Had the Italian sausage patty, eggs and hash browns. The portions are big. Food was delicious! And the service was great too. Thanks Cece!

When this restaurant is firing on all cylinders, it easily scores a 4.5-5/5. However, as of late, the service has been terrible. I've been to this location a total of seven times so far, and more than half of those visits have included bad service, which has only gotten worse. My visit today was no exception. My server today had zero enthusiasm whatsoever. He was one of the most inattentive servers I've ever had. He only checked on me once during my entire visit. Meanwhile, he was constantly checking on the table behind me.... read more

Every time we come here, they never have anything off of the season menu. No matter what time of day it is or how recent the new menu item was announced, they never have it. It's hit or miss with the waiters here as well. Some are great, some act like they hate their job and never bother to check on you. There are better options in the area.

I went here on 7/21/25, principally because it was close to my ultimate destination. My dinner was supposed to come with a salad. The waiter told me that the restaurant didn't have lettuce for any salad. That was a first for me. Perhaps the truck was hijacked. I was offered some subpar soup as an alternative. I asked for cole slaw instead and was told that I would have to use a choice of a side to receive it. When I told the waiter that doing so was ridiculous since the restaurant didn't have lettuce and I didn't want ... read more

Awful experience. We came here to celebrate with a brunch and We had to wait 45mins for the young guy server Julio to come talk to us for the first time. He was too focused on a big party he was helping. Other tables got seated after us and got served their drinks and orders before we even got to order since they were being served by another server. Then we had to wait another 30mins to get our food. In all this time Julio did not come check in with us even once. Eventually when the food came it was the wrong order but we ha... read more

Sitting here waiting for our food for the last, maybe 45 minutes worst service ever took him 30 minutes to get our drinks decided to order our drinks and food at the same time still have not received our food..... I don't know if it's because they were short staffed or because he was so concentrated on the big party he was helping.

Have not been here since they opened years ago. Yes they have things you do not normally get in a restaurant like pot roast or meat loaf but I only had a simple breakfast with hash browns. The potatoes were terrible - so dry, unflavorful, and parts were hard as rocks and reminded me of chewing on leather. Could not eat them. I told the waitress and it did not phase her one bit. Did not offer to give me something else or take them off the bill. My breakfast was way over priced at $25.92. Not going back. Either get a b... read more
