This place is clearly a local favorite as the small parking lot was full, but we lucked out as someone was pulling out as we arrived. The service was top notch! We were greeted by a friendly young woman who seated us right away in a 2 person booth. The place is your classic stainless steel exterior and the inside was packed with happy patrons. The people in the booth next to us said they rarely dine out but they frequent Georgie's for their food. We were served by 3 different young women who were super friendly and professional. Before we got our food I was thinking I would come back for the service alone. Now the food. I ordered Georgie's omelette with home fries. 5/5. Excellent omelette and though the home fries were just potatoes they were cooked with some crunchy bits that simply elevated them. Laura got the eggs Benedict and she loved it. 5/5. We also ordered the buckwheat pancakes with blueberries and bananas. These were the best pancakes I've ever eaten 5/5! On top of it they serve organic food and locally sourced ingredients. The diversity of their staff was another added feature. This place is special!!! Laura and I agreed that it was the best meal we ate during our New Haven weekend. I would go on a 1.5 hour road trip for this place. Top notch!

Very cute vibe, neighborhood breakfast spot done to perfection. Our waitress was awesome and the food came out extremely quickly. I assembled a "hungry person" style breakfast by ordering their eggs, bacon, and home fries and then adding a short stack of their famous cinammon roll pancakes. My wife had eggs and home fries and enjoyed hers. I absolutely loved everything, the quality is very high! Eggs cooked perfectly, bacon was crispy, and the potatoes were well seasoned. The cinnamon roll pancakes are divine! I don't have much of a sweet tooth but I definitely have a tooth for these pancakes! Looking forward to returning the next time we're in town!

I asked what about Mr. Pibb, she didn't know. led me to believe she was new so wanted to cut them some slack. My son ordered a sprite, she comes by and says they are out of sprite, son says just water then. Sprite still charged on the bill. Son had chocolate chip pancakes which get delivered with no silverware or syrup offered. I don't argue the 2 dollar sprite charge and still tipped 6 bucks feeling generous. Give the filled out receipt to the old lady up front with it clearly filled out 54.75 + 6.00 = 60.75, old lady says what is this i can't make it out is that a sixty dollar tip? I say no it's six bucks she asks me to make my 6.00 look clearer. Again food was good, daughter had a BLT, said it was good, Wife had a grilled cheese, said it was good, but the cheese could've been melted more. The fries were real good.

The biggest setback for us was the service. Our server wasn't very attentive and spent the entire time conversing with every other couple (and we were the only gay people there so it felt discriminatory dare we say?). He didn't check on us, didn't offer us drinks and didn't talk to us at all, but everyone else was getting a laugh and a chuckle out of him. There were also very very minor microaggressions we noticed but they were so micro, we didn't really feel as though we could say anything. The place is very cute though, it has a nice cutesie vibe. Unfortunately, we likely won't be back. Our general ratings: Food- 8.3 Service- 2.5 Comeback ability- 1.5
