Got a little nervous when we walked in and no one was eating. But the breakfast was fantastic! My omelette was hot and not dried out.
8.5/10 Waffle Tower 6.75/10 Maria's Unicorn Waffle I recommend adding strawberries to the waffle tower. I wouldnt buy Maria's Unicorn Waffle it was way too much in not so good for you so I couldn't finish it, it felt kinda dry as well.
Won't be coming again..sorry :( Ordered 2 dishes - eggs benedict and basic pancakes. Eggs benedict tasted alright, and they customized upon asking. However, extra charges for customization were not communicated. Pancakes were dry, doughy, somewhat edible in the middle. Upon letting the server know about dryness, we were asked to talk to manager at check out, who said we should have raised it before finishing 50% of the pancakes (there were 3 slices to begin with)- well we DID communicate to the server!! Anyways, not a good experience, and unsure why we even bothered bringing it to their notice :) Other than that, Good location, good atmosphere overall.
Seated quickly on a very busy Sunday around 1ish. No parking in lot. It’s mostly à la carte meaning everything is an additional price. $9 milkshakes and $14 plain pancakes. $2 extra for lettuce and tomatoes, 2$ extra for sweet potato fries. $94 for everything pictured No Appetizers were ordered. 30 min wait for the food. It was real busy so I get it. Substituted ham for bacon on a burger and it still came with ham. No offer of fixing. Just a “do you still want it”. Lol and my actual order never came and the rest of my table finished everything. My side of Oreo pancakes were okay. Not too much flavor. The forgotten sandwich I ordered would have been better. I asked to just remove it from bill and we left. Parking lot was empty as soon as we left. I would say to come here when it’s a slow day. Doesn’t seem like the cook has much help back there and the slow wait affects the waiters service.
All the dishes we ordered were absolutely delicious—we loved every bite! My children enjoyed the food as well. The restaurant was clean and spacious. Our server was friendly, attentive, and very pleasant. There was a nice variety of vegetarian options, which was a big plus. They also have their own parking area, which made things very convenient. It’s a great place to enjoy breakfast, lunch or brunch with your family or friends. Highly recommended! Thank you.
