We were looking for a good place for a full breakfast before heading out to the outlets, and this place sounded like (based on yelp reviews) a decent bet for a very good breakfast nearby where we were staying. As soon as we arrived and pulled into the parking lot, we immediately had our doubts as the building's exterior looked like such an old and run-down dive of a joint....BUT, we braved it out and walked right in and, Wow!.....such a cool little cozy diner style interior with lots of classic photos and memorabilia all over the walls. Our hopes had suddenly been raised and we had very high hopes for this place.
We were immediately greeted by one of the servers and told to seat ourselves.....we chose a nice cozy booth in the corner. It was still around 10.30am brunch time so the place was only half filled with diners....I can definitely imagine this place getting pretty packed during regular meal hours with lines out the door.
Anyway, we went ahead and ordered the 2-egg with burger patty with fries, fresh mushroom and cheese omelet with hash browns (my order), and the veggie omelet with a side of fresh fruit (not on the main menu).
Hmmm, ok, let's start off by saying that I expected better for a place that specialized in breakfasts. Perhaps the cook was having an off day, but my mushroom omelet was very dry.....it tasted good with that cheese on top, but was just dry...most likely overcooked. My hash browns tasted not too bad, but were also kind of dry and all in little pieces. I did somewhat enjoy the sourdough toast that came my breakfast though. The other disappointment was the beef patty with the two eggs and side of fries.....the patty was so dry it really couldn't be eaten, so it was just left on the plate. The fries that came with it were not even hot and fresh.... less than lukewarm actually. The only decent part of this plate were the eggs and English muffins. The last breakfast was the veggie omelet which, we were told, was pretty good.....so I'll just take their word for it. It looked rather dry to me.
Other than the service being pretty decent, I was rather disappointed with our breakfast here as I had expected much better for a place that specialized in breakfasts. However, since there are so many positive reviews on this place, we are willing to give it a try again in the future......perhaps the cook had an off day, the place was short staffed, or something......who knows.
