    Order the Crab Cake Benedict and thank me later. Seriously, they will your taste buds wanting more (but your belly will be full because of the generous plate.)

    Great food! Large portions for a great price. Service is ok, but can knock on that cuz their food makes up for it plus they're always super busy. They just need people to serve water a little faster

    Everyone's favorite breakfast place! The waits are always long here on the weekends, but it's worth it. Call ahead and dress for the weather so you can sit outside if necessary.

    Cookies and creme would be a good choice if you want something sweet 💖 or if you want something more salty you can order hash brown skillet

    Breakfast is fantastic. Large portions. You can get most everything from the regular menu on the mini-menu if you want a smaller portion.

    Like the chicken fried steak. A little bland though. The Parisienne French toast is phenomenal. Would come back often but always busy.
