I've patronized this place a few times ... Mostly underwhelming, but not necessarily bad.
First, I've seen shorter lines at rock concerts. And I've experienced roomier communal seating in Chinatown, Manhattan -- where space is truly at a premium. I understand that real estate isn't cheap, but I tend to draw the line at hearing nearby conversations in quasiphonic stereo along with hearing every belch and smelling multiple colognes (and occasional BO) at once. Apparently, I'm in the minority when it comes to someone's big booty brushing me as she approaches her seat, because this joint rates very highly, and I'm certain that booty brushes are frequent here.
If you don't have the Yelp app on your phone and you like places like Snooze, stop everything and download it. Snooze has a check-in option that you can use while you're en route. Our wait, once we arrived, was minimal. Snooze features indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor seating is comfortably cool, but more crowded than a beehive or a tin of sardines. Outdoors is roomier, but hot as hades in Houston during the summer.
Service here is good. Though our server seemed lost in the crowd at times, he did his best. The kitchen folks are also good at what they do. Everything has always been hot and fresh. And correct.
Food here is excellent. The bacon is some of the best I've ever experienced. When I order eggs over-hard, that's what I get. The French Toast and pancakes are also pulled off nicely.
My bottom line is the crowd. Ownership really should consider some additional real estate so that folks could spread out a little. I understand the bottom line would be affected, and it's for that same reason that I'm more likely to eat breakfast elsewhere.
