Had some of the best French Toast I’ve ever had here. The Caramel French Toast was perfectly fluffy, and paired well with the grapefruit juice I ordered. Downside was that it didn’t come with a side, so side will be charged extra. I ordered fresh fruit for mine and the fruit tasted sweet and fresh. The Dutch Treat was also a great and delicious sharing piece to get. Service was excellent, and even though it was during rush hour, the waitresses were very attentive and not time-pressing. I’m not much of a French Toast fanatic, but this one order might be one of the reasons I will be coming back!
Excellent service and food. Our waitress Paola was awesome and very attentive. I got the southwest skillet 🍳 with chorizo, pepperjack cheese, potatoes, onions, and jalapeños. Side order of pancakes. Everything was very good
Love this place. Great prices, great food. Decent size portions. Very friendly staff. HUGE menu to choose from. Delicious hot chocolate. Can get very busy very quick. We will definitely keep this on our favorites list.
Loving the renovation!!! More modern. Wait staff and hostess great as always. Food delish. Not eating red meat, turkey or pork any longer they made my day with the chicken sausage. For my guest that eat red meat but not pork or turkey they enjoyed the corn beef hash. Pancakes….Oh my. Just absorbs the syrup. You can count on Julie to keep your coffee coming 😀💞
