Did you know they have a drive-thru? If not, you should, it's been my saving grace each and…read moreeverytime I visit with the doggos. The ladies are incredibly patient. They make sure my dog(s) have pup cups, help me decifer the menu (it's huge), and everything received seems to be treated with care. Their menu is truly a world tour boasting everything from Cafe Cubano to San Sebastián cheesecake. Today I chose two items...well maybe three depending on who's counting. Their avocado toast is served as thick slice of sourdough topped with cream cheese, guac, and a fried egg (with the option of hot sauce on the side). Their key lime pie is personal sized, and great for those who are sensitive to tart. I'd say, it's a creamy cheesecake with a lime glaze providing a spritz of key lime on top. As for the third item, Linus (my dog) gives their pup cup 5 stars. That being said these folks remain a reliable and delicious-worth a return visit in my book.

Typically when I have a bad experience with a company, I improve my communication in the future and…read moreif all else fails I just pick another place. However, it is obvious that the person that started Barbarossa has a great vision, and we have been going since they were just about to open their second shop. The owner provides above average products yet sadly it is almost always ruined by the incompetence of the hired staff. So I will be sharing my experience today, as well as the pattern of the most baffling interactions I have had over the last year. Today, my partner ordered the breakfast bagel (this comes with avocado), I ordered a croissant with only eggs over hard (this doesn't come with avocado according to their menu). Also it is necessary to ask for eggs over hard otherwise the egg whites will be oozing off your croissant. And I mean this with full disrespect because while cooking is a skill that requires development. How. On. Earth. Do you serve someone a raw egg? It is clearly visible, you don't need a food thermometer, it might literally be the simplest thing to cook. You can practice at home for next to nothing! When you ask for eggs for hard here, they will be close to over medium if you're lucky. Today, since they put avocado on my partners bagel I guess they decided to just add it to mine because why not? Well why not is because it's not on the menu, and I did not ask for it and I'm paying for the item I asked for. Not your random remix. Additionally, every time I order, I make sure to specify I want my matcha UNSWEET. Every time they say "ma'am it doesn't come with sweetner" and I hold my tongue because I know well enough if I don't say that, they add SWEETNER. And since my husband ordered this morning and didn't say unsweet, my Matcha ended up sweet. Once? Fine. Twice? Everyone makes mistakes. It's a drink idc. But every single time unless the customer specifies? Are these people being trained? Do they have the capacity to be trained? And sure you might be thinking wow that's harsh. So I shall share a previous experience. I wanted to purchase a lanyard, we all know a lanyard is about 20 inches long right? Well I asked to buy a lanyard in the drive thru, I was told they didn't sell lanyards, not that they were out of stock. No according to this employee they don't sell them, never have. Mind you I had just seen it in the store a few days earlier. I'm not one to argue so I acted as if it were my mistake. A few days later I stopped inside to see if they had any left in store. They had several, I took it to the register and asked to purchase the lanyard. She said "you mean our dog leashes!" ........... I thought she was pulling a little joke. She wasn't. I'm sorry have you seen someone walk a dog? Have you ever seen a dog leash shorter than 2 feet? Have you ever seen a dog? She genuinely begins to argue with me because she can't find the button for dog leashes in the system. (DUH girl! Because the company you work at doesn't sell dog leashes. How do I know that and you don't?) The manager walked over and chose the LANYARD button to which this young lady says snarkily "oh I guess it is a lanyard". The manager looked bewildered at her and I thought surely he will now realize how lacking his staff is. However that wasn't the case. So I beg. Please train them. Fire them. Replace them with robots please. I don't care. I'm even happy to give them gentle instruction on how to do their job if you'll at least teach them not to talk back. Don't assume they know what a lanyard, or a croissant, or a cup is because it just might be to the failure of your company. Bonus: a lot of these kids seem to not know that the source of sugar is what they call "flavoring" :) If I don't want sugar, it feels like common sense that I don't want vanilla with sugar in it?

Great coffee selection as well - pretty much anything you would ever want plus breakfast cocktails. Can't recommend this place any HIGHER!!

