Went back to give them another chance. Told the cashier I wanted everything listed on the menu on my nachos. Still came back missing some of the toppings. Cook claimed he didn't know when he was standing literally next to the cashier when I was placing my order. Told them the toppings were missing then they finally added them on my plate. Shouldn't have to repeat myself that much just to get my order correct. I also wanted soup but didn't get it because the cashier told me they only have it in a 32 ounce container. Then when I walk up to the other side of the counter I see right above the grill a giant sign saying they offer soup in a bowl. Not sure what the deal is with the workers here but it's like they don't want your business. Seems like management didn't have much of an influence on their workers.

Steak Taco

This famous burrito location is my go to when in the mood for tacos! Specially on Taco Tuesday when the tacos are only $2.75 plus tax! Normally $3.99. They do get alittle busy on this day but they move quick and we were able to dine in and eat with not much of a wait.0 Everything is very filling from the guac and chips or a steak quesadilla as appetizer everything is always well done. Tacos with an Horchata is sure to hit the spot! They also have a freezer with good fruit popsicles for dessert. The horchata (rice water) was delicious with good flavor not watered down. Staff was friendly, and place was well cleaned. Will be back!

You get exactly what you're order, and it's quick, easy, and filling. We came by for dinner on Friday night. They were not too busy as we came in just before the dinner rush. Parking is complimentary as they are located in a strip. Once you enter the restaurant you are asked to wait until they call you up to the counter. Once you order, they will call your number to pick up your food. There were some tables available for dine in, but it seems majority order it for carry out. We decided to dine in. I got 3 steak tacos and my husband got a burrito. It wasn't until after we ordered and paid that we saw the 3 taco dinner which was cheaper than 3 tacos separately. I ordered my tacos on flour tortillas with cilantro and onions. I got exactly that. They hit the spot and were just what I need for dinner. We also got a side of guac and chips which I thought was a bit too salty, but with the tacos they were fine. For my drink I got an aqua Fresca, it came without ice which I usually love but it was oddly warm and tasted a bit odd not being chilled. Keep in mind there are no refills for drinks. All in all, we had a great experience and I would certainly come back and try other menu items.

Also the tres leches French toast with ample fruits and condensed milk was also very fresh and delightful. Pricing is fair and our server was nice and efficient. I think the only negative I can say was the host who looked like she didn't want to be there and seemed like she didn't want us to be there also. What a weird way to enter an establishment

Eggsperience is a big open and airy room in an antique white and light blue coloration making you feel at ease and welcome like a nice Spring day. We were seated at a table for four, but an additional person joined us and we figured we'd make room for five at our table. The staff insisted we move to a five-person round table despite them being busy. It was a nice sized table and gave plenty of room for five to six people, Our server was a lovely girl who was always coming by. The menu is huge and since we were all talking and having a good conversation, I never really was able to focus, so I ordered a traditional two eggs any style with meat and toast or pancakes. I got my eggs scrambled and dry, with bacon crispy and added diced potatoes (the ones that are just potatoes and nor peppers and diced onions), a toasted English muffin, and asked for a Diet Coke. She asked if I wanted Diet Pepsi or Pepsi Zero. PEPSI ZERO?!!! No one ever has Pepsi Zero. I said absolutely yes to the Pepsi Zero. So she brought me two mason jar mugs because she wasn't sure which was the Diet and which was the Zero. Apparently a staff member attached the two drinks to the wrong fountain heads and she wanted to know which I wanted. I was able to pick the Zero out fairly easily. How cool, Pepsi Zero. Anyway, we all got our food nd mine was made perfectly the way I ordered it. The eggs were made dry (not cooking with butter or oil), the potatoes were just roasted potatoes, the bacon was crispy, the English muffin was toasted (so my whipped butter filled in all the nooks and crannies - as they should do as advertised on TV), and the drink was Pepsi Zero! And our server was quick to replenish drinks. Plus, the cost does not break the bank. Many breakfast places tend to overprice their breakfast items. I wish I came here sooner. I't's easily one of my favorite breakfast places (easily in the Top 3). It was not just a pleasant experience. It was an Eggsperience (sorry, had to do the cheap pun!) :)

