At what based off of some social media post and didn't realize that each day the menu rotates so I was a little disappointed that three of the items I wanted we're not available on the day.

What disappointed me and threw me for a loop was that the bacon is already cooked microwavable bacon. I honestly have had enough with these restaurants that are serving cooked microwavable, bacon and charging $3.99 for it. If you want to charge $3.99 for three pieces of bacon, it better start being fucking real bacon. I am now walking into restaurants and flat out asking them if it's the microwavable pre-cooked bacon or if it's real raw bacon before they even think about charging me that much. It doesn't happen much in restaurants, but I noticed that I haven't said anything when I do find that they serve it and I'm not doing that shit anymore. Other than that, like I said, everything else was subpar the home fries were cooked well and were seasoned pretty well. The eggs were subpar just your standard eggs. The kiddo loved her hot cake and sausage. She did mention the same thing about the bacon. other than that like I said service was great. Definitely noticed a lot of the waitresses like to gossip but they were all really sweet, but I guess that's what we all do at work. Also, this is for anybody that reads this that goes to any restaurant start keeping an eye on your freaking children. When we were in there, we kept noticing that there was a child that was literally just walking around, touching every single freaking table that was vacant and cleaned, and the parents weren't doing a damn thing about it, but touching all over each other and ignoring their children, and the dad spent the majority of his time on his phone. Be a better parent and engage with your children and keep an eye on your children and again that part does not affect the rate of this restaurant.

Don't you agree? Give me a LIKE if you do !!! The crepe was next level. Delicate crepe, very soft ripe bananas, sauce was not disgustingly sugary, and the vanilla ice cream was smooth and soft, not icy and sweet. Dunno what brand they use, or if they churn the cream fresh in-house, but it made my day.

To get in and out of any restaurant in less than 30 minutes is a feat and I pride myself on being efficient - but SHOUT OUT to the team here because my food arrived almost as fast as my order was placed! The Seafood Basket (shrimp, lightly-breaded) was a safe bet, with homemade slaw (not bad, but nothing to write home about). For an up charge, you can get the popular onion rings which I did enjoy. This simple, unassuming restaurant is a staple in the area and I can see why. The food is just fine, nothing too salty or over-seasoned. My server was great and the tunes they play here are SOLID (Jackie Wilson, Sam Cooke, etc.). I would absolutely return and bring my parents. Daily specials are available as is my recommendation to come here and have a Whale of a good time.
