    Best breakfast/brunch I've had in over 25 years. The way that food made me feel I haven't felt that much happiness in quite some time. The service and food was top notch. My wife loved the dinner feel and the free cinnamon rolls

    Pulled pork Benedicts

    Here we have a wonderful Cafe family owned. We walked in, open available seating chairs and booths and bar seating. Immediately greeted and seated. Madison was our server and very attentive with menus, drinks on top of refills and orders. Place is very clean, clean restrooms, atmosphere is very quiet/ average with lovely history news paper dividers, decorative table with ads. No kids menu, or crayons... not worthy of knocking off a star because the interactions with our awesome waitress Madison. Onto the food! We're greeted with a beautiful complimentary Cinnamon rolls home made, served warm! Delicious Portions are generous and enough to share or have leftovers. Kitchen sink scramble and it was packed with flavor from the meats with a nice biscuit home made. Pulled pork eggs Benedicts also generous portion, with pulled pork.. sweet, juicy and tender. Coleslaw was crisp and fresh on top of english muffin. Eggs cooked perfectly with the sauce added a nice touch to cut the sweet meat. Our kiddos just had Pancakes and French toast which is pretty standard not memorable but no need to knock off any stars. We're from out of town, so this was a great little breakfast place to enjoy before we take off towards the airport. Any locals in sure would enjoy this place and what it offers as well as the out of town folks. Enjoy!

    Denver Omelet

    We recently went here for breakfast. First, just a need old fashion restaurant. Everyone there is super friendly and helpful. Place has a lot of seating. They start you out with a complementary fresh made cinnamon roll. I apologize for not getting a picture. They are excellent. Just the right amount of icing and cinnamon. My wife got the Denver omelet with potatoes and an English muffin. She said it was the best Denver omelet she has had. It was a lot of food. I got the breakfast platter: eggs, sausage and instead of potatoes and bread I opted for the French toast. As you can tell from the picture I started eating before I snapped the picture. Everything was delicious. A good hardy breakfast at very reasonable prices. Everything I look for when I go out for breakfast. I can't wait to go back and try them for lunch. They have a very big menu.

Next time Icome into town, I want to try their potato rancheros. All staff was amazing, and even told us about how some of their specials came about. The food came out fast and fresh. The parking can be a little tricky because it is shared with other businesses. They are open Monday Tuesday Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Sunday from 7 AM to 2 PM. Can't wait to go back!

Do yourself a favor and come back lots of times and run down the menu of the more traditional fare - it's all delicious.

A few months ago my sister and I hosted a baby shower for our other sister and after looking around an options we decided to go with McLains. It was a smaller group, and we were doing a brunch theme, and our sister LOVES sweets. That paired with our desire to support local, and our shared love of McLains, this was just the most obvious choice. We ended up ordering a cake and first of all I have to say their cake flavor choices are insane - I think we settled on a chocolate cake with peanut butter filling (YUM), but I don't think you can go wrong here. We also ordered one of their pre-set pastry bundles for pick up and honestly everything was wonderful. I think I placed the order about a week out and it was ready when I came to pick it up. What pushed this experience into five star category for me? Just the friendliness of the staff, the serving tools they send you home with, and how thoughtful everyone was. The food was also really just exactly what we needed and it was so good there were hardly any leftovers, I think the kids cleared us out by lunch! At any rate, if you're on the hunt for a great spot to support for your next brunch event consider McLains - they won't let you down!

We were welcomed with a brief overview of the company and treated to a sparkling matcha limeade on the patio. Following this we were treated to a fantastic sandwich and beverage pairing. The diced chicken was marinated in Coca Cola and cold brew then served on toasted fresh made bread with house made bbq sauce and veggies. Then paired with a cold brew mixed with Coca-Cola and topped with a cherry-vanilla cold top. Phenomenal. Just as incredible was the bakery case. After a tough decision making process, I took home a cookie, Lemon Goat Cheesecake, and blueberry pop-tart. The cheesecake and poptart were best I've ever had in each category and the cookie that I didn't even get a taste of, was declared "the best damn cookie I've ever had" by my wife. Two days later she is still talking about it. With the welcoming and friendly owner and staff, the creative and top tier products, and a cool environment; I'm all in for frequent trips from the Northland to Brookside for further exploration.

The biscuit sandwich was oozing with cheese and sauce so I ended up cutting into it with a fork and knife. The pear compote had an apple pie filling vibe to it, which was almost too sweet for me even though it went well with the salty smoked ham. The nutty bitterness from the fontina added a little bit too much contrast for me. This would be a good choice for people who like sweet and salty things. Overall, each component was tasty, but this particular sandwich wasn't exactly my preferred taste! The oat milk latte was good! Nice and foamy with a good amount of bitterness from the espresso. I was curious about their huge pastry case and would love to try those in the future.
