I started eating at the Farmington location years ago then moved to the east side and was happy to find new locations out here. I have dined off and on at the Crooks restaurant . Today we decided to dine at this location. Unfortunately, our experience was less than pleasing. Note the table service was great. One Star because the food service (cook/chef) was awful. The omelet was very dry,only a small amount of cheese. The sausage,ham and bacon were good inside but the peppers and onions were RAW. It looked like they hit the grill where they received a blessing of oil and then were instantly stuffed into the omelette. Oh, we were told “post covid” they only serve one slice of toast. Isn’t it surprising how covid has changed the number of toast slices served for breakfast. Then we were told that it is up to the owner of each particular recipe to decide if they want to serve one or two slices of bread. Not specialty bread, just plain old standard restaurant white bread. I could maybe see if it was a fancy oversized sourdough or Texas toast or…… but it isn’t. Call me old school but I still think two slices. LOL Now their potatoes at recipe are delicious. The cheap generic ketchup not so much. We typically do not slather our food with ketchup but tried to resurrect the omelet and the ketchup just ruined whatever it touched. Now let’s talk about the biscuits and gravy. The gravy is mediocre with a significant amount of pepper. We typically like pepper and this was a little too much. The biscuits were cold and so dry when pick up to put butter on them they broke apart into small pieces having to eat them with a fork. I was really hungry and am not one to send food back to be remade. We did notify the staff and were informed that all of the biscuits were this dry and would come to the table the same so no reason to have had it remade. Throughout the years the standard serving has been two slices of toast. My first thought when the food arrived was a piece had to have fallen off the plate… Nope,only get one slice. Our bill was over $30.00, not including tip for an omelette($15.00),an order of biscuits and gravy, and two eggs à la cart. This “new”one slice of toast policy and poorly prepared food…..

Doordashed this and got the Korean Bahn Mi, Corned Beef Hash and chocolate chip pancakes. The banh mi was amazing!!! Everything was fine but I’m sure if I went in person it would have been a lot better but I am super satisfied overall and the prices are decent.

Suggest to management: reduce the size of you breakfast menu by 50%. Then focus on quality results of those you keep on the menu. As of now you have a large selection with mediocre to poor results.
Great place for brunch!! Super friendly staff, huge menu, delicious food, and don't forget the cocktails!!

We had a really great brunch. The service was great, and the food was amazing. We’ve never been here before you have to give it a chance, a huge menu with all kinds of great things to eat! We had the Country, chicken and biscuits with gravy and an egg on top unbelievable! We also had the Toast, avocado, poached, eggs, and smoked salmon, cucumbers, and onions! It was amazing!

The hot blackberry biscuits were absolutely delicious! My husband and I shared the California Roll Omelette (came with potatoes and toast). It was so good! They used real crab meat instead of imitation crab.

This was a great experience! In being from Rochester you always assume different brunch competition such as Brunch House, Meeting House, or others more on the Main Street. This option by far exceeded expectations! Great breakfast and was a fun time catching up on a double date.
Very ignorant employees!
