"Ted’s Bulletin in Ballston, the first new location since Steve Salis acquired the chain, has retooled its menu to include lighter options like salads, an avocado hummus appetizer, and a cauliflower steak entree. While retaining its comfort food staples, such as Sloppy Joe, biscuits and gravy, and milkshakes, the restaurant aims to attract repeat customers by shifting towards a French brasserie style and enhancing its bar program. A new happy hour, featuring $3 draft beers, $5 small plates, $5 glasses of wine, and $7 classic cocktails, is offered from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday." - Gabe Hiatt

I wish I remembered our server’s name. However, she was amazing and on top of everything. First, we made a reservation for 1 PM but we were going to be late due to traffic. We decided to call and let them know, and they were able to move our time to 1:30. Upon arrival at 1:15 PM, we were seated immediately. We will be back again soon and will figure out her name so we can have her again.

We arrived at 10:00 PM. The service was okay, but definitely needs improvement. I ordered the steak and eggs, and the first thing I noticed was that all the food was cold—how is that possible if it was just made? The steak was cold and incredibly tough; I couldn’t even chew it. Even though I had med rare . The bacon was also cold, and my friend’s French toast came out cold too. I honestly don’t understand how food that’s supposedly made fresh comes out like it’s been sitting around. It was disappointing and honestly a waste of money. I’m so tired of going to restaurants that serve bare minimum quality and expect premium prices. Even the lemon drop cocktail was a letdown—tiny and overwhelmingly sour, like straight lemon. For the price, I could’ve had a way better experience somewhere else. Never again will I come here.

The place is a good all day breakfast and has a good variety of fish, crab cakes and other meat varieties. The ambience is nice for an dinner or lunch. The bar tender also makes some great drinks. The dishes with egg Benedict and deviled eggs are great. Should have a deviled eggs but only downside is they lack some ham.

Several years ago, I visited the Capitol Hill location. Kind of a sketchy area (in my opinion). So this time I opted for the Ballston location. Much better area. Restaurant was super busy but we had reservations in advance so we didn't have to wait. Service was not good in all honesty. Waitress never came to the table much and we constantly had to remind her to bring drinks we ordered but never got or refills on coffee, etc. Highlight = TED'S TARTS!!! breakfast overall is average or like any other breakfast place. Food is good but I came for the tarts!!

We enjoyed our brunch at Ted's Bulletin today. Our server was excellent, the mimosas were perfectly made, and the food not only came out fast and hot, but it also tasted delicious. Make a reservation and bring your loved ones here. You won't regret it!

Walk-in without reservation on a Thursday evening and seated quickly. Service was attentive and we got our food quickly. Huge portions, tasty steak frites and chicken Parm.

As always, we enjoy the warm atmosphere of Ted's Bulletin. Edwin Q, our pleasant server, took great care of us. When we discovered our table was too close to the chilly air of the front door and too close to a constantly ringing phone by the hostess stand, Edwin cheerfully moved us to a more comfortable table. Our chili bowl, grilled cheese, and tomato soup were so delicious. We always observe how busy this restaurant is, and yet the staff seems to love their jobs here. Thanks, as always, Ted's Bulletin, for taking good care of your customers. See you soon.

The cinnamon roll is down right awful! It's a red flag when you get a steak knife with your roll! I got in right as they opened and waited an hour for this atrocity. It was crusty, dry and hard. Although the middle did have some ooey gooey overall the texture was wild! Flavor wise this was insanely overpowered by cinnamon. Like aggressive, red hot, in your face put a whole container of ground cinnamon on your tongue levels! The icing was fine but nothing special, definitely couldn't save the roll. Aside from that I tried the s'mores tart and that was fine at best. Stingy with the filling but the flavor was solid. Definitely more of a pastry then a proper poptart but it was fine. I still wouldn't recommend it but if you think it sounds good give it a shot, it's only $4 and won't take an hour of your life 👀

I haven't tried this place yet. My God daughter spoke highly about this place due to us not being meat eaters.

