Patty made a fresh pot of coffee for me since we were the only ones there at the moment (plenty of others came in after us). We both ordered pancakes, eggs and bacon/sausage and it was such a treat.

They serve the basics well coffee, tea, and a solid mix of small bites, sweets, and made to order sandwiches that actually hit. The space works for whatever you need that day. You can pull up with your laptop and get work done, or just sit back and people watch without feeling rushed. It is family friendly but still calm enough if you are trying to focus. Overall, it is a cozy, reliable spot that does not try too hard but still delivers.

I decided to give Mad Cow another try. I first visited when they opened and ordered the jerk tacos…read more(not sure if that's even on the menu anymore). Back then, I thought it was just okay. Today, I gave them another shot because Uber Eats was offering a buy one, get one free deal on the jerk chicken meal. I chose rice & peas with plantain for my sides. The chicken was cooked on the grill--which I love--because it really brings out the flavor in jerk chicken. I also requested my jerk sauce on the side since I prefer a dry rub style over a saucy one. The only drawback was the small bone pieces in the chicken and rice. That's something to be cautious about, especially if a child is eating the meal. The plantains were also inconsistent--some pieces were hard, while others were mushy. On the bright side, the coco bread was perfect and the Jamaican rum cake was phenomenal. Whoever baked that cake clearly took their time soaking it in rum. It reminded me of the way my grandmother used to make it--absolutely delicious. I would definitely order the rum cake again.

Usually with brunch we would do the bottomless mimosas and all but because I was driving I decided not to participate in that. And usually I would get chicken and waffles but I was in the mood for a burger. So I thought because their name is "Mad Cow" the burger would be the bomb...but nope it was not good at all. So I prefer a beef burger cooked medium with blue cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomato, and onions. When I burger got tot the table it was dry as a board. No blue cheese that I paid extra for and the burger was not cooked correctly it was cooked well done. Smdh. So the waiter brought me my blue cheese apologized about it and also gave me a mayo bottle. Even with the burger still was not good and the patty was so thick with no flavor not even salt and pepper was in it!! I tried their punch drink which was really good but for $15 a pop in a regular water glass was ridiculous. Make sure you don't get too tipsy as they already have like a 20% gratuity added on each of our checks no matter how small or big your group is which again is ridiculous! Will I come back...maybe only because I would like to try some Jamaican food they offer. But for brunch...it's a no for me!

We came for dinner on a Monday night. They do trivia in a part of the restaurant where we were…read moreseated at first. It felt a little loud, and also off when there was a whole portion of the restaurant that was empty where they weren't doing trivia! We asked to move and were reseated promptly. I ordered the mussels in a garlic-wine sauce. I knew this could be risky because I wasn't sure that's what they were known for, but took the chance anyway, They came out quickly. The server also brought another bowl for the shells with a small fork and spoon. I tried one that had a broken shell and it tasted...off. Like the mussels weren't fresh off. I tried a bite of bread in the sauce and the sauce tasted like nothing. It was very bad. I flagged over the server, explained what was wrong. She promptly took it away and took it off the bill. She asked what I wanted instead, so I went basic and got the 198 burger. It came out a couple minutes later. The burger itself was really tasty, well cooked and well seasoned. It could have used some additional sauce that wasn't mayo but that's personal preference. It came with fries. They were blah, very soggy and greasy, so they were basically untouched. My advice - go simple, and it'll be fine. I'd go back again for another burger, wings, etc but wouldn't go out on a limb again with something more adventurous.

Olive on Main is a charming neighborhood restaurant serving Mediterranean cuisine on historic Main…read moreStreet in Laurel. Street parking is free, though it's important to check the posted restrictions, and there is also a small public lot just a short walk away. Our group of 11 had a smooth and pleasant evening. Our server was relatively new but handled the large party with confidence, including separate checks, which we appreciated. She was still learning the menu, but she offered honest recommendations based on dishes she had tried herself. The food was well received across the table. The kitchen gladly accommodated two guests with dietary restrictions, and that flexibility was greatly appreciated. I ordered the Lamb Shawarma, which had tender meat and a wonderful blend of Mediterranean spices. The empty plates around the table said it all. Dessert was the highlight of the meal. The chocolate mousse cake and the layered almond-lemon cake were both rich, flavorful, and a perfect finish. With generous hospitality, accommodating service, reasonable prices, and a menu I'd like to explore further, Olive on Main is definitely a place I'd return to.

I usually come here with family or friends, and the staff is always incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. One thing I really appreciate is that they have complimentary water and coffee available in the waiting area while you wait for your table. This place is usually packed, so there's often a wait. Thankfully, they have an easy online waitlist system. We'll usually add our name to the list and run errands or stop somewhere nearby until it's almost our turn. They do a great job with the timing, so we rarely have to wait long. If we're not in the mood to wait, we'll place a to-go order instead. Overall, First Watch is one of my favorite breakfast spots, and I always enjoy coming back for the great food, friendly service, and relaxed atmosphere.

The best thing is the The deli meats they put inside, pastrami, turkey breast, tongue... Aaand I also tried something sweet from the bakery part! It was good too. I like it, I will finish it with my coffee, after my lunch.Maybe they have to add a few thing which made my dairy products... A bit light things:) I only didn't like the coffee. It was bitter and like old taste... Ambience was good.especially when they made the temperature I like the place. It wasn't cold at all. Normally in America they put the AC on. Never check the people if they are cold or not! The temperature was ideal... I think I have to visit the place more often

Tuna 8/10 The tuna was prepared really well, the crunch from the bread and the softness from the tuna was a great combo. The only thing I would change is some more seasoning on the tuna would push it over the time for me.

This restaurant is known for their waffles, obviously lol. Their menu features over 15 different waffle flavors. I ordered the cinnamon sugar waffle and my friend ordered the bacon egg and cheese waffle. I enjoyed my waffle. It was fluffy and not overly sweet. My only distaste was that some melted butter would complete the palette. My friend did not enjoy his order. He said that the waffle became soggy from the cheese and the grease from the bacon. He said that a corn waffle would be a better suit for the sandwich. -Customer service was friendly. -Free parking in front. -Reasonable prices. -No indoor seating. Take out only. I'll be back to try their other waffle flavors. Hope you enjoy!

Ordered the strawberry, banana and Nutella waffles and also strawberry, banana and biscoff. Both were very delicious. The waffle is a bit doughier than the traditional Belgian waffle cousin but it had a really nice crunch on the edges. I'm a huge fan of texture so this was right up my alley. The portions for one order is a lot- so you get your moneys worth! There is no indoor seating here so your order will be to go... eaten at home or in the car (like us).
