The portions of the egg sandwich are substantial. While the sausage isn't my favorite, overall the meal is quite good.

After my wife and I joined a long line and browsed the menu, we discovered—after several minutes of waiting at the counter—that they were out of nearly everything we wanted. In fact, they were missing about half of the menu items.

Ultimately, we had to go elsewhere, which is disappointing since the food comes highly recommended.