Have been wanting to try Ted's bulletin forever! Finally got the chance to. Came by with my boyfriend on a Sunday around noon and only had to wait like 5 minutes for a table to free up. The ambiance is like upscale diner vibes - the seating was interesting. There was a giant pillar dividing a big table into a small cozy two-seater and a larger 4 seater on the other end. I got the cinnamon toast crunch latte hot and it was SO good!! Not too sweet and had actual cereal pieces in it. Boyfriend got a Chinese jade green tea (which was just a mug of hot water and a tea bag so maybe not as worth it). We shared the seasonal raspberry rose Ted's tart and I have to say I had low expectations for it but I actually loved it. It was buttery and kinda flaky almost? But the raspberry was delicious. Not too much filling inside it, but it didn't need a ton bc it was already so flavorful. I ordered the huevos rancheros as my entree and my bf got the Norwegian Benedict. We both loved our dishes. Mine had three big tostadas loaded with beans, egg, cheese, salsa, and chorizo pieces. And his had a delicious salad side, with two Benedicts made with a ton of smoked salmon (like they gave so much, super worth it) and Ted's tots as the base. We definitely finished our plates and were perfectly satiated - it was a good amount of food but not so much that we would need to take home leftovers. When the server came by with the check after clearing our plates we asked to pay with inKind and it was super easy and quick to do that. Pro tip: You get 20% cashback if you pay with the app! I'll definitely be returning to try more brunch dishes. Namely the Turkish eggs, and biscuits and gravy!

Service was decent, our server seemed a bit "tired of this shit" But service was adequate. The mushroom gyro was SPICY! As in couldn't eat the thing spicy. Server replaced it without the spicy sauce. The mushroom bolognese was ok. The sauce was more sweet than savory. The short rib pot roast portion was tiny. It looked like one of those fancy-ass restaurant portion. My son was still very hungry after polishing that off. It was good and would only order again if the portion was a bigger. My Ruben was mediocre. A little oily and not very flavorful and not a lot of meat. It was better the last time I ordered it. I also ordered a grapefruit ranch water- it was pretty weak. Despite everything, what really annoyed me was the whipped ricotta app. The ricotta portion was generous, flavor was decent, but for the portion size they only give you three slices of toast! I shoulda taken a picture, but how do you share this much ricotta with only three pieces of toast as a sharing appetizer. There was six of us. I asked for more toast, they brought me two more pieces and charged me $2 for them. Ridiculous. It's toast/bread not caviar or a ribeye I'd go again, but would definitely not ordering anything we ordered last night.

Birthday Meetup after a Squid Games competition. PARKING: Plenty of garage parking in the Ballston Quarter. Parking with Parkbetter was pretty inexpensive as in I spent about $3 for 3 hours. Even if you overshoot how much time you need, it will prorate the amount automatically when you leave the garage. Just make sure to input your license plate. AMBIANCE: The restaurant was pretty noisy but we luckily were placed in the backroom where it was MUCH quieter. Also in visiting another Ted's Bulletin in DC, the decor was much nicer in this location. SERVICE: Service was exceptional. We had a very personable and attentive server. TED'S TARTS $4 S'more Brown Sugar & Cinnamon Blueberry Cheesecake The running joke is that no one at the table thought it would be pop tarts when it came out. When we think of tarts we were thinking pastries. I did get to try a small piece of the blueberry Cheesecake. It was a little sweet but good TRUFFLE MAC & CHEESE BITES $13 creamy tomato sauce, parmesan, chives These were pretty delicious. Slightly under seasoned but I would still get these again. GRILLED CORN BREAD $7 cinnamon butter, chives This was a nice surprise. I wouldn't consider it cornbread as it was much lighter and not as dense. But the cinnamon butter complemented it well. JALAPEÑO POPPER WONTON $12 cilantro lime ranch, micro cilantro I was worried these were spicy but it was fairly mild. For someone who doesn't eat spicy food, it was a safe option. While I didn't order this, it was stated that they weren't crazy about how it was filled. It was mostly bread and the middle was the filling. Made it feel a little unbalanced. BLACKENED SALMON $28 buttered grits, garlic sautéed spinach, spicy creole crab sauce This item was customized as the grits were swapped out with rice and they got the sauce on the side. I did not order this but it was stated that the salmon was really delicious, a great size and seasoned well. PANCAKE STACK OR THICK-CUT FRENCH TOAST $15 2 eggs*, hash browns add choice of meat +4 Probably the most basic of the bunch. Pretty average. FABLE MUSHROOM GYRO WRAP $18 crispy braised shiitake mushrooms, tomato, cucumber lettuce, feta cheese, harissa, tzatziki, house fries I did not get to try this. But visually it looked like a hearty gyro and it was stated that they enjoyed it. GRILLED SHRIMP TACOS $19.5 marinated shrimp, corn tortilla, shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, cilantro lime sauce, mexican street corn OVERALL: We would return. It was great service, and the food was good. Love that it serves all day breakfast and they had a good variety in the menu.

