Food: I ordered the Egg Everything Loaded Toast, which the menu said comes with a morning greens salad. The salad itself was simple but fresh and tasty. Unfortunately, the toast was bland and lacked any real flavor. The menu described it as having “roasted corn,” but as you can see from my photo, the corn was not roasted at all — just plain and underwhelming. My son ordered the breakfast burrito, which came half filled with pulled pork and half with chorizo. The pulled pork side was fine, but when he got to the chorizo end, it was just one big clump of meat that he had to spit out because it was so unappetizing. Service: The service was equally disappointing. Our server only came by three times: once to drop off drinks, once to take our order, and once to deliver the food. No one checked in to see how our meals were, and we didn’t get any refills on water or coffee. After waiting about 20 minutes after we finished eating, I had to go to the hostess stand myself just to ask for our check, which took another 5 minutes because no one was at the hostess stand. To top it off, when I looked at my receipt afterward, I noticed I was charged an extra $0.75 for the salad — which was supposed to be included — plus an automatic 5% kitchen gratuity that wasn’t mentioned beforehand. Overall, this was a really disappointing experience, and I wouldn’t recommend this place based on my visit. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously, because right now it does not live up to its good reviews. Price per person: $10–20 Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3

The service was good initially, but once our meals arrived, it felt like the staff disappeared. We had to get their attention for water refills and the check, and they didn't check in with us at all, which was a bit strange. However, they were more than willing to assist when we called them over.

The biscuits and gravy were underwhelming, featuring tough biscuits and very little gravy, and the unexpected upsell for eggs was frustrating. The jelly-filled donuts were also a letdown, as they were lacking in filling and too dense. Although the service was decent, the surprise 5% fee for the kitchen staff was unappealing. The restaurant isn’t ideal for larger groups, and the overall quality leaves much to be desired. I won’t be coming back.
