Description

Despite offering good food at reasonable prices, this restaurant struggles with service and staffing issues. Once celebrated for a popular breakfast buffet, it has since discontinued it and now closes early. Current visitors report long waits, understaffed service, and inconsistent food quality, with meals sometimes tasting off due to cross-cooking. Many patrons express frustration over receiving burnt coffee and dry chicken wings, as well as delays in receiving checks. Overall, the combination of mediocre food and unresponsive service leaves diners unimpressed, leading to disappointment and a reluctance to return.

The food was served cold, and the speck was burnt. The English muffins for the eggs Benedict were stale.

The food is good, and the prices are reasonable, but the service leaves something to be desired. I need to update my review because they had the best breakfast buffet, but they've since discontinued it, and they now close early in the afternoon. If only they would bring back the breakfast buffet; it was always crowded and well-loved.

I visited this restaurant last weekend and had a terrible experience. I waited half an hour to be seated, only to find that more than half of the tables were open and dirty. The service was extremely slow, and the food was disappointingly mediocre. I ordered the corned beef hash, and it tasted more like salmon than corned beef. I definitely won’t be returning.

What is in your wallet?

Definitely noticeable that they just don’t have enough staff. Being the only “open” sit down place on a Monday means a good chunk of people are going to come and they are just not equipped for it. There’s a line and there are empty tables inside but it’s clearly because one waiter can only do so much. Food was not good. Eggs and toast can’t really mess up but the beef hash tasted like fish the Hash browns also tasted like fish. It was like everything that was cooked was cooked in a pan that was used for fish. Not very pleasant after having a nice party the night before….. took forever to get the check which again understaffed but still . And then took forever to get the check. Took a long time to get asked if we needed anything else like that extra coffee and water that you need during your meal.