Service was great, but I don't like cold corn bread with frozen butter and burned chicken Parmesan. Food runner brought the steak frites and not only didn't know which was medium and medium rare, had no idea which guest had which and reversed it. We had no room on the table and she wasn't happy we asked her to take away a few dirty plates. Nice place. Food was disappointing.

I've always liked Ted's. This location a bit hard to get into because there's always a wait. But somehow my friends and I got in on a rainy Sunday for brunch in December book club. We got a booth in the back. Quick service, good standard brunch food. Not too much else to it.

Jacob C.

My family and I just went here for lunch, and it was not a good experience. Most of my complaint is about the service, and the food wasn't good enough to overlook it - I'd probably give the food 3 stars by itself. We arrived and were seated at a large booth with our menus. Then, we waited for someone to take our drink orders, and waited, asked for help, and waited, asked for help, and waited some more. After about 15 minutes, the third person we asked actually helped us and directed a waitress to our table to take our order. She finally brought us some water, and the first salad arrived for our daughter. Alas, no silverware, so we searched for our waitress. We couldn't find her, so asked someone else for help, and waited. This time, after waiting another 5 -10 minutes, the second person we asked (when we'd given up on the first) brought us napkins and silverware. Onto the food (once we were able to eat it): -Steak frites - fine but nothing special; much better version at Mussel Bar down the street. My daughter got the Chipotle reduction on the side, and we were glad she did, as it tasted more like Mexican black beans than anything else. -kids waffle - probably my favorite thing, especially for the very reasonable price, but again nothing special in the way of flavor, and it needed a little salt. Also, the whipped cream needed more sweetness/flavor and the maple syrup was fake. -harvest salad - my wife really liked this one. I didn't try it, but it looked appetizing -patty melt and fries - the melt was OK, but needed more thousand island (couldn't find the waitress to ask for more), and some of my caramelized onions were pretty raw; also, the bread was a little burnt in some places, imparting an unpleasant bitter flavor. Fries were good and crispy. Everything needed more seasoning. Mini chocolate pie - we shared this for dessert. Again, it was just Ok. The chocolate filling was good, but there was far too little of it, and it was not distributed throughout evenly, so some pieces had a lot, while other pieces were all whipped cream. Also, the crust was bland and very thick (1/2 inch in some places). Wouldn't order again.

The food is important but the service can make or break a dining experience. We stopped by for breakfast on Thursday morning. The food was hot and yummy and the coffee was great. Our server was the absolute best. She was seating people and serving tables. It was clear that she enjoyed her job and the work that she was doing. She was also very attentive and ensured that you had everything at the table that you could have wanted. Thank you for a great start to the morning!