From the unassuming outside one might question the deliciousness of The Original Granny's, but you…read morewill be missing a tasty place to enjoy breakfast and lunch! We have friends who frequent The Original Granny's and they say it's a hidden gem. They're right! Walking in around 12:30, we were warmly greeted by the friendly owner and quickly seated. The inside had comfortable booths and tables. It was bright and warm. We can tell that the owner really cares about their restaurant and hospitality. There were a lot of regulars eating there, we can tell by the friendly conversations with the staff and customers. Our server was so friendly (her name escapes me, but I think it starts with a T). She patiently gave me time to look over the menu (there's some really good choices). Hubs decided what he wanted pretty quick. He ordered a rise and shine burger which was one of the daily specials, medium rare. I opted for 1/2 soup and 1/2 corned beef sandwich. We both got the clam chowder (soup of the day). The clam chowder arrived nice hot. His was pretty full of clams while mine wasn't but I'm sure it's just the way the soup gets scooped. It was still good! His burger arrived a perfectly prepared medium rare. The fries are so crispy and delicious! I hate sending food back, but my corned beef was very lean, somewhat dry, and hard to chew. The corned beef was cooked on the griddle which made it dry out. BUT, it was quickly remedied and replaced with my backup choice of a BLT. The BLT was very good! Thick sliced tomato, crispy lettuce, and crispy bacon with just the right amount of toast to the bread! It really was one of the better BLTs I've had (yes, it can be possible to have other places mess it up). Our server was so sweet and apologetic about the corned beef sandwich. We left lunch full and happy! I honestly don't know if they changed me extra for paying by debit. I didn't notice a sign or ask, it wasn't mentioned, and our check was only $37 so if 3% keeps a small family business going and servers employed, I'm not whining. The owner at the register asked how our meal was and thanked us for trying his restaurant (meaning he pays attention to new customers and regulars!). The food was tasty, portions were good, and the service was friendly! We will be back to try the breakfast menu!

I ordered the French toast that was modeled after and tastes like the Samoan Girl Scout cookies. My friend had eggs and sausage. The food was terrific and our sever checked on us often. There is an additional charge if you use a credit card. So bring cash. I highly recommend The Original Granny's!

The…read moreservice is great, the food is very good, the atmosphere is for families, and they have a great fireplace in the restaurant. They do have monthly specials, but I tend to be more traditional for brunch. This time, I had a Carnitas Hash with poached eggs and fresh fruit. It was very good but honestly, it could have used a little more salt and possibly some hot sauce. Rise n Dine is a little more expensive than other brunch locations we go to, but they are so nice, we love going there.

My husband and I dined here. We ordered a burger and waffles with eggs and side of bacon. The burger was uncooked, nearly raw. The blood soaked through the bun making a mushy, unappetizing presentation. My waffles were ok, they are standard waffles. I ordered my eggs over easy and they came out scrambled. The bacon wasn't cooked completely so fatty and greasy. I tried to catch our server's attention, but she wasn't anywhere to be seen until it was time for the check. We've tried to give this place several chances as I like to shop at Fresh Farms, but each time the meal has disappointed. Then to find out the owner is recording for his channel sealed the deal to never come back. There's too many delicious restaurants around the area to put up with mediocre food, high prices, rude ownership, and poor service. Upside is that the restaurant is clean and there's a nice fireplace that some can sit in front of.

When I went up to put my name on the list, the man writing names down was extremely rude to me and my family. The man at the front also made multiple microaggressive comments toward us, which made the experience uncomfortable from the start. The food, in my opinion, was also subpar. I ordered two eggs with bacon, potatoes, and pancakes. The eggs and potatoes were good, but the pancakes tasted strange, and the bacon tasted old and honestly pretty disgusting. My sister ordered the "Factory French Toast," and she said it literally tasted like something that came straight from a factory. My mom ordered the meat omelet and said it was just okay. When it was time to pay, we asked for the check to be split three ways. When we received the bill, we noticed they had charged us an additional fee just for splitting it. On top of that, while we were waiting in line to pay, the employee clearly saw us standing there, yet allowed another man to cut in front of us. There was also a confusing moment when my sister accidentally dropped a few things, including her card and my mom's card. Someone at the front helped pick them up, but then tried to pay using whichever card he had in his hand with a random receipt. My sister had to politely correct him. Overall, the service felt disorganized and disrespectful, and the food did not make up for it. Unfortunately, this was a really disappointing experience for my family.
