    Joe's Meat 'n Eggs
    Christian P.

    Really good breakfast. Fast and convenient. The service was great. Would recommend to give it a try.

    The fish was good but the macaroni and cheese was just butter noodles with melted shredded cheese in the microwave as well as fried cabbage was burnt and tasted burnt. Not kid friendly due to nothing on menu for children! My first experience was wack and the lady who cooks is ghetto, I'll take my money else where!

    In town for hockey. Stopped here based on reviews before the game. Staff was wonderful!Food was DELICIOUS!! Best home fries I've ever had. Over easy eggs were PERFECT! French toast was also amazing. And they make the sausage in house. HIGHLY recommend the food, but I would get take out if I ever went back. There is hardly any room to sit inside and it's not clean AT ALL. And the neighborhood/parking situation is difficult. It's on a triangle shaped intersection. Cleanliness and difficulty in/out are the reasons for not giving it a full 5 stars.

    If I could give 10 stars I would. We stumbled upon this culturally rich and vibey black-owned…read morerestaurant today. The ambiance was beautiful inside and out. The Tuskegee Airmen mural on the side of the building told me that I was in the right place. Upon entering it reminded me of both my NYC and southern roots- from the beautiful woodwork, to the vibrant artwork, to the immaculate service from Estelle and her husband. They gave us a tour as well as a history rundown of the business and its owners. Now- on to the food. CHILEEEE!!! We started off with the spicy empanadas. They were delicious and not too spicy. They were juicy and seasoned to perfection. The sauce that comes with it is delicious! Me and my best friend had the boss lady- I had it with scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese grits and lawd that is the best catfish I've ever had. It was perfectly seasoned and perfectly fried. Reminded me of my nana's cooking! She had her grits with gruyere and she said it was phenomenal. Now my man had the burger and that thang was beautifully plated and he said it was delicious and cooked just as he asked! He also ordered the roasted potatoes and that boy took his time with them thangs, okay?! This meal was eaten in SILENCE (IYKYK). Lastly, we had the peanut butter chocolate cake. When I tell you I wanted to take my bra off and sit in a secluded room with that whew. I can't wait to go back with more family and friends.

The last item to come out was the fruit, which should have been the quickest out. Luckily, we were there for a girls' day and weren't in a rush, but be prepared. Food was clearly made to order and made with love! Egg on the burger was a little overcooked for what I asked for and same for the special peach cobbler french toast, but both were flavorful. The house was built around 1913 and was renovated to keep that calm elevated aesthetic. Chairs were very comfortable! There's artwork for sale to support local even more. Once a month they do a special dinner pairing with music. I'd give it 4.2 overall.

    My stepdad requested First Watch for Father's Day breakfast this year (2026), and since it was his…read morefirst visit, we happily made the plan. Knowing Father's Day would probably be busy, I decided to do my homework ahead of time. Before we even left the house, I used First Watch's online "Check In" feature to get our name on the list while we were driving there. The website estimated a 10 to 20 minute wait and instructed us to let the hostess know when we arrived. Perfect! Or so I thought... About 15 minutes later, we walked through the doors...into absolute chaos. The lobby was PACKED with people waiting for tables despite the fact that roughly half the dining room appeared to be sitting empty. I squeezed my way through the crowd, made it to the hostess stand, gave her my name and mentioned that I'd already checked in online. "Great," she said. "It'll be 20 to 25 minutes." Wait...what? So the online check-in that said we'd be waiting 10 to 20 minutes...didn't actually accomplish anything? If I'd known we'd still be waiting another half hour after arriving, we honestly would have chosen somewhere else that accepted reservations or true call-ahead seating. The online check-in created expectations that simply weren't met. About 20 minutes later, we were finally seated. Unfortunately, things didn't improve. We sat for another 15 minutes before our waitress stopped by to take drink orders. We decided to order all of our food immediately because we weren't confident we'd see her again anytime soon. Good decision! The coffee arrived fairly quickly. The water...tap water, not fancy water, not bottled water, not water that required any preparation other than being put into a glass bottle and carried to the table, showed up about 10 minutes later. Here's what we ordered: Million Dollar Bacon ($6.29) - four slices of hardwood-smoked bacon glazed with brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne and syrup. This was absolutely phenomenal! If nothing else, order this (or learn to make it at home so you can avoid an excessive wait at First Watch to eat it). Sweet, smoky, just enough heat...this absolutely lived up to the hype! Power Wrap ($11.49) - egg whites, turkey, spinach, mushrooms and mozzarella in a sun-dried tomato basil tortilla with fresh fruit. The wrap itself was really good. The fruit was a mixed bag. The grapes were great, but the pineapple was still hard and noticeably underripe. At this point in the meal, I wasn't surprised and definitely wasn't going to try to get it fixed. Lemon Ricotta Pancakes ($13.29) - these were also really good. The lemon curd completely stole the show and made the pancakes. The menu advertised seasonal berries, which turned out to be strawberries. They were perfectly fine, though I probably would have expected blueberries this time of year. The Works Omelet (FREE BECAUSE THE ORDER WAS NOT CORRECT) - this was my stepdad's Father's Day breakfast. He ordered it WITHOUT onions. It arrived with EXTRA onions. By that point, our waitress had disappeared again, so rather than wait another 20 minutes for a remake, I flagged down another employee near the kitchen. I explained that we'd waited long enough already and simply wanted the omelet removed from the bill instead of remade. To their credit, they handled that professionally and removed it without any argument. While I had someone's attention, I also requested plates for the Million Dollar Bacon appetizer that had been sitting on our table for about 15 minutes and asked if my mom's meal could please be brought out since everyone else's food had already arrived quite a while earlier. Our final bill came to just over $44 after tax and tip. Even after everything that happened, I still left our waitress a 25% tip. It was Father's Day, the restaurant was clearly overwhelmed, and I try to assume people are doing the best they can with what they've got. That said...it was obvious something wasn't working. Whether they were understaffed, overwhelmed by the Father's Day crowd, or simply having an off day, the entire experience felt disorganized from beginning to end. The online check-in wasn't accurate, service was painfully slow, food came out at different times, one meal was prepared incorrectly, and our server disappeared for long stretches throughout the meal. Ironically, the food itself was actually pretty good. If I were reviewing only the Million Dollar Bacon, it would easily earn five stars. Unfortunately, restaurants are more than just food. For me, the overall experience matters just as much. There are simply too many excellent local breakfast and brunch spots to justify returning after an experience like this. I'm glad my stepdad's omelet was removed from the bill, and I appreciate that the staff made that right, but I left more frustrated than impressed. First Watch may have just had a really bad Father's Day. But based on my first experience, I don't think I'll be back to find out.