When a business posts a "contact us" comment, it appears to yelpers that the business cares. I reached out a month ago and all I have heard is "we will get back with you." Removing one star for the fake concern from both the waitress and corporate. Again, great local choices for breakfast foods: Anita's, Silver Diner, IHOP, Clarendon Tatte, Good Company Donuts. Dine elsewhere.

I haven't been to Ted's Bulletin in years because I felt like I've never been very impressed by their food. I was pregnant and kept craving brunch so my husband and I went to different brunch spots almost every single weekend and I decided to try out Ted's at Ballston for the first time. I don't know if Ted's improved in quality across the board or if this location is just really good but wow, the food exceeded my expectations! Everything was done very well and our server was great too. It does get very busy on the weekends so it probably helps to have a reservation.

Dined here alone after a long day and don't regret it! The steak I ordered wasn't the best I had, but the side of bacon brussels sprouts with blue cheese was really tasty. The service was attentive and I appreciate that my server let me know that ordering the steak medium rare would ensure that it wouldn't be too rare, but it did end up being a little over done. No matter to me at the time because I was so hungry! I tried a red wine I'd never heard of before, quite enjoyed it, and it was discounted at happy hour. I would come back here at happy hour again to try their appetizers when I have company. Lovely christmas decorations made the place feel much cozier than it might have been otherwise.

The food was great! I was expecting for the loaded tots to be more loaded, though. The food took long to come out but our waiter was extremely attentive and very friendly! I just wanted to add, after being there twice and served by Francisco, that he's truly amazing!!! He pays attention to detail and makes everyone feel welcome. While my friends were having mimosas, he came to me with an alcohol free mimosas so I could also toast with my group. I appreciated that gesture.

A Must-Try Experience at Ted's Bulletin! Ted's Bulletin is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and top-tier service that made us feel right at home. The food? Incredible. Every bite was a delight, from the perfectly cooked entrees to the indulgent desserts. It's clear the chefs here put their heart into every dish. Whether you're craving comfort food or something a bit more refined, Ted's Bulletin delivers on all fronts. The ambiance was just as impressive--relaxing yet beautifully designed. The attention to detail in the décor creates a cozy, inviting atmosphere that's perfect for any occasion, whether it's a casual lunch or a special dinner. If you're looking for amazing food, exceptional service, and a setting that feels like a little slice of heaven, Ted's Bulletin is the place to be. Can't wait to return!

Got seated right away on a Sunday afternoon around 2pm. Love the retro yet airy decor. Feels open and welcoming, compared to other Ted's bulletin locations. Food per usual is good tasting but be prepared for heavy. The hash brown is in cooked in oil (not my preference) but definitely tasty. Be prepared to walk out stuffed as the portions are hearty... think upscale diner. The cappuccino was yummy . Espresso tasty. The Norway Benedict is not bread - it's hash brown mound at the bottom. The reason I took off a star was the floors and tables and booths did not seem to be too clean - remnants of grease, bits of trash, etc. also my chicken sausage was dry and I had to saw through with my knife.

Came here for lunch on a Friday. They were completely full for tables, but we found a seat at the bar. The food was okay, but somewhere that everyone could find something they liked on the menu.

Food, service, selection was fantastic; highly recommend the green goddess salad. They have what appears to be a fantastic bakery inside as well; we did not have dessert but everything looked delicious!!

This review is mainly for the service. Came here for a birthday brunch on Sunday for a party of 10. Our waitress was Veronica and she was so amazingly patient and attentive with our group. Despite our group being indecisive and all over the place her spirits were still high and her service didn't waiver. Food: I had crab cake sammy w/gluten free bread. I wouldn't try this again, the crab cake itself was very thin and all I could taste was filler. Probably my mistake for picking this at a place known for breakfast but it was what I was in the mood for. Drinks: I tried a blueberry Mule (AMAZING) and a Paloma(just ok) The floor inside was also filthy, like it hadn't been touched in days, but the bathrooms were clean. I'd try this location again based on parking and its vicinity to other things (there's a mall next door). Hey Veronica girl! We got beef since you recommended that Sammy but you're still my boo or whatever.

