Loved the ratio of the abundance of gravy with the biscuit. The food was hot & came out quickly. Lily, our server, was great...attentive & friendly. Happy to say this establishment will definitely be in my brunch rotation. My only disappointment was the boozy drinks needed better options.

Our group decided on Coup, and it turned into a very, very competitive afternoon! I didn't get a chance to try the food, but the drinks we ordered kept us fueled. The space is large, yet it was about 99% full when we visited, which says a lot about how popular it is. It was my very first time at a board game café, and I had such a fun time.

Just a few of the games!

The Old School Family Dinner Still Lives!…read more I usually wait until I have been to a restaurant at least three times before publishing a review - that way I can be fair to both the restaurant and possible customers (anyone can have both good and bad days). So after a few visits over the past year (lock downs do get in the way) here goes Located in a strip mall off West 87th Street in Merriam, there is plenty of lighted off street parking and handicap access. Once inside you know you are in an old school family dinner. Booths line the sides and tables in the middle. Temptation Alert: You will have to pass the desert display on your way to your seat, so take a good look before ordering your meal! Should you let your eyes outpace your stomach, you can pick up that slice of pie to take home for a late snack (yes, I have done that too). Service has always been above average, but can drag a bit depending on demand. While I have had a couple of "mistakes" (over cooked burger and steak), they were rectified immediately and cheerfully. The menu pretty much covers everything you would expect in a dinner: all the breakfasts most everyone looks for, lunch specials, and dinners that run from light fare to steaks and meatloaf! With that in mind, I have never been disappointed in either the quality or quantity of any meal. My recommendations are Steak and Eggs for Breakfast along with Meatloaf for dinner. Prices are well in line with the neighborhood and similar restaurants. Considering recent lockdowns in the area, social distancing is easily covered, and all employees wear masks. They do have curbside take out and delivery. Do I recommend Pegah's? Yes, I think I am becoming a regular!

Sweet and savory done right, though heads up if you're dairy-sensitive -- that slaw is loaded.

Patrons around us who were seated after us had drinks and placed orders but no one spoke to us. Nobody even came close enough for me to say, "Hey! We're ready to order! Who's our server?"

The host, who had seated us, started to say, "Thanks for coming in!" but I stopped him and let him know we hadn't been waited on.

Me and my mini me decided to try somewhere different for breakfast this past weekend. I really liked this place. From the overall greeting from the staff to the time we sat down. And our waitress was very nice and was very attentive. I loved that they already had coffee cups on the table and a pitcher of water and water cups too. So you can refill your drink has much as you want without asking and waiting. Our food came out pretty quick. The french toast was to die for. It just melted in your mouth. The eggs had a very fresh and fluffy taste to them plus the cheese! :) Our overall experience was great!! We will probaly be back this weekend!! read more

Ronnie's, a haven of nostalgia and warmth, welcomes its fellow patrons into the embrace of classic American family brunch. The waitstaff, clad in smiles as bright as the morning sun, guides you to a cozy booth where memories are crafted. Amidst the clinking of cutlery and gentle hum of conversations, Ronnie's exudes a familial charm that transcends mere dining. As you sip on your steaming cup of coffee, you realize that Ronnie's is not just a brunch spot; it's a portal to a bygone era where every meal is a celebration. read more

Truly one of the best breakfasts in my 44 years. May I recommend the "Titanic" omelet that lives up to it's name.

Then topped with a split biscuit "of course" and sausage gravy. read more

They absolutely have the processes of this little restaurant honed to perfection, and even during a busy lunch time kept things humming so that there was minimal wait time (to order, for the food to be brought out, and to pay for our meal). Many, MANY thanks to Robert, who seated us, took our order, brought our food out, and settled our bill. He was friendly, efficient, and so welcoming. It was a joy to watch him work; he made sure to greet each and every customer coming in the door, and was consistently so upbeat and positive. And many, MANY thanks to Tony at the grill! Our food was FANTASTIC!! I have high standards for Mediterranean food, and the falafel wrap was totally delicious! The falafel itself was perfectly cooked, with a crispy outer layer, and the other ingredients in the wrap were chosen for a perfect melding of flavors. I had the side salad, with homemade Thai peanut dressing, and it was equally tasty. My husband had the patty melt, which came on homemade bread (!) and was, per his report, perfectly done. His side was tater tots, and we shared them. They were crisp and light without being greasy, and addictively yummy! The restaurant is in a strip center; it's not very big, but the tables are well placed so that no one feels cramped. The open reception area and kitchen/grill make it easy for the staff to respond to what's happening in the dining room (e.g., new folks arriving). It was a truly memorable meal, and we'll definitely be back! Again, MANY thanks to Robert and Tony for such a great lunch. We appreciate you!

It was fine just not to my liking. My wife got a breakfast quesadilla and it was stuffed full and was better than mine.

For instance, she sat us and as we were sitting down she asked if we knew what we wanted. Not rude or anything like that we just thought, hmmm that was interesting. We told no we needed to look at the menu and it was all fine. I just think she had a quirky personality, nothing off putting. We kind of laughed about it and went on. More of a story than anything else that we talk about and get a kick out of. Overall the place was ok. We would come back if we were close around that area and hungry but we probably wouldn't drive across town to eat there.

These…read morepatties are clearly fresh, hand-formed, and cooked to order nothing like the frozen, pre formed disks from a school lunch line. If yours tasted bland, maybe you missed that this place leans into fresh ingredients over drowning everything in sauces. Not every burger needs mayo or mustard; some let the beef and toppings speak for themselves. As for the soggy bottom bun yes, fresh veggies release moisture. That happens in seconds anywhere if you don't eat quickly. But calling the whole experience "meh" while admitting you're going back for breakfast? That tells me the place clearly has redeeming qualities. You even said burger preferences are subjective, yet your review reads like an objective takedown. Bottom line: If you want a greasy, sauce slathered chain burger, go to Five Guys. If you want a solid, no-frills non chain burger with good service and plenty of seating (as you noted), this place delivers. And clearly, you agree it's worth a second visit.

When it came to the food, it was meh at best. We got the jalapeno burger and the avocado burger. The patties are reminiscent of cafeteria burgers in school.

So we won't come here again for that. Burger preferences are subjective, so just because it wasn't for us doesn't mean you can't try for yourself. We do plan to go back to try the breakfast items though.
