Not only are the portion sizes incredibly generous, the quality of the ingredients and the attention to their preparation is really notable. Food is really flavorful. This is not ordinary diner food. The scrambled eggs served on top of my Mexican Skillet may very well have been the best I've ever had! Fluffy, not dry or overcooked. Given the portions and quality of the food and ingredients, this place is an incredible value. This place is a step above!

When we walked in, we were taken by the modern and well-maintained decor- and we were seated within 45 seconds- not too bad. The menu contained all the traditional, expected accoutrements of an American pancake house - with a readable menu "not" written in a size 8 font (yay!). We quickly ordered fresh-squeezed OJ (pricey, but good), and I ordered an American breakfast that consisted of 3 eggs (at least), lotsa taters, 3 pcs of sausage, and rye toast. Hubby ordered the Avocado Toast - a dish we relocated SoCal folks love. The food came at - literally- a warm (but not hot) temp- the Avocado Toast was yummy and very generous (the flavor was really good- and the avocado was totally fresh- nice!). My American breakfast was HUGE. And yup- it was good. We looked at each other and wondered why it took us SO LONG to drive down here? Probably as it's not super close to us, maybe? Damn. We'll be back.

I have yet to find a restaurant that makes Swedish pancakes with the lingonberries as good as them.

However, we will not be returning because the food was some of the worst we have ever had, although my husband did enjoy the coffee. I had an order of hash browns, and after a few choked down bites, my husband said the I did not have to eat them. So loving on his part, and I was so relieved. He had the chicken salad sandwich off the lunch menu and they were served with potato chips. He asked the server for French fries, but they did not offer any. We will never return.

We were seated immediately on arrival and noted the terrific bakery counter with pies and cakes- really cool! I ordered coffee (but of course) and hub-hub ordered a grapefruit juice. Both came fairly quickly. I ordered a french toast combo; the waitress said I'll give you exactly what you want for a bit less, as there was a cheaper option on the menu that'll just work! Of course, I said! Hubby ordered a sunny side up skillet that came with two beautiful sunny side up eggs on hash browns and onions. Ok- the verdict? My sausages weren't very flavorful, unfortunately. But the french toast? Fantastic -with warm syrup too (always a major plus). Hubby liked his skillet, but the problem was with the fresh onions- they were TOO fresh and not cooked thru. Hmm. That was the key one point demerit. But you know what? The owner- an older gent at the counter who took our money- had opened the place 35 years ago (!). Very nice. I like the spot, and would come back again for sure. Have YOU tried Dappers? If not - give it a shot!

Despite the wait that is sometimes here, I'd say the food and service is worth it. Oh Yams 5 of 5 This is my go to dish. The sweet potato, brussel sprouts, bacon, and peppers go very well with the eggs and havarti cheese. It's a dish I would have never thought I'd like, but the flavors all pop when together. Give it a shot! Biscuit and Gravy 4 of 5: The biscuit had a good flavor, but a bit dry, but the gravy is consistently good and reminds me of Southern cooking.

After an hour we headed back and were told we had just a few more parties ahead of us. Another half hour passed and we checked in again, again being told our table would be ready soon. Another half hour passed, with our wait time now being TWO full hours, when we again checked in and they said we were next in line. After another 15 minutes, we just asked then to be honest since we were dining with 4 (now starving) kids, and they figured something out to be able to seat us (spoiler alert- they sat our party of 7 at a 4 person table). Now on to the positives... service was fantastic, food was fantastic, and the ambiance was lively and very family friendly. The different flavored mimosas were perfect, they had a great kids menu, including Mickey Mouse pancakes, and my whole group left stuffed and happy. Stray Hen would have been such an easy 5 stars had it not been for the more than double wait time with no explanation. Hopefully our next visit is better and I can update accordingly!

My personal go-to breakfast is the "Hungry Man's(Woman's?!!)" in which you can choose your eggs, bread, sides. Their biscuits and gravy are B+, which is high praise for a spot north of the Mason- Dixon line. Crispy bacon, fresh-squeezed OJ, strong coffee, yummy pancakes... perfection! But what makes this spot 5 stars is the service. Everyone is kind and helpful, and the servers are super efficient- no coffee cup goes unfilled, all special requests honored.

The service was impeccable from the initial welcome to the thank you as leaving we felt at home and cared for very well. We ordered off of the Lilys special menu for the holidays - a Cuban sandwich, breakfast burrito with chorizo and chilaquiles con Rojas with chicken, avocado and scrambled egg. Every bite was tasty and beautifully presented. The chilaquiles sauce was flavorful with a bit of spice, tortilla were crispy, the eggs perfectly cooked. This dish could easily serve two hungry people so a box was needed for take out which were promptly gobbled up by family who slept in. If you are in the area do yourself a favor and stop by Lily's Cafe! Bring a big appetite.

My husband is a human garbage disposal (rude, but true). He is happy to eat here. I really hate this place. They are overpriced, very overcrowded (on any day of the week, however do not even attempt to get a table on the weekend). If you decide to come anyway, know that they provide no seating for waiting customers. This dump is standing room only. They have (kind of, to be generous) a couple of options for vegans. Their hashbrowns are made with canola oil, and by default only, they are vegan. They serve a very bad fruit cup at a very high price. If you bring your own vegan butter, their toast and English muffin are options as well. Vegetarians do well at any breakfast diner. There are no Celiac/gluten-free options that are marked, however to my limited knowledge eggs and hashbrowns are safe (minus toast) I really try to do my best and include everyone of every dietary choice/need in my reviews.