Let me just start off by saying Ted's Bulletin is doing everything right! We were greeted warmly with super enthusiasm and seated promptly. Our waiter /server Taha was absolutely amazing, truly exceptional, friendly service from everyone from the hostess when you entered to the tables. The restaurant is clean and organized. The food was hot and yummy, I didn't plan on eating all my food but I sure did. We spoke with the manager Cassie to let know how great Taha was and it was our first time and she was a clear representation of why her staff is doing such an amazing job. Their attitudes reflect her leadership and I will be back. The menu is pretty extensive and there are so many things to try. I loved everything I ate , the wings, deviled eggs, French toast w/ bananas & strawberries, hash brown and sausage and ...my party loved their food as well. The deviled eggs were so so good we ordered another round without bacon tho. I love this place and I'm excited to return. If you visit ask for Taha! You won't be dissatisfied

We had a reservation but we had to wait 20 min for our table. They gave our table to walking customer !!! Even I told the manager I waited 20 min for our table with reservation , he answered me they dont take reservation for weekends! But I had an comformation email. I showed him. He said nothing!!! When I ordered the grain bowl without eggs and asked substitute instead , the waitress offered me chicken, I said ok. Then I realized charged 7 dollar for small piece of chicken. When I told them the waitress didn't tell me the chicken will be extra, the manager did not accept to cancel the chicken! It is very DISOPPOINTED!

Yelp
Amazing!!!!!! We arrived at 1130 on a weekday and were asked if we had a reservation. We did not, but were seated promptly. So this may be something you want to explore... French toast-chefs kiss!!! Kids breakfast-eggs, toast etc- kid approved! Irish coffee-Delish!!!!!!! (X2!) Mimosa-good! Service-4.5 stars!!! Highly recommend stopping in or getting take out. Look forward to visiting during our next trip. I didn't find it overly loud during the morning. Additionally, there is a patio in the front.

Came in Friday afternoon to take my team to lunch, and had made reservation that morning- but after a short bit of a recall issue - were quickly seated in back with the private bar area. Very nice, and slightly quieter than the main dining area- which can get pretty loud & crowded. Everyone was happy with the options available, and orders were quickly filled. I had the Ruben, which was excellent- but I was a bit disappointed with the truffle fries. Good fries, but just a bare toss with low cost truffle salt (hint: Just get the regular fries, just as good imho.) Definitely someplace I'll be happy to return to, service & food were really good- and I liked the overall feel/atmosphere. Highly recommended! (A-)

Just to follow up I sent an email to the info@tedsbulletin site - no response. Just smoke and mirrors for bad service. The 5 star reviews for Ervin by the people with only one review after I left mine is a nice touch :) Same stars as the last review.

I ordered recently and the food was mediocre, see pic below. I didn't even eat the mac and cheese based of how it looks. They threw noodles in a cup and added cheese on top. The other food I ordered made me sick.

Food was 10/10. Tasty and filling!! Love the aesthetic on the inside. Busy but they are accommodating and quick with service! I'm OBSESSED with their chicken and waffle. I'm convinced it's the best I've ever had! Literally came back the next day to order a chicken and waffle. It's perfectly crispy and buttery. Their hot honey is a game changer.

Had dinner with a large group of friends this week. The service was really good, our waitress was super attentive. The food was ok, nothing special, but most were pretty happy with their appetizers and entrees. I got the steak fries and while the steak was cooked well and tasty, the serving size was a bit disappointing for the price. The plate was mostly french fries. If I were to go back, I'd certainly opt for another entree.

