Had the big easy with sausage and a sweet tea. I’ll tell you that was a good size breakfast sandwich. Also the biscuit was fall apart good, but structured enough to cut and eat in bite size portions. Absolutely would recommend for breakfast!

Ordered Buckster’s Hash Bowl but they were out of corned beef and substituted with prime rib. I personally ordered without peppers and added an over easy egg. It was cooked well, including the egg. Potatoes seem deep fried which made them hot and crispy. Although I didn’t care for the overpowering cheese, the acidity of the grilled tomatoes were a delightful contrast to the richness of the meat. Server was shy and mousy but did fine. Yes there are price changes written on the menu but I’ll forgive that since this seems to be a one off place without the high tech luxury of chains that have the money to reprint at a whim. I felt it was a good value, fresh and delicious. I also really like the casual industrial look. I would definitely return and recommend it.

11/29/25 Checked today, online, to see if Grub updated prices (after my 21 Oct review below). They have not. This is unfortunate. It speaks😆 volumes about them either not checking reviews or not caring. Either way, no plan to revisit to see if in store menu updated; doubt it. Original review-Meal is always delicious here. And staff is usually great. I was disappointed on 21 Oct when I noticed the charge of 10.99 for "Slammer", yet menu price was 9.99. When I bought it to cashier's attention, she mentioned that price of eggs was higher, therefore, so were their prices. I told her that the bottom line is patrons should pay price shown and that menu price change is an easy fix. She spoke with, l guess a manager in the kitchen, and refunded the difference. I noticed after that she wrote 10.99, for Slammer, on one menu, but all others still had the 9.99 price. This needs to be corrected on all menus for all prices that have increased. This is good business practice.

Went here for the first time on a Sunday morning. It was a great visit. Food was delicious and the rooftop was nice. Overall would definitely come back for sure and would definitely recommend this place. Definitely a long line but worth the wait.

Visited this spot for Sunday brunch around 11 AM and was pleasantly surprised. There was a short line when we arrived, but it moved quickly. Ordering is done at the counter, and you can grab a seat either indoors or outside while you wait. We kicked things off with a coffee and a smoothie—both were excellent and super refreshing. For food, we went with the breakfast platter, which included over-medium eggs, maple bacon, and crispy breakfast potatoes. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The only miss was the bagel, which came out a little too hard—probably over-toasted. We also tried the breakfast sandwich on a biscuit, and it was fantastic—huge portion and really tasty. Overall, great vibes and great food. Looking forward to coming back soon!
