Spring Break 03/12/2024
This was my first visit at this establishment but my husband's second visit. I've come across this establishment on Yelp quite a few times when searching for breakfast/brunch restaurants in my area. I've even driven past it quite a few times in the past and was sort of iffy about trying them out. However, it turns out, I quite rather enjoyed the food and service.
Firstly, this is not an upscale breakfast/brunch establishment but rather your typical local diner that serves breakfast and lunch menu items. The dining room is pretty clean and well-kept. Customer service was excellent! Our server, Rodolfo, was very welcoming, friendly, and attentive during our entire visit! He greeted us as we walked in and told us to find a table wherever we would like to be seated and that he would be with us momentarily. I absolutely appreciate great customer service, especially when I'm spending my hard earned money patronizing any establishment. It makes me want to continue to come back and spend more money. Rodolfo brought us a menu and took our drink orders, in which I ordered a hot cup of coffee and hubby ordered orange juice. He offered me various choices of cream to accompany my cup of coffee and I went with my favorite flavor, hazelnut. My coffee was actually hot and not lukewarm like I've been served at other establishments in the past. So, I definitely appreciate that. Thanks Rodolfo.
Secondly, for our food, I ordered an omelet consisting of spinach, mushroom, jalapeños, tomatoes, and onions, with turkey sausage and hash brown on the side. I really enjoyed my breakfast! The hash brown stole the show being that it was authentically prepared homemade style. The spinach and mushrooms that were on my omelet were very fresh, which was so refreshing. I love fresh vegetables rather than old withered ones, which sometimes I've had different restaurants try to get over on me by serving me some old worn out vegetables. But not here. My only complaint is that they do not serve avocado or cilantro, two ingredients that I love on my omelets. However, the food was still delicious and enjoyable.
Furthermore, my husband ordered a waffle, scrambled eggs, and turkey sausage (well done). He enjoyed everything except for the waffle and complained to me that it was too soggy and spongy-like making it difficult to cut into it, instead of possessing a crunchy texture and easy to break apart. He said that it was as if he had to wrestle with the waffle to break it apart, which could only lead to one's imagination that the waffles served at this establishment are frozen waffles that are heated in a microwave versus waffles that are prepared on a waffle maker. However, he said that the eggs were scrambled to perfection without any of the brown scorching that he so despises and without all the wet residue on his plate because the eggs have been undercooked. The orange juice was nice and cold and very refreshing.
Overall, hubby and I enjoyed our dining experience at Roy's Breakfast and Brunch diner. The food was served in nice portions and was hot and fresh. The ambiance is moderate noise with diners conversing over a hot meal. The dining area and overall presentation of the restaurant was pretty neat and clean, so no complaints there. Parking is plentiful as it is in a small business strip with other businesses. The place was not busy at all when my husband and I first arrived. However, as we were dining, more and more patrons began to walk through the door. So, the place can get busy around a certain time of day. I believe it was around 9:30-10:00 am at the time of our visit. I like this place and will return. Highly recommended for those who enjoy local diners that serve delicious somewhat authentic hot breakfast/brunch. read more
