Wow! Wowie! I was…read morelooking for a breakfast place and this place did not disappoint. We stumbled onto this amazing breakfast place and had to try everything! We sat in a cozy table for 2 and the art was a plenty. We had the steak Fajita omelet, the French toast flight (paying a little extra to try ALL the flavors), side of catfish, and the seafood omelet. The Steak Fajitas Omelet was so flavorful. The meat was tender. The eggs were so cheesy. The hash browns were crispy and aplenty. The Seafood omelet was the rockstar that stole the show. There were 3 well sized shrimps sitting on a bed of lump crab meat on top of a fluffy mound of egg white omelet in a savory sauce that you almost want to lick the plate clean. We did order a side of catfish! Just because! Nicely fried with a seasoned breading with a side of hot sauce. To end our meal- we chose to do the super flight of French Toast- blueberry, strawberry, caramel, lemon and the butter cookie (seasonal flavor). I managed to take a bite of each one and I can see why this place is known for its French Toast. The drip coffee was the kind that you just couldn't stop with 1 cup. Our Server- Candace was so delightful as she described the menu and help us choose our meal. We clearly need to come back and try the other delicious food offerings. She made our experience here that much more memorable! She truly cares about her customers and it shows. We cannot wait to come back and support this family owned business.

First, the service was excellent. Our server, Shimashi, was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. She made us feel comfortable and really added to the experience. Service gets a BIG thumbs-up from me. My complimentary items through the Yelp event were the Wake 'n Bacon Burger (without bacon) with tater tots and an espresso martini made with tequila. The burger was delicious, the tots were crispy, and I really enjoyed the espresso martini. I also purchased an espresso shot separately. It did exactly what I needed it to do! I added a little raw sugar and creamer, and it perked me right up. I also purchased the Elderberry Lavender Spritz, and THAT was absolutely delicious. I used it as a mixer and added tequila. Perfect! I would absolutely order that again. It was probably one of my favorite drink discoveries of the visit. The atmosphere is bright, fun, and very photo-friendly. One of my favorite extras was their photo machine. You can take pictures with your friends right inside the restaurant and then have the finished photos sent directly to your email. We had entirely too much fun with that! It's a small detail, but it makes the experience feel a little more special and gives you something to remember your visit by. Overall, between the food, drinks, excellent service, and playful atmosphere, I had a really enjoyable visit. I would definitely return, especially for that Elderberry Lavender Spritz, another espresso when I need a little boost, and to explore more of the menu. Wake 'n Bacon was a vibe!

Can't really recommend the chicken & dumplings, as the flavors are intensely aggressive for what might reasonably be expected to be a comfort food/safe bet on the menu. Fries were good. Cinnamon roll thing was obviously the best thing we had but also, that should be expected. The waitstaff was nice and friendly (while hustling to multiple tables) so I have a hard time excusing the host's bad attitude. Will do my best to avoid repeat trips, unfortunately. GG's chicken shop next door is usually a home run though (and certainly the better option).

The staff were super friendly too and gave us some awesome recommendations, which definitely helped because there were so many things I wanted to try. I ordered the Harissa Shakshuka, it came with roasted peppers, onions, tomatoes, garbanzo beans, goat cheese, and two poached eggs, served with sourdough toast. When it came out, the presentation immediately caught my attention. The two poached eggs were sitting right on top of this beautiful, rich sauce, with the goat cheese scattered throughout. Once I cut into the eggs and that runny yolk mixed into everything underneath... wow. The flavor was outstanding. The tomatoes and roasted peppers gave the dish a deep, slightly sweet and savory base, while the harissa added a warm, smoky heat that slowly built with each bite. The garbanzo beans were soft and tender, adding this really nice texture. And the sourdough toast was perfect for this. I could scoop up the sauce, egg yolk, beans, and peppers all in one bite. That's when the dish really came together. This was a seriously delicious breakfast. Every bite had something going on, and I'd definitely order it again.

I went around 6:30pm on a weekday and things were pretty quiet- although this seemed to be popular for takeout, the interior was very cute and there was ample room for seating. They have an extensive menu of delicious sandwiches on homemade bread, so it was hard to pick just one! I opted for the roast beef sandwich, and it could have definitely lasted for two moderately sized meals. It took a bit longer than expected to come out, but it was perfectly toasted and truly made to order. The unsung hero of the sandwich was the rosemary ciabatta bread, which added that subtle extra flavor that would remind you this is a speciality spot. The avocado and grilled onions with melty cheese made for a well rounded rich flavor. I do think the beef could have been a tiny bit fresher and think a more flavorful aioli would have upped the sandwich, but overall it was still tasty and satisfying. I would definitely return to try more of the sandwiches and recommend paying a visit! I

Once seated it took a very long time for someone to come to take our order and when they did the food came out wrong. Having said that, the food was good. I had the chorizo hash which was tasty but a little sparse on the chorizo. My son had the Friend Chicken Benedict which he loved. My wife had a traditional egg and chicken sausage breakfast. She asked for hash browns and got fruit. When she pointed out that her order was incorrect the server reached into her plate and took the fruit cup off her plate while it was on the table and later brought a side of hash. Seemed kind of weird to have her reach into the plate after it was already in front of the customer. I give the service a 2 and the food a 4.

Happy Camper is such a vibe. This is the place you visit when you want a fun place to hangout in…read morethe Summer. It's hard to miss Happy Camper because the outside of the business has a massive shimmery camper on the signage. They normally have the windows open during the warmer months so you can hear the music before you walk up. Happy Camper is massive inside. They have a ton of seating for solo dining or a massive group. I've visited a few times with a variety of group sizes and I always recommend making a reservation because it can get really busy inside (especially if you have a large group). I have visited when it was emptier and I was able to get a seat in a reasonable time but when the weather is nice or the Cubs are playing it gets busy. I normally order a pizza whenever I visit Happy Camper. The pizza hasn't disappointed anytime I've gotten it. I typically stick with some form of the sausage and pepperoni pizza, maybe I'll add a vegetable but I rarely get the speciality pizza. Happy Camper's prices align with the surrounding businesses. I love the drinks at Happy Camper! They truly invest in making the speciality drinks look cute and taste good. They also offer seasonal drinks that allow you to spice up your visit. I'm looking forward to trying the Apple Cider Marg when I visit again!
