Service was nice and spot was fun. However, breakfast was average at best. Eggs tasted like they weren't seasoned well, and the skillet didn't have as much flavor as I would have liked.

Food was bland, the Ranch Skillet in the picture clearly shows 4 sunny side up eggs in a circular shaped skillet. I ended arguing with the server because e was telling me that the skillet only comes with scrambled eggs. My friend who order Northwest Omelette got a nasty folded over egg with salmon set inside, plus bland. 3 of my friends ordered Bloody Mary and they taste like watered down tomato juice with vodka flavor. Eww. Don't waste your money here!!!

Very disappointed after ordering from this establishment many times this has happened over and over hoping it would not happen again with the missing side orders to our entrées. They need to figure it out a better system of checking the delivery orders to ensure everything is included in the bag. Missing toast, missing biscuits, missing Extras is not OK when you’re paying for it .

Hmmm to my surprise ? ? ☺️ o will return. But nothing I'm dieing to get too.
Parking: It can be hard at times to find parking. But we got parking at the front door. It does get crowded and busy. You could park across the street at the bank and pay.

Above average for diner food, and the service has always been quality for us.
A fun change of pace (or price point) when you don’t feel like going all out, or you want a large amount of variety for the family.
We don’t go often, but it’s always been satisfying and meeting or exceeding expectations of a diner.

This restaurant is the swirling vortex of comfort food in its best homestyle glory. We discovered and enjoy this restaurant exclusively through Doordash, so we cannot comment on the dine-in experience. The food that is shuttled across the bridge to arrive at our door proves that the nostalgic plates of my dreams are found here alive and well.
There is obvious labor put into prep and execution, which is especially impressive in a current food landscape where other, much "fancier" restaurants have cut corners by trying to convince diners that commercially prepared, frozen and deflated potato chunks can pass as "breakfast potatoes" if simply tossed in extra spices--shame on them! But at GAD, you see the hand in every cut of breakfast potato and fresh mixed vegetable side, every dice of onion in the comforting butter chicken, every gentle squeeze of meatballs nestled in spaghetti.
Are the cuts of meat in the prime rib dinner and corned beef with cabbage a little fatty? Yes, we've gotten some pretty large swaths of fat in multiple dishes on different occasions. And yet somehow we are willing to forgive, because portions are generous even discounting the fat. Every plate we've tried from here elicits some distinct sense of delight, and there are extra unexpected touches not specified in the menu that speak to the care that is put into the food. I cannot think of a comparable restaurant in this price range that delivers quite the same experience. Factoring in the fairness of their pricing in an increasingly expensive sector, we've found our go-to family meal delivery place and are happy to support this restaurant.

It really really upsets me that you continue to give me hashbrowns when I ask for country potatoes. It literally said "cp" and I still get hashbrowns. Also, your hollandaise is way too thick. I don't want to give a bad rating because I've had good food and service as well. This is 3 times now that you've given the wrong side.
