I want to add that the vegan waffles and pancakes were the best I have had in the United States.

I love these for breakfast and they aren't on many menus so ai had to have they. They did not disappoint. They were delicious and served with soft tortillas. I would go back her again if we were in the area. The menu also had gluten free and vegan options so something for everyone.

First, I ordered avocado toast and specifically asked for it without cilantro. I even asked whether…read moreit would be possible to prepare it that way. Despite making my preference clear, the toast arrived with cilantro. When I asked for it to be corrected, He was told that all their chefs had New York experience. I found this comment completely irrelevant to the issue. Having experienced chefs does not excuse failing to follow a customer's straightforward request. When I mentioned that I am a chef myself, the comment seemed even more unnecessary. I simply wanted my toast without cilantro. If I had been told upfront that this modification was not possible, I could have chosen a different dish. Instead, my request was apparently not communicated properly to the kitchen or recorded on the ticket. That is a communication issue on the restaurant's side, not the customer's. Second, I ordered turkey bacon, but the first serving was excessively cooked, dry, and unpleasant. I requested a replacement, and to be fair, the second serving was juicy and delicious. I appreciate that they corrected this issue. Later, I asked for salt and another coffee. The salt arrived after I had already received the last bites of my meal. As I was finishing my coffee, I noticed what appeared to be residue or a cleanliness issue inside the cup. I would like to believe that the staff would not knowingly serve a cup in that condition, but it was still concerning and disappointing. The most unprofessional part of the experience, however, was the behavior I witnessed in what appeared to be a manager or chef-manager. After taking my plate, this person spoke to the kitchen staff and said, "Do it fucking your way." Hearing that kind of language in an open-kitchen environment was shocking. Customers can hear and see what happens in an open kitchen. If you cannot manage stress or communicate respectfully with your team, perhaps an open-kitchen setting is not the best place to demonstrate it. Mistakes can happen in any restaurant. What distinguishes a good establishment is how it responds to them. A simple acknowledgment, respectful communication, and attention to the customer's request would have made a significant difference. I am a chef myself, so I understand the pressure of a professional kitchen. That is precisely why I believe that technical experience means very little without communication, attention to detail, and emotional control. Thank you for the replacement turkey bacon, which was much better the second time. However, the overall experience fell short of the level of professionalism and hospitality I would expect from a restaurant. Good food and experienced chefs are not enough if basic customer requests, cleanliness, and professional conduct are overlooked.

I hadn't realized before visiting that it's a chain with locations in several states, including Florida. There's plenty of parking outside, and the restaurant itself is bright and nicely decorated with a modern farmhouse feel. When we arrived, we went to the front to ask for a table but had to wait behind a line of people who were paying their bills. Apparently, you can either pay at your table using a QR code or pay at the front before leaving. We used the QR code, which was convenient, but the setup at the front felt inefficient. We had to wait quite a while just to speak to the hostess even though the restaurant was about half empty and didn't seem particularly busy. Once seated, we noticed that the coffee cups already on our table were dirty. Our waiter, Nicholas, immediately offered to replace them with clean ones. Nicholas was pleasant, professional, and very accommodating throughout our meal and was definitely the highlight of our experience. He offered us coffee and left the pitcher at the table. It was around $4 and includes the pitcher, which I wish had been explained since we hadn't had a chance to look at the menu yet. The coffee itself was good, basic diner-style coffee. I would have preferred refrigerated cream or half-and-half to pour into it rather than the small individual creamers you typically get at a fast-food restaurant. For food, we ordered one of the summer special, an omelet, carrot cake pancakes, and the loaded potatoes. Everything was seasoned well. The summer special was mostly potatoes, and I would have preferred less potato and more steak and vegetables. When we mentioned it, Nicholas and the chef were very accommodating and brought us an extra side of steak, which we really appreciated. The carrot cake pancakes were good, but not particularly memorable. Surprisingly, the loaded potatoes with bacon and Parmesan cheese sauce were probably the most flavorful thing we ordered, although they're more of a side dish than a meal. Overall, the prices were lower than many other brunch spots in the area, and the location next to the outlets is very convenient. There were some things I liked, especially the service from Nicholas, but I don't think I would go out of my way to come back specifically for breakfast or brunch. It served its purpose that day, and Nicholas's kindness and attentiveness definitely made the experience better.

I ordered an extra container of fries because the image of the fries from the burger looked good. However, there was a white hair on the fries. I threw it away. Also, I ordered a tuna salad wrap, but they sent me a tuna salad sandwich instead. The photo for the green salad is also false advertisement and misleading. It shows there are cucumbers, olives and a bunch of other veggies. I got a container of chopped up and wilted romaine lettuce. If I wanted to eat just romaine lettuce, I would've chopped them up myself instead of paying 6 f**king dollars. I will never order from this place ever again. I don't recommend the food from Uptown. Misrepresentation and blatant lying from restaurants like this is absolutely disgusting.
