I've been here twice with my family since it is close to where we live in Gilbert and has a good location being near San Tan Marketplace and Costco. Expect a long wait on the weekends, which can take anywhere from 30-60 minutes, depending on party size. They give you a buzzer, which lets you walk around and check out the other stores without having to stay in the restaurant. There is both outdoor and indoor seating, so depending on how warm/cold it is, sometimes stating you'll take the first available, which might mean sitting outside, may get you seated sooner.
This business seems to be rooted from the NW, since many of their ingredients, such as the crab and coffee are from the NW. They do offer coffee outside while you are waiting for your table, which is a nice touch.
As for food, there are many options from omelettes, to Benedicts, pancakes, to their famous german pancakes, which are gigantic!!! For most of their sweet options, they offer add-on meals so you can still eat some eggs and hashbrowns. The first time I came here I ordered the german pancake with mixed berries. It was very large, filling, and warm. My family did have to wait a long time for a table, since there were 6 of us. We ordered immediately when we were seated because we looked at menus beforehand, expecting to get our orders out faster, but that was not the case. It was very disappointing to get our meal very late, especially because there were equally large groups seated near us and they all got their orders before us, even though we ordered and were seated at least 15 minutes before them. Additionally, some of the added-meal orders didn't come out until very late, but we saw them sitting in the pick-up window for awhile and there were servers standing around chatting...
The second time I came here I ordered the crab benedict with the french vanilla cappuccino. The cappuccino comes with a heaping of whipped cream and one free refill, which was a nice surprise! Coffee gets free refills, too. The crab benedict comes with poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, and bacon. I wasn't a fan of the bacon added to the dish, since it didn't seem to mix well with the crab, but that's more of a personal preference. It would have tasted better with avocado. I was also disappointed with the benedict because the crab meat, although real, was fairly cold, which made me suspicious of how long it had either seated at the pick-up window or that they hadn't heated it up enough, since some pieces were lukewarm.
They do also serve lunch, which I may consider trying, but I think that with the many options in the area and from these 2 experiences, I probably will plan on going somewhere else for breakfast/brunch. read more
