The house-made challah bread French toast is simply amazing. I get it every time, even though I can never finish it in one sitting, lol.

This place has amazing soups. All if them. The food is consistently good. The portions are huge. The desserts are overwhelmingly big and delicious. Prices a little high, but not prohibitive.

Turkey dinner is as delicious as it is large. Waitress gave each of our boys a cookie the size of a man's hand for good behavior!

Good food. A little on the expensive side but the portions are huge. Overall a good stop if you are in the area.

Given the diverse menu and generous portion sizes, there should be something for every type of eater here. High chairs are available for young children. Parking in the back can get crowded on Sundays.

The dessert counter is an incredible vortex of sugar infused deliciousness that will give you diabetes if you look at it.

French toast, obviously. Warning: it's huge! Get an order, share with a friend (with bacon) and you're set.

The pizza burger is great but to be honest. The reason to come here are the desserts. Save room or take it to. So! Worth it.

When the waitress tells you the pancakes are "the best pancakes," she's lying. GET THE FRENCH TOAST. You will be super disappointed when your friend's breakfast is better than your. #lessonlearned

Try the Nova Scotia Eggs Benedict. This place is so good but they don't allow substitutions for sides...
Ethan KearnsJanuary 6, 2016
Very popular for breakfast! Not the best I've had but it will satisify a craving for a big breakfast.

Fast service & amazing food to cure a hangover. Nova Scotia eggs Benedict 👌

Sitting at the counter with the HUGE pastries and pies will make you think you're in the mid-west. Try the Florentine Benedict. Good home fries.

Great food but it’s a little pricey. Big portions!

French toast is thick and dense. Go for it if you like challah bread, otherwise steer clear.
Matthew BrooksAugust 12, 2012
The French toast is great. Bacon is cooked to perfection. Great place

French toast and pancakes may be good, but are ruined by the 'maple flavored' corn syrup.

Consistent quality, reliable, family friendly, overpriced but big portions. Breakfast & dinner are uninspired but good. Bakery items are pedestrian.

Best coffee ever. Still haven't made it off the breakfast menu, it's so good!
