The service was horrid. waited over 25 minutes for nothing. The place was half empty. I've never had this problem before. I actually got up and left. El Cajon pancake house was a much better choice.

Service was slow and we were missing sides that we ordered. Took a long time to get refills and the sauce bottles were dirty and had a lot of build up on them. Food was ok nothing real special. Nothing made me want to come back again.

The biscuits and gray are huge, dry and bland. Sent them back and tried the french toast. The french toast was soggy and flat. Tried some of my daughters pancakes and they were mediocre. Then when my waitress went on break her replacement, Ashley didn't check on us once or even introduce herself. I just remembered her name because its mine too. When I went to pay the woman checking us out asked how it was and I told her. We didn't pay. I wont come back here. Dennys is better.

Went to breakfast with my mother, and we were seated, ordered drinks, and then had to "ask" to order.. Coffee's weren't refilled and again we had to "ask" for someone to give us a box. Everyone around us were treated with great customer service.... Don't understand why we were treated so poorly.. I do have one idea in mind, but I'll let that go.... Never going back again.

I understand being busy but when you have to continually ask for stuff-not organized. Waiting 30 minutes for a drink refill ? Cooks assumed I wanted biscuits and gravy vs asking. My cousin ordered an omelette with 2 extra eggs - cook made omelette and then a baby omelette on the side???? Ask questions and assumed. I don’t see us visiting again! And sadly friends are asking my thoughts-can’t give a favorable review