I went to Sunday mass with an older friend so I had to find a family friendly brunch. I wanted to try Ted's Bulletin because I had never been. I was originally from planning on going to the 14th street location but decided on Virginia instead to avoid any possible large crowds. We were promptly greeted by the hostess and was immediately seated. We were hungry so we placed our orders. Our waitress suggested the fried cauliflower but stated she was a fan of all of the appetizers. I ordered the Steak & Eggs, medium steak, eggs fried hard. It comes with garlic home fries but I subbed for the cheese grits. My friend ordered the Thick Cut French toast, eggs over hard, and chicken sausage but she received tenders. She didn't mind so she ate them. We also ordered two mimosas. I had the pineapple ginger while she had cranberry. Everything was delicious. I love the chimichurri that comes with the steak. I had a couple pieces of the French toast and it's arguably one of the best in the area. I'd like to say in my running top 2. This place was a great decision! I sent pictures to my friend in Mississippi. She said she wants to go here when she comes to visit in the spring. I'll definitely be visiting before then. Thanks!

Always great service and good food! We had chicken biscuit x 2 two with real sausage gravy! Ambiance is loud and busy! Tomato soup and grilled cheese was home made and delicious! They have wide variety of options! Biscuit was over cooked and tough!

This is a hidden gem in the Arlington - Ballston neighborhood. Great place for Brunch or Dinner and the service is always on point. I appreciate all the efforts the staff put into making sure your food is right and your experience is enjoyable. I consider this place as my go for two reasons. Great Food and even better prices. You will surely get your money worth here. Enjoy the great atmosphere but grab a dessert before leaving you won't regret it.

I heard about Ted's Bulletin from my aunt and my coworkers wanted to go here so we all had brunch. It was really crowded indoors so we sat outside for extra space. My server was really nice and she took all our orders. I ordered coffee, French toast with chicken sausage links, two fried eggs and carrot cake. The French toast was a bit soggy in the middle and wasn't very thick, which was a bit disappointing to my taste buds. I wish the French toast was fluffy. The only thing I liked was the hash browns. The carrot cake was pretty good. I think it could've been a little more moist but maybe it was not as moist due to being refrigerated. I noticed it tasted cold when I ate it. Next time I'll ask for it to be warmed. Overall I would try the pancakes next time I'm in this area. The pancakes looked thick and scrumptious.

Yelp
This place is stunning! The views and the windows are beautiful. The bakery upfront is also a nice touch. I love a restaurant that serves breakfast all day and is flexible. I ordered the Papas Bravas but asked for chicken sausage as I'm not a fan of chorizo. I also had the Peachy Keen mocktail which was refreshing. My husband ordered the Pancakes which were nice and fluffy. We also got a salted chocolate chip cookie and a Blueberry Cheesecake tart to go. The tart was a tad on the sweeter side but the cookie was perfect.

The responsive and friendly staff at Ted's Bulletin in the Ballston neighborhood of Arlington pulled off a lovely birthday dinner for my 14 year old, 10 of her friends and 2 nervous parents. Mason and Veronica (our gracious server) were especially helpful in easing my anxiety by planning ahead, answering questions, and taking great care of us during the actual meal. As usual, the food was delicious, drinks were refilled often, and the atmosphere was excellent. I am so happy we chose this venue for our occasion.

Ted's Bulletin is one of those spots that has literally never let me down. Every time I've gone, I got something different. Today's visit was no different. My meal consisted of the Breakfast Burrito, Tillamook Cheddar Grits, Hash Browns, and a Sangria. I also split an order of calamari and a Ted Tart with my friend. The food came out quickly and our waiter was hella friendly. At this rate, you couldn't pay me to say something bad about this place.

Sat at the bar last night and had fantastic service from George! He made a really good jalapeño pineapple margarita which was both spicy and sweet. The Mexican street salad was amazing and so was the mac n cheese. Would definitely recommend this place and will be back!

