that. I took my mom to do some shopping at Von Maur and we decided to stop here for brunch after. We went on a Thursday, the place was mostly empty. Our waitress was nice, however, we were struggling to choose the first few times she checked on us. Eventually she just left us for 15 minutes, I think she was tired of checking on us and us not being ready, but by that point we were ready and hungry with no sight of her. We kept our eyes on the clock, perused the menu of a neighboring Thai joint, and once we passed that threshold we were grabbing our coats to leave and order elsewhere when she finally reappeared to take our order. My mom ordered french toast and it was fine. I got a chai latte that came unmixed and mostly milk. I was a barista for quite sometime and I would never have served a chai like that, concentrate on the bottom and milk on top layered unmixed. I wish I got a picture of that, but it was terrible and a waste of $. I ordered the david kaplan, it was so nasty and bland. The eggs were green straight out of Dr. Suess, I wish I took a photo. I had to drown it in pepper and salt. Even worse, my side of pancakes had a black hair on them. It was not mine or my mom's, she's grey and I'm light brown. By this point, I was grossed out, dissatisfied and ready to leave, so I asked for new pancakes to go. The waitress didn't offer to bring the manager over or comp us, just brought me new plain pancakes sans powder sugar when they were supposed to have sugar 🤷♀️. My mom tried to use the women's restroom before we left and it was closed to be cleaned, despite me using it 5 minutes before where it was perfectly clean. So at this point I'm grossed out and my mom has to use the restroom so we're leaving very annoyed. We bring the check upfront and the manager is there, he hears us complaining and doesn't step in, and we pay more than $20 a person for hairy bland food and no bathrooms. Sorry for the long review, I don't want to harm any hardworking businesses, but personally I'll never go there again. Now checking reviews, I see other people had hairy food and bugs in food 😩🤮🤢

This place is a complete joke, the food is very below average, and by the looks of it it’s never busy, I wonder why? I drove by Jaspers cafe and there parking lot was full, as well as walker brothers there was a line out the door. So I ask the question again, why not this place. One thing I do know is that that place likes to erase the date of expiration from there bottles, not to mention I have seen cockroaches in the dinning room as well. The owner does not care about his customers, he only cares about his money because he didn’t even want to throw away the old expired bottle instead he erases the date, for what to save some extra bucks, what a shame coming from a owner. So be careful people I don’t want you to get sick, cause who knows if they are following the rules of sanitation and everything is at the right temperature in the back. So if I could have your help to spread the word out for people to be cautious and think twice about deciding to go and eat at this place.

I'm sure this review will get lost in a sea of 5-stars, but here goes... When i first walked in, the decor was pretty neat. Planes on the walls and seemed like a clean place, but as soon as we were sat down, it took a turn for the worst. The seating arrangement in this place is TERRIBLE. The amount of tables they cram into the middle of the dining area is ridiculous. Unless you want to be, almost literally, shoulder to shoulder with the other cranky guests, you need to wait extra for a booth. Additionally the tables are so small that you couldn't possibly fit more than 2 normal sized people at one. After that nightmare, i decided to treat myself to a nutella expresso latte. What i instead received was a 5 dollar cup of hot milk with a slight nutella drizzle on top, in a cup that,while pretty, was not practical and caused me to spill it all over. Yes probably user error, but still annoying. The food came out pretty quickly. I ordered the crepes, and they were some of the most bland tasting crepes i have had. Crepes don't have a strong flavor to begin with, but these things just tasted like straight up, unseasoned, egg. And my lady friend said her waffle was too thick and bready. Attempting to choke down the bland crepe, i went for the water that was left at the table and was met with the slight taste of mildew in my water, not dangerous or anything of course, but still unpleasant. All in all, an over 50$ tab (for two people) for food that wouldve been acceptable at half that price. And a seating arrangement plucked from the bowels of hell itself.

Nice place but; No hand pump for Alcohol Gel at the front counter. Yes, I'm an adult, and know how to wash my hands, but these days... would really prefer that restaurants offered the pump. Ordered the Corned Beef hash, pretty good. Very airy place. The parking garage is around the corner, and they open early. This insomniac wakes up early and hungry, I may be back.

I ordered the chicken and waffles and it took about 10 minutes to be served at my table. This is fairly quick compared to other diner I have been to. The waffle was huge and fluffy with the delicious maple syrup. The chicken was thick and juicy with a crispy and satisfying crunch. This was only 13 bucks which is very worth it for the amazing food and service.

First, I was seated at a dirty table with dirty dishes after other guests, and then they simply forgot about my existence. So I sat with these dishes. I sat for 10 minutes trying to catch the waiter's eye, but was ignored. So I just left. I think they didn't even notice it
Perfect place for breakfast and lunch.
