    A cut above breakfast sandwich.
    Andrew A.

    The insane wait makes me hesitate to return! Good Lord, find a way to be more process efficient. That said, the Green Juice Shake was excellent. Likewise, the Egg, cheese, and sauce on a homemade muffin was one of the better breakfast sandwiches I've had. Nice guy in the window.

    One of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. The area is a bit inaccessible but the food more than makes up for it. The sausage was so incredibly flavorful, way better than any usual breakfast sausage. The English muffin was so fresh and the bacon was portioned very generously. I even enjoyed the egg which usually grosses me out. Overall, perfection. 10/10

    Twilight Tasty

    Got the Twilight Tasty - soft muffin, eggs cooked right, and everything balanced. I'm picky about bread and prefer it extra crispy, but this still landed. Super friendly staff! Felt like a place I'd send someone who needs a solid start to the day.

    Amazing spot! Friendly staff, quick service, tasty food. Drove by so many times and finally got to try it out, so happy I finally did. Fresh baked English muffins, tasty meats, cheese, and an amazing chili mayo. Twilight Tasty is the way to go.

    Went by at 9:45 on a Saturday morning - based on the reviews I figured the line would be insane, but to my surprise there was no line, just a few people waiting for their orders. It's an unassuming truck, but what a delightful breakfast sandwich. This was my first time, so I went with the twilight (which I'm told was their most popular). Everything from the English muffin to the eggs and meat all tasted super fresh and the sausage seemed homemade. I wasn't sure about having both bacon and sausage on the same sandwich (felt like it could be overkill) but it really worked nicely together. Also - the sandwiches are well sized, which I don't always expect when it's served on an English muffin! For $11 I think it's a great deal and now one of my fav breakfast sandos in town. If you plan to eat there, there are only a few tables so it may be difficult to snag one to sit at during peak times. Worth a drive & a try!

    I ordered a plain egg and cheese and it was delicious! The English muffin was soo good. Staff was friendly and food came out at a reasonable time.

    Oh how I wish I would have found this place sooner!! Truly one of the best English muffins I've ever had. Like a little cloud . And the corned beef hash... I never knew I needed it in my life. Simply delicious! Service is friendly, helpful and pretty quick. The only warning I have for folks with AT&T is that your phone will hardly get reception, so carry some cash with you to pay for food. Parking is a bit of a challenge but I just parked around the corner and it was fine. There is a few tables outside if it's sunny and you want to hang out. One more note: make sure to get there early to ensure you get a little taste of English muffin breakfast heaven.

    Twilight Tasty, and yes, it is!

    Absolutely delicious made from scratch English muffin sandos! The Twilight Tasty was just my perfect breakfast sandwich on that muffin! It was so light and fluffy. It had smoked bacon on top and lovely spicy sausage on the bottom and in between the most perfectly cooked scrambled eggs. Top that with a chili aioli. Oh my so yum! Definitely making this place one of our usuals.

    Stellar breakfast sandwich. The homemade English muffin is fluffy and delicious. The combination on this funky little sandwich (Morning Muffin) worked surprisingly well and each bite had to perfect ratio of ingredients. Will be back to try other options!!

    Vegetarian

    What a great place! The English muffins are homemade every day. There's a beautiful crunch to them and a savory finish. Our group had three different kinds. One full of meat, a vegetarian, and a vegan one. Each person raved about the fluffy eggs and great flavor. Don't forget to get the green ginger drink. It was so refreshing and a wonderful way to start our day. We got there right when they opened at nine because we had heard sometimes they run out. The owner said he's up every morning at 3:30 AM Making those english muffins. I wish there was one closer to my house, but I will make the trip over there again and again!

The space itself is smaller and intimate, so bringing a larger group than about 4-5 people might not be ideal. The ambiance definitely gave Italy vibes, for sure. The chicken liver mousse was a good consistency, paired with the figs gave a nice balance between sweet and savory. The steak frites was a classic, steak was a good portion and cooked medium rare, but I'm sure if you wanted it more cooked through, you could make that request. The fries were definitely a standout, great texture and the garlic flavor gave a good contrast to the steak. My favorite dish was the dessert, the flaky crust gave a nice texture to the cream insides. I'm a huge passionfruit fan, so once I saw it was on the menu, I knew I had to try it. It didn't disappoint and I would definitely come back just for this dish alone. Overall a solid experience and would recommend people to try Canard out at least once!

The food came out quickly, hot, and prepared correctly. All items were quite tasty. It's not exactly gourmet in terms of you taking a bite and thinking it's the best thing you've ever eaten, but it's solid. I really want to try dinner there. Ambience is busy and bustling.

But when our server was with us, they were very nice and patient with my questions and requests. It's a bit loud when the place is on the full side, making it difficult to have a conversation. I wouldn't bring my girlfriend who is hard of hearing, at least with a group. I'd be curious to try more of the menu. I was very much not wowed by the breakfast. The beverages were however very nice, and I recently had the cobbler dessert and it looked amazing and tasted better. We had the coffee (Extracto, love.), I had a really good hef and my mother a very well balanced Bellini that I was very pleasantly surprised with trying. From what I saw, the lunch sounds very good and I'd be more apt to recommend folks give that a shot if they happened to be going there too. I'm not sure if I'd recommend as a must go stop. Vibe wise, the ambience is overall really nice. I think having rolled flatware, even with just upgraded napkins, would better complete the aesthetic you initially see and feel. This would also connect with the price point of the food and quality of the beverages. As a fellow server, on that note I would expect more consistent stronger visual appearance standards with servers. (Sorry guys! But some of you looked great!) Overall, I'd definitely join a friend for coffee and lunch over there in the future. Just wouldn't be my top pick for a celebratory brunch or intimate dinner with a date or friends and fam.

That's exactly how I ended up here, killing time between appointments at the nearby VA Medical Center.

I went with the classic combat loadout: two eggs over-medium, bacon, crispy hash browns, and a biscuit with a side of country gravy... HOOAH! Execution? Nailed it. Eggs cooked perfectly, bacon thick and meaty, hash browns plentiful and done right, and a massive biscuit drowning in gravy. Mission accomplished. I left full, satisfied, and oddly respected. Now let's be honest--the place could use a facelift. It looks like it's been through a few campaigns. But clearly, whatever they're doing works. Bonus points: open 24 hours, which already puts them ahead of half the competition. The staff were friendly, efficient, and squared away. And all this for about $20?

The salmon benedict, although highly recommended by the waitress, was extremely fishy, even though the "hollandaise sauce" (which had no depth of flavor, and was just thick) covered the entirety of the egg, salmon, and english muffin. It came with cheesy hash browns which again had no depth of flavor. Cheese makes anything tasty but it was just too much. The service, while friendly, was not attentive. We were unsure who our server was and I had to flag down the server for the bill and then to take my card 10 minutes later.
