They need more staff in the morning, I’m sitting here looking at the kitchen and all the food ready to go plates stacked on top of each other to be sent to the tables. Literally locking eyes at this man sitting across from me at another table as we shrug our shoulders waiting for our food while the waitress is walking past the food over and over again that needs to go out. I’m certain my food is cold by now. First time here and was disappointed because I heard such great things about this place. Hopefully they can get more help. The service 0/10

Great breakfast joint, busy on weekend mornings. They always seem like they're a little short-staffed. Asking for anything takes a tad bit longer. Delicious boozy breakfast drinks

Good place for diner food. It’s a bit cheaper than comparable places. Wait is usually very short, but they do get busy. We’ve only had our order lost once in the two years we’ve been going. But one time a waitress did ask “what kind of Asian” our kid was, on the way to the bathroom with our kid. So that was sort of weird.

Food still pretty good, but the service is pathetic. The wait staff now needs to be reminded to take your order, or interrupted from eating their own meals (not kidding)

Good luck getting a refill. Wait staff is pretty inattentive. Been there twice recently and the same story both times. Good service = better tips. = more willingness to come back

Parking: The place was pretty packed so limited parking they do have two parking lots

Our first time here for Sunday brunch. They were very busy. We wanted a good classic breakfast. We had the eggs Benedict with sausage gravy and the veggie omelet. It was all good, including the crispy hash browns. Good value. Friendly staff.

Went in a sat morning. Waited for 25 minutes to get a menu. Was told they were short staffed. When we asked if we could place our order, the waitperson literally turned around and walked away.

So did we…

I'm not a karaoke person. The people here are super friendly. The service was spectacular beyond expectations. Looking for a pub where you feel welcome like family. Very clean, great drinks and atmosphere. I haven't tried the cafe side though.

If you like a good dive bar, you will love this place! Outdoor seating for the bar is a plus. They are never stingy with their pour and the food is always as expected. I have never been on the restaurant side.
