I just want to be clear. This is my favorite restaurant in the valley. The owner is an incredible person, actually cares about his employees. I don't know him, but I saw him on the news during Covid and he forever ingrained to me as one of his customers. They have the best breakfast anywhere here, aside from their amazing barbecue. Best pancakes on the planet...but
Two things, the first is the peppered bacon that makes that breakfast so special, it does not translate to a BLT. I got a BLT yesterday, it came with a piece of lettuce and two scraggly pieces of tomato, jampacked with bacon so thick you can't bite through it. My middle name is bacon, and this is the first time in my life I've ever complained about bacon, but it must be said. I am suggesting that you up the vegetables, and get thinner bacon for the BLTs. Maybe not even peppered bacon, like hickory bacon. Anyway, this is my favorite place in the world, I'm not beating on you, I'm trying to help make the customer experience better. I did not leave yesterday happy. Which was the first time that has ever happened. And the way I think about these things is this. If I had that experience and thought, I am not alone. Others have felt the same way probably and just never spoke up. Or maybe they have I haven't gone through every review.
The other reason I'm not happy is their to go containers. Styrofoam is over. That crap causes cancer, especially when you put hot food in it. It melts. I would gladly pay a quarter more for my meal to have a corrugated cardboard container. It's such a great restaurant that cares so much about their employees, I think it's time to throw a little care back toward the people you're giving food to. I was gonna bring my wife the beef rib lunch special yesterday, but I'm not getting food in that crap. Styrofoam likely causes cancer and DNA damage to our bodies, please don't be part of that.
I will still continue to eat lunch here at least once a month for the rest of my life. Just probably not the BLT.
