The Who is the main thing and the servers were great. My food came hot and It was cooked just right. I’m glad I came back. This has become my new favorite first watch and Manager Kyle is the best!
I’m not usually a fan of breakfast at chains like this, but my burrito was pretty good and the omelette was okay too. The staff were really friendly, and since I went on a Thursday morning, there was no wait. I ordered a “fresh” juice, but it tasted artificial and way too sweet.
Everything was good but the bacon is the best! Friendly service, a bit slow but very well managed. It gets busy at opening time already. Definitely recommended
Stopped in for a relaxed solo lunch around 11:30 on a Saturday, and this place totally hit the mark. Got seated right away and the service was great. I barely had time to take my second sip of coffee before my food showed up — even the server laughed at how fast it came out! Not a bad thing at all, just surprisingly quick. I ordered the seasonal hash — tasty, generous portion, and I even had to pack up the leftovers. A cozy spot that makes solo lunches feel easy and enjoyable.
Great place for breakfast / brunch. We ate here 2 days in a row while at duke this week. Little pricey but service was excellent. Tables in main dining area were close and a little cafeteria style. Pumpkin donut bite were awesome. Only thing we didnt care for was chickichanga.

Fresh, made-to-order breakfast and brunch served with a smile every morning.
