“I want to share my family's experience at Big Biscuit Olathe on Tuesday, 3/19/24.My dad has Alzheimer's, and we recently moved him into full time care in Olathe. It's been an adjustment.My sister was in town from Colorado, and we decided to check Dad out for a few hours for brunch. We never know how public experiences will go. Sometimes Dad responds well. Others he gets agitated or overwhelmed. Sometimes servers and other patrons don't know quite how to respond to him. We all just kind of wanted, for an hour or so, to pretend that everything was normal, that we were just another family going out for a meal.This is where Matt comes in. Matt was our server, and he literally made our entire day. I may just be getting old, but Matt looked about 17. He was thin as a rail. He had glasses and a mullet. I won't lie, when he first walked up, I kinda steeled myself. Sometimes younger folk don't have the life experience to deal with older folk. Particularly when the older folk tell you the same joke over and over again or get confused by your questions. But I needn't have worried.Matt started out by introducing himself and making friendly banter. He quickly picked up on the fact that we aren't the type of family to stand too firmly on strict propriety, and seemed to let his hair down a little bit more.Now, my mom typically orders for my dad, as he can get overwhelmed by the options. So, most servers just sort of ignore Dad and talk directly to Mom. Not Matt. He started jokingly asking my dad directly what he wanted, if he was okay, and to "blink twice" if he needed to be rescued. Dad's sense of humor is very intact and laughter has always been a coping mechanism for us. It worked beautifully.Throughout the meal, Matt was delightfully and teasingly irreverent, but never inappropriately so. It's three days later, and I'm still grinning at the memory.Thank you so much, Matt! You made that outing something we'll talk about for a long time. We needed that badly.“
“First of all this place is amazing! Cute place, very clean, and I love the decor. Our waitress Elizabeth is amazing! Could not have asked for better service. Everyone was very polite and courteous. Even the bathroom was spotless! The Farmhouse breakfast tacos are soooooo tasty! I DEFINITELY will be back and recommend this place 100%.“
“Fantastic little place. Had the chicken fried chicken and got an extra egg and coffee. Coffee was the best I've ever had, my 3 eggs looked more like 4 or 5, and everything was delicious. I was waiting on an oil change, so I stayed for about 2 hours, but they were super courteous and made sure my coffee stayed full. I made sure to take care of my waitress too.“
“Waffle House makes a great, basic breakfast. They are always efficient and friendly. Sometimes they could be a little cleaner, but it’s one of my favorite places for a decent, inexpensive breakfast in an atmosphere that is reminiscent of an earlier, simpler time.“
“blueberry pancakes from ginger sues are my new kryptonite...that blueberry compote was amazing!! i also paired it with the gravy scramble which was a great balance for sweet and savory....i seriously stuffed myself with that pancake though lol. service was great, he let me know his recommendations on the scramble which I always appreciate. great pricing as well!“
“Met a friend who happened to be passing through town. What better place to meet for conversation and a fantastic breakfast. Quiet, relaxing atmosphere, plenty of good coffee, and if you can’t find a breakfast you like, you’re way too picky or have very poor taste. Breakfast options are massive. Plenty of menu items to eat healthy. A wide variety of side options; my favorite are the buttered grits…..just like my grandma used to make. And did I mention the coffee is bottomless and good?“
