The server was working her butt off, and knew everyone's name that came in. It was like family circulating in and out throughout the time we were there. I liked the vibes. I had an Irish omelet which consisted of corned beef inside the omelet and American potatoes. There were some crispy bits that were great. I enjoyed this. My mom had the same but with crispy hash browns. I would recommend this place. It waa warm and inviting.

The decor is very eclectic and busy. The quality is middle of the road for breakfast food, not bad but not outstanding. I can't speak to anything else on the menu other than breakfast items. Not terrible if you want a sit down breakfast in the area and don't want gas station food or McDonald's.

We have been going to Mac's for about nine years now. We usually go for breakfast. Their food and…read morewait staff are great. However, they have been raising their prices every year. So that is my reason for only 4 stars. We went there in January of this year for breakfast. My wife had a bacon and cheese omelette, I had a sausage and cheese omelette, both come with toast and hash browns. I also had a side of sausage gravy. I had coffee, my wife had a soda. The bill was $42, we left a $7 tip which brought our total to $49 for breakfast. They charge a 3% fee for debit or credit cards, that takes you to $50 for breakfast. I understand that food prices have been going up, along with the egg shortage due to the bird flu. However, the egg shortage is over, but the prices at Mac's haven't come down. During the shortage, eggs were $6 - $8 a dozen or more depending where you shopped. Today I can buy a case of 60 gage free large eggs at Wal Mart for $9.56, that's about $.016 per egg. The omelettes at Mac's are made with 3 eggs. So that's $0.48 for a 3 egg omelette plus the sausage and cheese. For $9.56, I can make 20-3 egg omelettes. Also, I'm sure restaurants pay less as they are buying their supplies in bulk.

My eggs were cooked to order; the bacon was hot and exactly how I like it; & the dollar sized pancakes were thick and perfect. This is a smaller place and that size and the friendly people made this a place I will return to.

You don't just survive on hopes and dreams. You must have good food. The lunch plate is more than enough food but if you're feeling super hungry then get the dinner portion. Potatoes and gravy are amazing as well! Wait staff is composed of friendly locals and the interior makes you feel like you're at your grandmother's house. It's heavenly all around.

St Helen's does not have a lot of options for lunch and my friend said he had good experiences before. My friend insisted that the portobello fries were good and we ordered the appetizer - and he was right! They were actually very good! The batter was light on them so I appreciated that as it did not make it too heavy. My hubby ordered just chili for lunch and he was surprised it had as much spicy kick to it as it did - and that was a huge plus for him. I ordered a salad with seared tuna - I forgot to get a picture of it but there was a decent amount of tuna. The salad itself was fresh and crisp with a good Asian dressing.
