Eggs bacon and hash browns.
Richard H.

Located across the street from the Residence Inn (airport). This is a small restaurant, but excellent communication from your server. Affordable pricing, and delicious breakfast items. I recommend their 2 egg, bacon, hash browns, with toast for $10.59! I recommend adding coffee and upgrading your hash browns with ham and cheese!

Breakfast menu

Myranda moved like there were no customers and she was bored. I waited probably 20 minutes to put in my order, which was only that fast because I started stopping people as they went by me to ask to order. She took my order like it was an annoyance. Then, when the food was ready she tried to give me a different table's order. After my meal I saw a new customer sitting and looking around for a long time, also waiting for someone to acknowledge him; meanwhile Myranda ambled back-and-forth past him looking bored but not acknowledging him. The other staff members were hustling as if it were the packed 10am Sunday morning that it was -- especially Lydia who was expediting and moving full speed like all the cooks and everyone else. This was my second visit, the first time was awesome with a server named Jamie. Seems the trick is to come when she's working. The food was solid. The ambience was what you'd expect of a waffle house, kind of lower cost acceptable.

2-egg breakfast

If you're staying at one of the adjacent hotels and don't have a car, Waffle House is your main choice for breakfast. I'd never been to one, but a former co-worker from the south has use to rave about the place. So today was my first Waffle House experience. I was expecting something like a Dennys. In reality, it's closer to Mel's Diner (the old TV show, I've just dated myself!). The place is tiny. Menu is limited to the basics - eggs, hash browns (or grits), toast, and of course a waffle. Served quickly with a little grease on the plate. By today's standards it's inexpensive. Under $20 for my husband and I. I got 2-eggs/hash/toast; he got the All American (?) which basically included choices from everything in the menu. One OJ. For just under $20 before tip. The staff was very friendly & seemed to be having a great time singing along to whatever songs were playing. Not bad when you just need a quick & easy meal!

Flys everywhere

Flys everywhere, ghetto employees trying to fight each other, empty building (most likely because of the service), it took forever for me to get my food, the mop water smelt horrible when my sister spilled a drink, almost all the seats were dirty so it was hard for me and my family to find somewhere to sit, whole place is just overall bad.

Classic retro decor

If you're looking for a solid diner spot with awesome waffles, the best shredded hash browns, eggs, etc., this is where you wanna be. Like many restaurants, labor shortages might mean the tables aren't immediately bussed or the wait is a bit longer. If that bugs you, come at an off peak time to likely improve your experience. I've been coming to this location since I was a little kid. The service is always good, usually with a smile, and people here appreciate kind patrons. My usual order is a small orange juice, chocolate chip waffle, and bacon extra crisp. I also enjoy my hash browns scattered, covered, and smothered. YUM! Give it a shot next time you're in the area.

The hashbrowns -- what its all about.

We arrived after looking up "Lunch near Airport" and this place popping with good reviews and a high TripAdvisor position. Gayle and I had a very enjoyable Lunch. The inside was bright, clean, well-appointed and spacious. Our wait person was friendly and prompt. I ordered the tomato bisque and grilled cheese special, while Gayle opted for a Patty Melt (with Fries). Both choices were delicious and just the right amount of food for me. Gayle left a fair amount of food on her plate, mostly due to a huge sandwich and lot for fries. I appreciated that this place offered beers that didn't have the word IPA in them, with my Oatmeal Stout being a great choice. Gayle went for her favorite Chardonnay preference. We both nursed our drinks and the fries as we were in no hurry to get the airport. The Library Restaurant and Pub was a solid choice, and one that we would repeat for either Lunch or Dinner.

I ordered a double cheeseburger with cheese and mustard, a small fry, a small onion ring, a 32-ounce iced tea, and blackberry cobbler for desert. The total was $17 and change (before the tip). I took my food home, and everything was still warm. The burger (a double) was smaller than I remembered. I had to check to make sure there were actually two patties, but they were both there. The white-bread bun was stuck to the meat and cheese, and tore apart when I tried to open it. The burger was small, but it did have good flavor and was not greasy at all. The fries were mostly stuck together in a big clump. They tasted like they might have been sitting around for a while. The onion rings tasted just like the ones you get at Burger King, only larger. Same thickness, flavor, texture... identical. The blackberry cobbler might have been the star of the show. It was small, but very good. I don't get deserts very often, but I enjoyed this one. The blackberries were flavorful but not full of seeds. It was served warm, also. Considering that I got desert and a 32 ounce drink, $17 was a pretty good deal I guess. I'd really like that double cheeseburger to be a little meatier, though. I added updated pictures of the menu, since the one I saw online was 10 years old!
