    This was by far the most reasonable, tasty breakfast spot! They served huge positions, had friendly staff, and overall the food was excellent. My partner got the sunrise burger and loved it and I had the pancake breakfast which was a ton of food for 1 person. Highly recommend!

    Horrible. Don't waste your time. Eggs in omelette tasted horrible. Hash browns horrible. Both omelette prepared wrong. They offered to remake, but we didn't bother. Just paid and left.

    DELICIOUS!
    I had the waffle and bacon with two eggs.
    I really enjoyed this meal.
    In fact, I've thought about this meal several times since dining here and look forward to going back for breakfast again very soon.
    Restaurant is very down home. Comfort food.
    Priced right.
    Go here!

    Like another reviewer said, it reminds you of some of the breakfast places in Florida.  It was busy on a Sunday. We got waffles, French toast, eggs and bacon sausage. Large portions. Food was good. Nothing mindblowing but we didn't expect it to be.  But when you go to a little place that does blow your mind and taste buds, it's hard not to keep that hope alive that you found a hidden gem.  A party of 24, yes 24, came in and their only 2 waitresses were hung up and couldn't get to the rest of us. Manager stepped in but overall service was not great but I contribute this the very large party that walked in.  Atmosphere was just a unassuming old restaurant. Not bad, but not great!  Prices were typical 9-$10 each. Portions were generous.

    I would love to love this place since my boyfriend's parents are regulars here but I can't because I felt like the food was sub-par. The service however was awesome and they pretty much know his parents on a first name basis and they take care of them.

    But let's get back to the food...
    I ordered the eggs benedict (comes with 2) and garnished with slice of pineapple, 2 slices of pears, and a side of hash browns. My favorite breakfast item are eggs. Hands down, I just love eggs. I haven't had eggs benedict in awhile so figure I would order it. When it arrived, I love the feeling of just slicing right into the middle of my eggs and the yolk just running out. Unfortunately, I sliced right in and nothing happened. The yolk was nearly fully cooked. Totally disappointed. Okay, let's try the 2nd egg... Slice... Also disappointed. Poached eggs should be runny and to overcook the egg when it's the main highlight of an eggs benedict is just not what I was looking for...
