I stopped here for breakfast before my flight since I got here way early and had plenty of time. The place was not busy and I took a seat at a table with menu already there. The server/bartender came over to take my order. I got an ice water and ordered the Lumberjack Breakfast ($18.99 plus tax), served in 12 minutes after ordering. The huge plate had 2 semi thick blueberry pancakes, 2 eggs (got scrambled), 2 bacon strips, 2 sausage links and seasoned deep fried homefries (fresh cut potatoes), ketchup at table and breakfast syrup provided. This breakfast was very filling to eat and nice and hot. The homefries and blueberry pancakes were especially filling. I got one of the pancakes in a to go box with a syrup cup provided to eat on the flight. I was able to scan the QR code on the table to pay on my phone.
Overall, a good filling breakfast before a fairly long day of delayed & rebooked flights, a domino effect from the bad weather the night before. The service was adequate and the server wished "safe travels" to each customer including to the pilots sitting at the next table. The menu seems trimmed down from the previous place The Local, but at least Queen City Diner offers breakfast all day. read more
