This was a wonderful breakfast spot for a first date! I got the strawberries and whipped cream short stack. The pancakes almost tasted like they had sourdough starter in them. It was a good flavor and I would go back for more but the bacon was precooked. I really didn't care for it. When you work in restaurants you just know when it's cold and rubbery.

Terrible experience. Upon entering the teenage hostess was unfriendly and told us it would be a 25-30 minute wait after rolling her eyes when we asked. We felt like she didn’t even want us to eat there. We were sat in less than 20 minutes and our server was very sweet but it took over 45 minutes to receive the most disappointing a mediocre brunch I’ve had in a long time. Their “famous” apple “pancake” was really just a partially overcooked Dutch baby with cooked apples on top. $14 for a ham an eggs plate that’s a single pathetic slice of ham and a small egg. Eggs Benedict looked watery and sad. Again, nice server but terrible experience otherwise and will likely not return.

food looks delicious. our waitress was very sweet. however the hostess was very rude. looked angry that we asked for a booth and then proceeded to throw the menus at the table. she needs an attitude check and should not be working around the general public if she feels the need to act like that at her job. but everything else was perfect!!

The service receives a one star because of the conflict in policy concerning when to seat your party. I don’t mind the policy of seating your whole party when everyone arrives on the weekends but just keep it consistent ( I was just at the location 3 weeks prior and this wasn’t the case). Probably will not be coming back again because I felt like I was getting the third degree about my entire party being present.

My wife and I went there for breakfast for the first time. The food was excellent and the servings were large. We will be returning soon. If you want a good breakfast,this is the place.

Not exactly the best service but I have a older family that is very needy . The food was cooked to perfection as usual . The atmosphere is good but seems dry . I know for sure it’s a place for older folks to eat in the morning so I still gave it 4 stars . My overall experience was 5 stars . My family goes a few times a year & we go with 15+ every time . We’ll be back for sure .

Good very good and portions are substantial. Orange juice good but know that it had massive amounts of pulp in it so don’t order if that’s not your taste. Bacon slices are large and very crisp (almost would be better if a bit less crisp). Service Ok. Never had a bad server but they do seem busy and like the staff numbers are down.

Only negative is getting out of the lot and turning left as it tends to back up and the light does not change quickly.
