Reviews
"Our experience today was not the greatest the waitress was not thorough at all and her explanation on a particular meal it took three tries before I finally asked for the management to better explain what was going on. They eventually gave a dessert a slice of cake for the three of us to split reference to their failure to explain how they failed to better explain the situation with my granddaughters order."
"This is my newest favorite breakfast spot! The food is always fresh and delicious! The service is great!"
"I'm so happy we found this place! We were nearby and decided to find breakfast. When we walked in, we were greeted by 2 women and seated immediately. Our server was at the table to take our drink orders right away. The drinks were great - I had the Busboys Sangria. For brunch, I ordered the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict. This was soooo good! I cleaned my plate and can't wait to go back."
"This place is awful. My dad ordered sweet potato pancakes and they were hard as a rock and never received his side. I ordered a lamb burger, and immediately had to rush off to the bathroom to barf. We waited over 10 minutes for anyone to come to the table, in which the manager appeared, took our order, didn't write it down, and then sent an actual server 10 minutes later to retake the order. After telling the server that something was wrong with the burger, the manager came by and accused me of accusing her of food poisoning. Her pathetic answer before I interjected to correct her was “food poisoning takes 1-2 hours to detect.” The picture appended is how my lamb burger arrived: sloppily put together with the gyro bread ripped in multiple areas. Don't come here unless you’d like your stomach to feel like it's being stabbed."
"Had a great time here for Saturday brunch. Menu has a lot of options at a good price, their lattes were also really good. Service could be a little better, we waited an extended amount of time for our food, but the manager quickly resolved the issue!"