I ventured into Ted's Bulletin during the lunch rush on a lively Friday afternoon, and the place was buzzing! Despite the vibrant atmosphere, it took quite a while to get seated and even longer to receive service. However, once the food and beverages arrived, they were undeniably delicious. Unfortunately, I couldn't help but notice a significant lack of attentive servers. It seemed like they were scarce on the floor, requiring patrons to flag them down for assistance. I ordered chicken and waffles but was left without syrup until I tracked someone down to fulfill the request. The hostess appeared more like a bystander than a facilitator, with tables going unattended despite the obvious influx of diners. I initially settled at the bar due to the crowd but eventually found an available table on my own, a task seemingly overlooked by the hostess. On a brighter note, the bartender deserves commendation for his friendly and efficient service. Not only was he mixing drinks, but he was also juggling table service and tending to the bar seamlessly. One aspect that irked me was the server's decision to apply a higher tip percentage to my bill automatically. This practice only prompted me to adjust it downwards. Overall, the experience was okay. The standout was undoubtedly the delicious food, but tighter service protocols are needed for a more enjoyable visit.

Solid place for brunch staples. I got the Big Mark Breakfast and enjoyed it, although the server forgot to bring the Ted's tart that comes with it. Atmosphere is nice and right in the center of ballston quarter. This place gets super busy on during weekend brunches, recommend making a reservation ahead of time.

After our awful first experience at Ted's Bulletin, one of the managers, Ben, was kind enough to invite me and my son back to give their restaurant another try. Our two visits couldn't have been more different. From the very beginning, Ben and our server, Frederico, were so friendly, attentive, and helpful. And our food was amazing. I got the Crab Cake Benedict with a Side Salad, and my son got the Chicken and Waffles. We also shared a side of Biscuits and Sausage Gravy. My crab cakes were delicious, and the poached eggs were cooked perfectly. My son got a generous portion of fried chicken which was tender and very flavorful. It went really well with the crispy, fluffy waffle (I took a couple of bites). The biscuit we shared was also fluffy with a nice golden brown crust. I think I could have eaten the sausage gravy alone it was that good. To top off our meal, Ben surprised us with a couple of complimentary Cherry Blossom Pop Tarts to go. Delish. We thoroughly enjoyed our food, but the service from Ben and Frederico is what truly made this second visit exceptional. Based on this experience, we would definitely come back again.

Different Ted's, different experience... and much better. If you didn't see my review for the easten market location, it's a great vibe with less than great table service, and I didn't love what I ordered for breakfast. This time, we sat at the bar. It's still a great vibe, but a newer diner feel. And breakfast was much better... great French toast, eggs, and I just loved what they did with the impossible sausage to make it their own. He enjoyed his steak and eggs. The service was great.

We had dine-in breakfast. Service was attentive and friendly. The meals we ordered (Big Mark and Farmers Scramble) were both served barely warm which became cold quickly. Breakfast should be served hot without waiting under a heat lamp. We won't be back.

I think this is the best restaurant breakfast I have ever had. I had the confit shiitake hash and my husband had the breakfast burrito. We also had a side of tots and pancakes. It was all delicious, but the hash was outstanding. The service was also excellent, and we loved the space, too. We absolutely will return.

I try and eat here whenever i'm in town. Hostess was super pleasant as always, The food was delicious- started with fried pickles, which were fried to perfection and came out steaming hot and for dinner. I have the short rib stroganoff also extremely hot and delicious. I've had other meals here and have been absolutely thrilled every time. This place knows how to run a restaurant. I really like, the ambience of this restaurant and how it is laid out I also like the fact that you can get breakfast here all day and not your typical breakfast. It's delicious. The only thing I will say negative is that I did notice some minor cleaning issues that I did not notice the last time I was here regarding dustiness. I only say that in the amendment helps but honestly no complaints. This is a place you have to try.

I came to town this weekend visiting from Houston with no reservation was able to get a table the wait was around 10 to 15 minutes for three people. My server Francisco was absolutely amazing. He made us feel welcome Provided details on the menu and overall make sure we enjoyed our experience. The food was a 10 out of 10 I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone and ask for Francisco if you want to have a rememberable experience thank you ! .
