The food - So good. Took a friend to lunch... her 1st experience. She could barely speak... nom nom nom. She loved that you could get breakfast for lunch. We shared a fancy juice. So yummy. I had already had each, so she chose. Good choice. The service was subpar. They were busy at first, but then most cleared out. Our table was not clean. Waitress checked on us once (right after bringing food) before bringing the check. When ordering our shared juice, she merely brought 2 straws. I used a clean coffee cup left on the table and used my straw... I needed a drink and ordered after the check. She did remove dishes once we were finished. When I said something at checkout about service, and only leaving 15% tip, nothing was said... as if I never said a word. Still - - the food completely makes up for anything else, and still receives 5* in my book.
The food is standard. I had a really bad experience with this place for first time. The wait time was approximately 45 mins. I saw people walk in after us had food but we were still waiting. Definitely not coming back for the wait.
Usually my experience has been great today not so much. I ordered three traditional breakfast (11.79)and added cheese mushrooms and onions. And an order of eggs for my grandson We ended up paying 70.00 Because we ended up being charged an extra 6 dollars per plate for the cheese$ 1.69 mushrooms $1.99 and onions 1.99. We were totally unaware that it was so much extra for a sprinkle of toppings for two eggs. I have added a picture so you can see it was literally 2 mushrooms in the eggs and I paid 1.99 for that. We asked to speak to the manager about this and instead of the manager coming over she sent a rude message saying when you order additional you should already expect to pay extra. That was so ridiculous and rude. Like ok yes we expect a small charge but not 1.99 for 2 peices of mushroom. Managers on duty General Manager Lauren Kitchen Manager Amanda Now I understand that prices have gone up and to keep up with the cost you have to raise prices but for two bites of mushroom 1.99 a
