Overall disappointing. I have given this place many tries due to its proximity to my work and the convenience of pickup, and have tried about half the menu at this point. I can say that I’ve been consistently underwhelmed by the quality of the food. It’s overpriced and just kinda meh. For today’s order, the vegan sandwich was extremely salty and the side of fries were overly seasoned and soggy. This has been par for the course for my orders here. The bright spot of this place is the speed of preparing pickup orders and probably the beer, though I’ve not tried it myself.
Food was delicious ???? I was surprised at how good the French toast was, usually with that much stuff on top it's kind of too sweet and overwhelming, but it was perfect ????. The lemon zest and in house made berry sauce were an awesome combo. Great deal on mimosas, an entire bottle for $15. Carnitas hash was delicious, and although the carnitas were more like puked pork style, it was still an excellent combo with the sauce and pushed eggs. The breakfast potatoes were on point ???? Don't waste your taste buds on the traditional breakfast, it was good but kind of plain, and everything else was so much better.
Food used to be better. Prices went up, but they have everywhere. Presentation went down hill, chicken strips are over cooked and devoid of any seasoning. Fries used to be the best part, but they changed those too and the replacement ones are blah. Been coming here for over 4 years, even during covid and personally don't drink, but my husband does and it would be nice if the food was better.
