There's a little coffee shop in the restaurant itself which is nice if you want something different to drink! Waitress was very friendly bringing waters and taking our order right away. Our food came out surprisingly quick and I was pleasantly surprised! The build your own omelette is around $11.95 with each ingredient added .95; I got bacon, mushrooms, feta, and sun dried tomatoes and it was a fantastic breakfast. Big portion and you can get fruit, cottage cheese or has browns as your side plus 2 pieces of toast with a slice of melon. Well worth $15 and it tasted great! The 'world famous' pancakes were good but nothing extraordinary about them, fluffy and a solid pancake for $15 you get 2 big pancakes a sausage patty or bacon to choose and eggs. Pretty good. I would come back but instead of pancakes we would try something different that's a house special

Service was great. Caroline was a congenial and friendly welcome. It stood apart from the less than…read morewarm welcome from front staff. Unfortunately, our food for some reason sat on the counter several minutes before being served. In fact 3 tables sat after us received their food before our table. We didn't really take it personally because we noticed lots of tables with food sitting on the countertop for sometime. Perhaps they need an expo runner or someone to be able to respond to all food that should be served hot. A team effort would be a greater experience for everyone. We did have to send back when the food arrived. It was cold to the touch. Obviously nobody wants to eat cold eggs, along with the meat and accompaniments. A manager never came over to us, but our server did inform us that the manager gave us a small discount as a gesture, we appreciated it and didn't ask for it. Again, she was very accommodating and kind but I just think the restaurant overall would do so much better to have someone to help with expediting hot food so that it arrives hot not cold. I unfortunately had to also stop eating my meal halfway because the amount of flies that were just coming in and out of the restaurant was overwhelming, and once they landed on my eggs, I could no longer eat them. The place was busy and overall clean. It seems like a local hotspot. The hot cocoa with the added flavoring was not as sweet as I was expecting it lacked flavor and richness. However, it was served with a cute little decorative foam and not whipped cream we were expecting.

Our waitress was amazing on the refills and communication on when kitchen was getting out our food! She was amazing, with it being super busy. She still took great care with our table. The food was 10/10. We had country fried steak, Irish Benedict, cinnamon roll, biscuits and gravy. Everything came out warm and tasted great. I think the country fried was standout. Big proportions and gravy is flavorful. All the potato sides were great as well! Hash browns and breakfast potatoes. Price was also super reasonable!!!

Both my wife and I thought they were outstanding. Will be back to try more items.

We visited with another family while vacationing in Arizona and had one of the worst dining…read moreexperiences we've had in a long time. We've been coming to lake havasu city for 6 years. From the moment we were seated, we were ignored while every other table around us was greeted, served, checked on, and treated warmly. To make matters worse, the overall ambience felt dirty and poorly maintained, which immediately gave a bad first impression. Our server, Reena/Rina, never introduced herself and never properly attended to our table. I was left with an empty coffee cup for most of the visit. At one point, our friend had to flag her down and ask for a refill, and even then she initially ignored him. She walked around with a pot of coffee topping off every table but ours. My husband received an orange juice and water early on, but once those were gone, neither drink was ever refilled. Meanwhile, every surrounding table received attentive service--drink refills, condiments, check-ins, and everything they needed while waiting for their meals. We were there for about an hour and never received food. Not once did anyone apologize for the delay, acknowledge that we had been waiting, or offer any explanation. I listened to her laugh with other tables, calling them by name, apologizing for the wait. It was so uncomfortable. I felt extremely awkward. What made this especially upsetting was how singled out we felt. It genuinely seemed as though we were being intentionally avoided while everyone else was treated normally. I have never felt discriminated against in a restaurant until this experience. As visitors to the area, it also left us wondering whether tourists are treated differently. When we finally got up and left, the server watched us walk out the door and said nothing. This was unacceptable and deeply disappointing. No guests should be made to feel ignored, unwelcome, or targeted. A manager or owner should reach out and address how this happened, because no customer should leave feeling this way. AWFUL server!!!!!

The restaurant was empty, yet the food took quite a while to come out. When it finally arrived, my toast was burnt, and the pastrami sandwich I tried was extremely salty.

Unfortunately, I would not recommend this restaurant based on our experience.

I'll be very honest: we came in on a Sunday morning for brunch as a respectful, but admittedly…read morerowdy, group of ten celebrating a bachelorette party. We know that a large, excited group can be a lot for a server. Several people in our party currently work or have worked as servers, so we really do try to be understanding and tip accordingly. First, the good: the food was wonderful! Everything was cooked perfectly, and every person in our party was happy with what they ordered. The hostess and the other staff members we interacted with were also wonderful and incredibly helpful. The food itself was definitely a highlight of our brunch! One thing we were surprised by was that there was no drink menu at all. There weren't any drinks listed on the menu, so we had no idea what beverages were available or what we could order. Especially for Sunday brunch, having some kind of drink section or separate drink menu would have been really helpful. Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment was our server, Debbie. From our first interaction, it felt very clear that she was unhappy about having our table. When she first came over, we let her know that we would like separate checks. We completely understand that splitting a table of ten can mean a little extra work, but with the automated system being used, we didn't think it was an unreasonable request. Debbie's immediate response was to roll her eyes and sigh, which set an uncomfortable tone for the rest of the meal. There were several issues after that. One person ordered a regular soda and was brought a diet (but was too nice to correct the mistake). Another asked for her soda in a to-go cup and Debbie laughed at her. Someone else ordered a coffee, and after everyone else's drinks had arrived, hers still hadn't. She asked about it again, but it ultimately wasn't brought out until our food had started arriving and the hostess stepped in and brought it to her. After we finished eating, we immediately asked for our checks. We then waited about 10 minutes before asking for our checks again. When they still hadn't arrived, we had to ask again and the hostess went to check on them for us. When Debbie finally brought them over, she rolled her eyes at us again and said, "I was working on them!" One of the checks appeared to be incorrect, so someone in our party politely asked for clarification. Debbie took the receipt, crumpled it up, said, "That's not yours," and walked away. We were honestly stunned. It was the check that had been brought to our table, so there was no way for us to know that it wasn't ours without asking. What makes the experience particularly disappointing is that our group is very aware that we can be a little loud and rowdy when we're together. That's actually why we make such a point of being respectful to our servers and tipping generously. It's a fun tradition in our friend group for each person to tip a good amount (sometimes $20+) on their individual check when we go out together for good service. Several of us have worked in the service industry, so we know that a table of ten can be a lot, and we like showing our appreciation. We absolutely don't expect special treatment because of that, but it was disappointing to feel like we were an inconvenience from the moment we sat down. Overall, the brunch food was fantastic, and the hostess was wonderful. Unfortunately, Debbie's service was consistently unfriendly and dismissive, and it put a pretty big damper on what otherwise would have been a wonderful Sunday brunch celebrating our friend. We will definitely choose a different brunch spot next time.
