One of my favorite breakfast places, doesn't kill your wallet but totally fulfills the belly! I try something new everytime, which is fantastic for a someone that doesn't eat meat very often! Many different options. Staff is always kind and efficient, even on busy days we never wait long at all. The berry jam that comes with the French toast is divine!
Jun 9, 2026 · Google ReviewThe food was good. Tasted like it was fresh. A little artsy for me. What they call healthy, is different than what I call healthy. Service was great. My biggest complaint was that the food was bland. The salmon bennie had a great smoked flavor. My wife's Classic had a turkey sausage patty. gross. I brought it home. My dogs would not eat it. My sone had some special. It looked good. It was all real food. He said it was good. I would recommend reading very carefully before you order. What I saw was the biggest sell, was the million dollar bacon. $10 for four strips of bacon.

Mar 28, 2026 · Google ReviewMy husband and I were treated to breakfast here by our daughter. This was a first time for us. I've never had Eggs Benedict so I asked if it was ok to have the eggs cooked a little more as I have an aversion to runny eggs. The waitress said no problem and even wrote down "hard". Great. Now I understand this morning was very busy and the last thing I ever want to do is send something back BUT the eggs came out runny. I hesitated saying anything but the server came by and asked how everything was...I guess my face said it all. Even she was upset looking at the pool of runny yokes and told me she would get another. The rest of it was really good and I felt bad but at $15 for two eggs and some ham I figured it was warranted. About 10 minutes later she brought another plate and I had to laugh...this version was made using two cold hard boiled eggs. Good Lord...just didn't have to heart to say anything but the kitchen staff sent me a clear message to never ever complain or send anything back. We enjoyed the visit with our daughter and grandson even though it was extremely loud. I believe this is a unique place catering to the younger generations. I'll stick to Crackerbarrel or Dennys for a more traditional old fashioned type breakfast.
May 9, 2026 · Google ReviewMy first time getting the purple haze drink, and Floridian French toast and as always, it was wonderful. The staff here is always fabulous and accommodating as well. You could spend $10 at Dunkin’ Donuts for a coffee and avocado toast. Here you would spend double but you get way more for your buck and it’s healthier and portions are perfect. Highly recommend. My favorite breakfast spot!
