The customer service was great, and both the food and drinks were very good. Everything tasted fresh and was well prepared. My only complaint would be the price. We got 2 drinks, 2 breakfast sandwiches, and a pastry, and it came out to around $45, which felt a little pricey for a cafe breakfast. Overall, though, we had a good experience and I would definitely come back. The atmosphere, cleanliness, service, and quality of the food were all great.

So when we found ourselves close to downtown on a weekday morning, we headed out to this place. Its location is a bit tricky with construction/road closures...but there was ample parking behind the building and with the new parking structure opening up even more so. The place looked quaint with a limited menu. We both ordered the Sunrise Breakfast Burrito with coffee for my wife. You place an order by the counter, given a number to place on your table, find a table then they deliver your order. We sat upstairs and our orders were delivered. I had to go back downstairs to get some hot sauce for my burrito. The burritos were quite good! My wife liked the coffee as well. We weren't told if coffees were refillable or if she needed to order another one. While the ambience and food quality were both good, we felt the value wasn't quite there. We would've preferred the burritos served with house potatoes or something similar vice 3 wedges of orange. We might be back to try their lunch offerings.

We visited on a Saturday afternoon, a couple hours prior to closing. They were still super busy at this time. My friend arrived before me and got us a table. After I sat, it took a while for a server to greet us. The menu was super extensive and there were plenty of options. I was not super hungry so I was opting for 1 or 2 scrambled eggs with cheese and a side of hotcakes. They also have an extensive drink menu, which includes boozy drinks. I opted for water because I was going to be driving up to Gainesville. We ordered our food and waited a long time to receive the food. I had asked if they had sugar free syrup and they did! That was dependent on whether I would order the hotcakes or not (T1D). I loved my food. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the cheese was perfectly melted. The hotcakes were huge and my T1D did not like them at all. I'm hoping I actually didn't receive regular syrup. My friend and I did not finish our food and asked for boxes. We thought the prices were a little over the top. I would like to visit again and try other items. The menu is not too vegan or vegetarian friendly. I thought I looked at a menu that had plant based items here but when I asked, our server said they do not serve that.

The burger was hot, juicy and delicious! And all the fixins were fresh. The coleslaw had more of a vinegar flavor which I liked. And the sweet potato fries were piping hot and yummy!

We had an early service and we were at The Brunch House before 9:30 AM and this place was doing brisk business...a good sign. We sat down, were presented menus, and my wife ordered coffee while we decided what to order for breakfast. My wife chose the 2 Eggs and a Biscuit with hash browns ($11.99) and I decided to try out their Eggs Benedict with house potatoes ($13.99). The half order of biscuits that came with my wife's meal was quite generous...more like a full order. So much so that she took home the eggs and hash browns for a later meal. She liked the fresh biscuits smothered in a savory, peppery gravy. The only thing she would improve on is perhaps adding some sausage meat in the gravy and it would be perfect. The eggs Benedict were well executed. Perfectly poached eggs atop a smoky and thick slice of Canadian bacon and English muffin, all swimming in a creamy hollandaise sauce. The only thing that would've made this better would be a thicker, more substantial English muffin. All in all, we liked our breakfast meal and will likely return. Breakfast for 2 was just under $38 with tip. NOTE: There's a surcharge for credit card payments.

I hear that Flyers imports their hoagie rolls from Philadelphia and they are superb. No negative comments from anyone in our group about other meals. Service was very good. Rest room was clean. Staff were very friendly. Signage from the road is very difficult to see, but they say that they are working on that. The theme of the place focuses on the owners home town of Philadelphia, specifically the Philadelphia Flyers hockey team. We'll be back!!
