We were in for breakfast and it wasn't bad at all. I had the breakfast burrito that was wrapped in an omelet instead of a tortilla. Different but pretty good. The wife had a pancake the size of a dinner plate. Our server was very friendly and on the ball. She even took the time to chat a little. The place is clean and nicely decorated. We enjoyed our breakfast and will stop some day and get into the burger menu.

I thought maybe it was me, but observed her rude to others. This is a restaurant's first chance to set the tone, and she is not doing them any justice. We got a table and ordered drinks. My mom got the loaded Bloody Mary, which she said was delicious. It also was LOADED. Get this for sure! My SIL got the broasted chicken and said it was tasty as well. If you like chicken, it would be worth trying. Sadly I got a Mushroom and Swiss burger and it was fine. I always get burgers well done from a food safety perspective. It was medium at best. We already waited 40 minutes for food so I didn't send it back. The server never came back to ask how our food was either. My niece got a grilled cheese on the kid's menu. It was 90% bread for a 4 year old. Parents don't get this option! It's not worth the money. I know they were busy so trying to be respectful of that. Unfortunately the service was slow, the staff lacking and the food average to below, so go for a drink but choose your food wisely.
