    I love the casual atmosphere, the huge menu selection, and the coffee options. Steak salad, blueberry stuffed french toast, mac and cheese. Be prepared for a wait for brunch, which is not weekend-only

    This place probably harnesses the best French toast and desserts I've ever had! Great customer service and beverages!

    I found this place on Foursquare. My father and I came here for dinner -- I loved it! The fried calamari was good and the crab cake sandwich really hit the spot. Highly recommend this hole-in-the-wall

    Food is very good, there is a wide selection of salads, sandwiches and also dinner dishes. Veggie burger is great so is the steak salad.

    Eggs are perfect, I mean perfect every time. But if I wanted deep fried homefries I would have went to mcdonalds. POOR choice if you ask me. Wow @ a place like this? (Shakes head)

    We've been here a lot, but we're tired of the owners' attitude of entitlement. They're rigid and treat you like they're doing you a favor serving you. I won't pay to be treated that way.
