Nice breakfast

by jjwirth22 at Citysearch

As mentioned in other reviews, the wait in line was a little long and made you wonder if you were going to be able to find a seat. I went with my girlfriend and I ended up having a special, some pork tomales with eggs and green sauce. It was pretty good. We also had a large peach pancake with the cinnamon coffee. It wasn't horrible expensive, about $13 each for plenty of food. They do breakfast food fine and have an interesting ambience, so I enjoyed it enough that I definitely plan on eating there again sometime.

• Pros: decent food, average price
• Cons: waiting in line

just not good anymore

I live walking distance from this place and heard the breakfast was really good. The first time I went, the food wasnt very good, but since i live close, I have decided to try it out again. Ive been there 5 times, and I am WAY over my limit with this place. The last time I went in, they got my order wrong, I went to the counter and let them know, they went through the old tickets as the manager, possibly owner yelled at the girl at the counter in front of me. She looked scared as she told him, she said number 5, which I know I didnt. I got no apology out of the guy, no, it will be a couple minutes, he just took the plate and I just stood there, 3 or 4 minutes later the food came out. Every time I go there, something goes wrong. My food was wrong, my mother threw up after she had a spinach omelet, I was charged twice for 1 coffee, its WAY overpriced, the service is terrible! The same man has been there every time I have gone, older guy that gives the food to the people. If you are the owner, do yourself a favor and hire a manager or a sweet little teenager that will smile and say thank you, enjoy your food. The french toast and the coffee are good, but everything else I have tried has been just ok, and thats being nice. The hispanic woman that cleaned off my table was really sweet. I think this place use to be good, and I think the only reason people still go is because its the only close breakfast place that isnt a chain in the West U area. Such a bummer.

• Pros: coffee, french toast
• Cons: everything else

They pulled the Old Switcharoo...

I had lunch with a friend here yesterday, and I am still laughing to myself about the whole thing..

I ordered the Buffalo burger with only one request, no mayo, so our name is called I pick up the order and take it to our table, I open up my burger to find not only mayo, but what looks to be extra mayo all over what looks to be a good sized buffalo burger...

I walk my basket back up to the counter, remind them that I asked for no mayo, the counter person sifts through the order tickets as if I were not telling truth, then sends it to the back, after about 5 minutes or so , another basket comes out, so I once again pick it up and return to my table, now this is where it gets funny, my good looking Buffalo burger has now transformed into a regular thin beef burger that used to get in grade school....

I could not even bring myself to make the walk back up to the counter again....

All I can say is that after reading the negative reviews on here, the food looks to be pretty good, its just the service that need some attention....

I will return to try it again, but I will check my order before I get to my table...

• Pros: Great neighborhood location...
• Cons: Attention to the orders....