We sat inside and were helped right away from our server. We ordered some coffee, pancakes, chicken fried steak with eggs, and chilaquiles. The portions here are giant! We could have definitely shared! Overall, the food was pretty bland and didn't have much flavor. The chilaquiles were more like nachos because there was hardly any sauce, so we had to ask for an additional side. The chicken fried steak needed at least some salt but definitely some seasoning too.

I think it would have been a better experience for myself AND my kiddos if not for the staff member…read morewe had the displeasure of encountering. Let me explain... 1) we arrived prior to 10:30, but didn't get helped until after. When trying to order breakfast - we were rudely told that it was over. Fair enough - we were here though, and there was nothing displayed sharing that info nor the time. 2) for three kids and myself - it was nearly $80 and we didn't order the most expensive items. If I'm being honest - the food left much to be questioned. My sons asked for their burgers to be well done and came out medium at best. When my dessert came out (a slice of carrot cake), it toppled over on the plate and the server/host (a younger male) went to grab it with his bare hands. When I said please don't touch my food - he caught a bit of an attitude and huffed. 3) there was only one family there besides us and the dining area was far from clean. There were a couple of tables with dishes remaining on them (that were prime plane-viewing spots, but weren't available to use because of) no sense. As many times as I've been through Hooks - I'd not ever patronized Aviator's. So, as a first-time visitor, I expected more and better. Unfortunately, my children and I didn't experience what others have and as such - not sure we will return. I nor my kids didn't find it worth the cost of the meal - regardless of how cool or great the viewing experience was.

There wasn't a cool design, but that's ok, it tasted great! And that's most important to me. The Fritaffle was quite heavy, I believe it's a blend of potato's and bacon and some other stuff into the waffle, which was really interesting. I didn't know there was a back entrance and upstairs seating with a balcony! I really admired the look the the place, and felt really cozy here. I also noticed they donate meals to those in need. What a great place and great vibes! I'll be back next time I'm in town! Highly recommend

We split the breakfast sandwich panini and one of their giant cinnamon rolls. The rosemary potatoes were perfectly seasoned with an incredibly velvety texture, and dipping them into their signature Victory Sauce was absolute perfection. The breakfast sandwich was outstanding, with thick, meaty, flavorful bacon on a buttery croissant that tasted like it had just come out of the oven. We paired everything with a caramel hazelnut iced coffee that was perfectly balanced, and the cinnamon roll had just the right amount of sweetness without being overwhelming. What really stood out was the quality. Everything is made from scratch with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and you can absolutely taste the difference. On our way out, we could not resist taking home two pies and the cutest strawberry Pop-Tart covered in patriotic sprinkles. They looked almost too pretty to eat. The food alone would have earned five stars, but the hospitality made the experience unforgettable. The owner was incredibly genuine and treated every customer like a VIP. She has a true heart for veterans and took the time to personally thank my husband for his service. That kind of kindness is rare and speaks volumes about the people behind this wonderful business. Victory Pie Co. has earned loyal customers in us. We cannot wait to come back and work our way through the rest of the menu.

This time I tried one of their specials - a soup and sandwich combo for $8.95 - and it completely exceeded expectations. The soup was basically a deconstructed pot pie with a homemade biscuit on top, and the portion was huge. I happened to get the last serving from the pot, so they hooked it up with a little extra instead of letting it go to waste, which I definitely appreciated. What really stood out was how hearty it was. There was way more protein than you'd expect from a typical soup, so it was actually filling and satisfying, not just something light on the side. Definitely a great value for the price.

Meanwhile, I went in a completely different direction with the **Greek Salad**, and OMG it hit the spot. Fresh, loaded with toppings, and every bite had a little bit of everything. I have zero complaints about that salad. Between the friendly service, bright atmosphere, good food, and a menu with enough variety for everyone to find something, this was an easy win for us. The Toasted Yolk has officially been added to our breakfast rotation. We'll definitely be back and judging by that menu, I already have some exploring to do.
