Roxanne S.December 14, 2013awesome place to get breakfast in lower town. it gets busy on the weekends, so make sure to get here early. order the A Damn Good Egg Sandwich - super good but pretty messy!
Christy FlemingAugust 11, 2013Very popular place. Be prepared to wait. But worth the wait. The breakfasts were very good and had to pick up some of the baked goods for home. Love that they have the Lowertown twin-key!
Handpays are awesome. Actually everything is tasty and nice here. I love chicken salad sandwiches. It can be crowded normally but it’s also possible to order for pickup.
Scott KuehlApril 8, 2016One of the Best Egg Sandwhiches I have had, and I have had plenty! Others in my party really liked the Crab Cakes Benedict, and the lettuce salad was ver good and fresh too.
Cassie DiemertOctober 1, 2015Excellent food, super staff, cozy atmosphere! The food is fresh and made from top notch ingredients. Sandwich runs $10-12, worth every penny! Definitely will be back.
Ryan NessOctober 17, 2014The biscuits and gravy are a unique take on the dish and the flavor is amazing. I can't speak to the rest of the food, never tried any! The atmosphere is outstanding.
blinkin _smSeptember 14, 2013Biscuits and gravy were fantastic. My wife had the breakfast hot dish of the day and really liked it as well. And best part, homemade twikeys to go!
Amazing hash brown. Great coffee, reportedly fantastic breakfast sandwich. Fantastic hand pies. Ridiculous lines/wait time - but it's popular for a reason.- Mo DysonAugust 27, 2017Loved the coffee, bananas foster French toast, and biscuits & gravy. Friendly staff and ample seating, both in and outdoors.
Carolyn BenchJuly 1, 2013Go for outside seating; it's in the shade! Bananas Foster French Toast is "like a banana split without the chocolate." Chicken club is yummy too.
Tom WilsonAugust 16, 2018This quaint breakfast nook is the perfect spot to begin your day. Try the Pig’s Eye. A winner!
Joel HerzAugust 4, 2013Good coffee, a bit expensive but you can see all of the food/bakery being made in house. Great addition to Lowetown!
Heavy TableJuly 15, 2014Bacon-studded twinkies? Sold. As for your real breakfast, hash plus a perfectly cooked poached egg and may just be your ticket. Read more
Kelly McKnightOctober 14, 2016The toast with homemade jam was great! And they have a variety of options so you're bound to like something.
Mary K WeinhagenOctober 30, 2013Fantastic food, friendly staff, and easy to find right on NW corner of 7th and Wacouta!
- Erik LaingNovember 8, 2015What more do you need to know.. The menu days right there: " Damn Good Breakfast Sandwich "
Get the Biscuits & Gravy and ask to go heavy on the gravy. It is the best dish here. Also, Alaine is a smokin' babe.- Michael MayMarch 12, 2016Juevos Rancheros Benedict is delicious. Chocolate hazelnut milk bun is amazing!
K *August 24, 2013Fantastic cakes and cupcakes! We had a special order for an event and our hopes were exceeded!
Delicious food, great menu selections, excellent service and a wonderful space. We'll be back!!
Jackie YeagerJune 23, 2013Really friendly staff! Something for everyone (even the kids!). Bacon butter... Need I say more?
Highly recommend the hash brown omelet. And be sure to add the egg on top!
KatieMay 5, 2014Everything as delicious just be prepared to wait at least an hour for a table on Sundays!
Marybeth SJune 13, 2014Have heard a lot of wonderful things about this restaurant, but I was a bit disappointed. The avocado and croutons on my garden salad were the only fresh items; everything else looked and tasted old.
Tony ChenAugust 23, 2013Amazing biscuits, great coffee, and a surprisingly delicious rendition of the ho ho.
Yuni GrahamSeptember 4, 2017The food was pretty good but the service was terrible. Waited for an hr when there were clearly tables open. Our waitress was absentminded as well. Biscuits and gravy were good.
Katie FriedrichApril 27, 2014Ask for Lara on Sundays. She's amazing :) highly recommend this fantastic establishment!
Simple breakfast ... Pigs eye. The banana foster is excellent.
The service and food are excellent. Save room for dessert!
