I only order takeout every so often as I like the prices for their breakfast items and never had any issues. Not sure if the Board of Health gives them a pass as their cleanliness andhygiene standards are clearly not up to par but like I said it is a gritty establishment on culture so germaphobes please note.Their clientele seems to be mainly seniors, and lower middle class trash .

French toast I ordered came with no apple topping which I paid extra for, and to say the amount of food they gave me was sparse would be an understatement. Not only that but the potatoes were bland andthe bacon was shriveled to a dry crisp. At least the service I received was nice and attentive. I was so disappointed with thefood though, this place looks like it has rave reviews, what in the world happened with my order?

The kitchen staff didn?t seem hygienically conscious or clean. None wore hair nets, main cook coughing repeatedly, unmasked.Arguing with wait staff, no care of customer presence! I will NOT be back.

Called to ask a simple question and the woman who answered was so rude! Acted like it was a huge inconvenience to do her job andhung up before we could even finish. I will say once we got there the service was quick, friendly and attentive. The foodhowever was so bland and sparse I couldn 't believe the reviews were so good! The pancakes were very good but beyond thateverything from the eggs to the bacon, sausage, and home fries that were nothing but soggy chunks of potatoes, were allincredibly dull, dry, and either over cooked or under cooked. 4 stars for the waitress and atmosphere, 2 stars for the food.
