I haven't been to a location in almost 10 years so suffice to say I was very excited to come back! I got my usual signature berry bliss waffle and it was delightful. However it was outshined by the strawberry colada smoothie that was DEMOLISHED. My husband killed the cookie dough waffle, he got an espresso, and I ordered a side of bacon and another smoothie to go it was THAT GOOD!! I'm pretty sure we were greeted by the manager and assistant manager. Great service, great and BUSY location (I suspect they all are like this. They're just wonderful!) My husband said I didn't overhype it (even though I was drooling while I was describing this place to him lol) that it was a good call and he would go again. :) We'll see you next time! Thank you for the best trip down memory lane.

If ever there was a classic old school diner, this is the place. It's not really old but the décor…read moreis so '50s, you can just imagine greasers pulling up in their hotrods and swaggering inside. The best seats in the house are at the counter, where you can banter with the staff and watch the action on the grill. The owner and his staff are super-friendly and accommodating. On this visit, we were with a large group seated in the smaller dining room next to the gaming room. The restaurant was full and the kitchen got backed up; a few in our group did not receive their food until after others had finished their meals. You get a ton of food; most lunches include a bowl of soup, fries and slaw. On a previous visit, I ordered a chicken Philly sandwich that was messy to eat but okay. This time, I began with beef barley soup that tasted like it came out of a red and white can, but the LA wrap was a winner and the accompanying fries were perfect. My Missus gave the Meatloaf Special 5 stars.

The Gyros was recommended, and it was a good tip! Maybe the best I've had outside of Greektown here in Chicago. They touted their home-made soups, and the BeefBarley proved they weren't lying. Great Coffee as well. It's a homey atmosphere, most friendly. Tisha was a great server and the owner, Anna was very gracious. Alas, it's quite a cruise from Stately Breakwind Manor, so I don't know how much of a regular I'll become at Teddy's but it sure ain't because of the cooking which was grand! The onliest bugaboo-the parking lot is kind of small, and the place was packed. Had to circle for awhile and wait for someone to leave. Worth the wait, though!

My husband and I went to Sweet Orange Pancake House and Cafe with some friends on a Sunday morning…read more When we arrived a 11:30 the restaurant and outside eating area were completely full. The good news was that the wait was only about 5 minutes for our group of nine. They have an extensive menu. I had the tiramisu biscotti pancakes. The pancakes were light and fluffy but a little dry which was easily solved with syrup. The tiramisu topping was fantastic. The scoop lasted the whole order. My husband had the crunchy churro French toast. This was loaded with cinnamon and had a great crunch. The restaurant was bright and had a relaxed vibe. I highly recommend Sweet Orange Pancake House and Cafe!

Ate here a couple Sundays ago and, as expected, it was packed. We arrived around 1 PM and had to…read morewait outside, but that wasn't surprising since this place is always busy. The space is pretty small, so it can feel cramped inside, and prices are definitely on the higher side. Prices are on the higher side, but the chicken wrap with sweet potato fries was definitely worth it -- fresh, flavorful, and still good later that night. My daughter also loved the peanut butter latte. The steak protein bowl was just okay but not for the price (the sriracha garlic mayo was overpowering, so I'd recommend getting it on the side). We also tried the omelette, Philly steak sandwich, and potato pancake platter -- good, but nothing too special.

There is an entrance/ exit in both the front and back of the restaurant. There is even a video gaming gambling room discreetly placed on one side.

However, we came back because we've been the other first watch locations and truly enjoyed the food. Our waiter this day was super nice and friendly, so no complaints whatsoever and the food came out very quickly. My only complaints here have been perhaps I've only realized it now is that they give you the coffee carafe they give you the water Kara and then you have to further serve yourself for the rest of the meal. Then, if you have leftovers, they give you the box and you have to go pack it yourself. If I have to do this amount of work myself, then why am I tipping a server who only came to actually take my order because I completely different group of people actually brought my plates and a completely different group of people cleaned off the table and the plates. Wow, this is not necessarily a crime or unique to first watch. I will say that delicious food is only enhanced by incredible service and experience. So they really need to up their game.

My husband describes it like this, "it was like going to a surprise party in our honor". I know it sounds over the top, but it was remarkable enough for me to take the time to write this. Eating out has become so expensive that it's more of a treat and when your experience is positive like this, I think it's important to point out.

They were trying to rush us out of the restaurant. While my dad was trying to give the order, the waitress was over talking him.

There were ample hash browns cooked very nicely and the country fried steak was tender and well seasoned. It had a bit of a black pepper flavor. I also paid a bit extra for specialty pancakes because I am a huge fan of the red velvet pancakes. They are sweet and decadent but I can never pass up the opportunity. My daughter ordered the Açaí bowl which was a large portion and had ample ingredients with fruit and granola. It was nicely frozen and fresh. It was more than enough to fill her. They offer a nice selection of beverages and I took advantage of the Bloody Mary that was flavorful and tasty. The ambience is welcoming and vibrant and the staff collaborates nicely to make sure your needs are met. Solid and attentive service but no intrusive. A very solid choice for breakfast with plenty of choices to select from.
