I threw the pan as far as I could before I landed on my tailbone It's all good though It ended my cooking career Bonnie Lee Parker Loved my job Loved the people I worked with

The biscuit was okay, but a bit on the dry side. My dining companion ordered the avocado egg Benedict with a side of pancakes and she really enjoyed her meal. The service was good as well.

I ordered the veggie omelette with blueberry pancakes, but was disappointed that the pancakes had very few blueberries - maybe about 6 in total across 3 pancakes. When I called to express my concerns, the person who answered said that the manager was not available for the day. I'll try reaching out via email instead. Additionally, I noticed that the pancakes had a taste of corn flour, although I was unable to find the specific ingredients online.

The French toast tastes homemade and reminds me of my Mom or Grandma's cooking. This place is top-notch and I highly recommend it. The breakfast here is like old-school cooking and tastes homemade. The prices are reasonable, especially compared to other restaurants that are increasing their prices. I can't wait to visit this place again when I am in town. I would give it a 10/10 rating.
