I ordered a carne asada kn Uber Eats at this place and this would be the second time they did not include salsa with the food. The best part of mexican food is the salsa how do you keep forgetting it. Absolutely unacceptable for it to happen twice.

Door dash messed up my location but the people at once upon a grill made me the same order without charge. So nice and great food. Very understanding.

I have heard a lot of good things about this place but my steak and eggs breakfast was not good. Meat was very seasoned , way too much to the point where it was not tasty. I left half of it. I'll be back to try other dishes just because many people have said good things about this place and they can't be that wrong, can they? The staff was friendly .

Excellent lunch. Salami sandwich was really good and loaded with salami. Potato sad was too sweet for me. Omelets are great. Will have to go back.

Halfway through my matzo ball soup, I saw a hair floating near the surface. I went to pull it out but as I kept pulling, a clump of hair was revealed, not just the one hair. When I called in, they gave me the option of getting a new soup or taking a credit. I wanted a refund, but they claimed that “the system wouldn’t let them.” Neither option works for me - I certainly don’t want more of the soup and I don’t see myself going back there after this experience.

Been going there weekly for years. Always good. Plenty of choices. New owner has made a few cosmetic changes... food and service good as ever.

This is a walk-up counter, seat yourself place that claims to have the best breakfast. Unfortunately, it falls short of best... unless it is like the world's best coffee like in the movie "Elf". The restaurant is tied to other "Once Upon" like cafe and bagel, and even the Mean Wiener. There really isn't much service. The man behind the counter did talk and point, but it was pretty self service beyond that. Get your own drink, get your own flatware. Once I sat down alone, I had to get back up a couple times to refill my drink. I always fret about leaving food at the table and as soon as I go to refill, someone takes my plate I haven't finished. That didn't happen, but eating alone in a place like this made it a chance. My food came out hot and all at the same time. I got the ham and cheese omelette with a sesame bagel. I added a side of hash browns. There was entirely too much food for me to eat. The omelette was light and fluffy. But that is all, it fell flat on flavor. Even the ham was less than impressive. The hash browns were good and cooked to the right point before serving. The sesame bagel was surprising lacking in sesame seeds. It had some but it looked like someone wiped the seeds off before sending it to the table. Ambiance is sparse. It had more advertisements than artwork.

Menu is very overwhelming and food is ok. I ordered avocado toast which I felt was pricey and tasted very bad.