I had the Ethiopian Gucci French press, which was absolutely delicious. My girlfriend had a latte which was equally delicious. I opted for the rise and shine with poached eggs, dress greens the waffle and ham. The eggs were absolutely perfect. The greens were good, except there really wasn't any citrus dressing on them, but it worked out with my meal. The Belgian waffle was light and fluffy came with butter, which was more than enough for me. My friend appreciated the hollandaise on her Benedict. She said it was very good. Overall the meal was very satisfying. We had prompt service. The food came out rather quickly. It was hot. The waitress checked on us periodically without being overbearing. We were able to pay via QR code from the receipt, which was nice. We were in and out in about an hour. Has ample parking. Easy in and out of the lot onto 11/15 . There is seating inside while you're waiting for a table and a little bit of seating in the vestibule. They make a quick turnaround of tables. I would recommend it for brunch. Definitely try to get there earlier than 10 o'clock. Overall was a pretty good dining experience.

    Brisket Burnt End Scramble -- 9/10…read more This was a seriously loaded breakfast. The plate had tender, smoky brisket burnt ends mixed with scrambled eggs, melted cheddar, BBQ sauce and crispy onions, all over a generous portion of hash browns, with toast on the side. The combination of the smoky brisket, creamy eggs, melted cheese and crunchy fried onions gave every bite something different. The burnt ends were definitely the star of the plate, and the portion was large enough that you won't leave hungry. The Pumpkin Spice Latte was a great match for the breakfast. It had espresso, pumpkin spice and milk, topped with pumpkin cold foam and whipped cream. The cold foam really made this one stand out. Instead of being just another overly sweet pumpkin drink, you get that creamy pumpkin flavor

Unfortunately, we weren't seated until 11:32, making the actual wait closer to 45 minutes. Our server was friendly, and since we'd had plenty of time to look over the menu while waiting, we were able to order right away. Unfortunately, it then took another 40 minutes for our food to arrive. We're not sure where the delay occurred--whether it was the kitchen, staffing, or something else--but between waiting for a table and then waiting for our food, the entire process felt excessively long. The good news is that the food itself was really good. My husband ordered the burnt ends egg dish, and I had the praline pancakes, which were excellent. We also ordered sausage as a side, and that was great as well. We had no complaints about the quality of the food. Would we come back? Maybe. If we did, we would probably try to arrive before 8 a.m. or after the main breakfast rush. The restaurant is fairly small, and based on our experience, it seemed to struggle with getting guests seated and served efficiently during a busy period. Plenty of busy breakfast restaurants and diners manage to turn tables and get food out quickly, so I think The Hershey Pantry could really benefit from looking at its service and kitchen workflow during peak hours. The food is good enough to warrant another visit, but waiting nearly 45 minutes for a table followed by another 40 minutes for food makes it difficult to recommend visiting during their busiest times.
