“nicest staff ever to accompany the best french toast ive ever had. amazing prices for even better food. cant recommend enough!”
“Naynay was a great server! She was attentive and gave great recommendations. I didn’t catch his name, but the guy passing out waters and cleaning was also very kind. My food was pretty good, but honestly I enjoyed the hashbrowns the most! I got the seafood omelet and a half order of the lemon French toast. The lemon French toast wasn’t my favorite - I’ll try another flavor next time. The seafood omelet had a lot of crab meat and the sauce on top was delicious!”
“Pretty good French toast and amazingly friendly staff. Must have gone on a bad day though my eggs and hash browns were a little cold.”
“the caramel french toast is one of the single best things iv ever eaten; the caramel butter melts in your mouth and the nuts that come with out are great its worth the wait, but prepared to wait a while, people know how good it is.”
