Yes. But other than that it tasted like any other fluffy French toast with some pistachio topping. The cream inside didn't really have an obvious flavor and the whipped cream side wasn't really necessary. If it were not for the orange syrup I would say it was overall pretty bland and average. The portion was huge, but I probably wouldn't drop another almost $20 on it. I'd be interested in trying their drinks next time!

Place is spacious and has a nice ambiance. We ordered two lattes, one pistachio latte and the other a pink blossom latte. So happy that so many places offer non dairy options for the lattes. The server suggested we get them iced as they are topped with a sweet cream. Both were yummy and not overly sweet. We also ordered the croissant pudding and BLT. I love bready desserty food that is not too sweet. It came with some syrup as they advertise it as tasting like French toast. I had it without the syrup as it was sweet enough without it. Hubby had the BLT which he really enjoyed. Cute spot, bigger on the inside than it appears from the exterior and friendly staff. There was a table of 2 men sitting and discussing something, work maybe? Not too busy on a Thursday morning.

I Honestly Prefer Non-Dairy Milk Since It's More Creamy & Rich But This Was Delicious Enough Without Being Too Sweet.... Perfect For A Cozy Breakfast Morning. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Shoutout To Christian, My Outstanding Waiter. Amazing, Welcoming, & Truly Provided Top-Tier Service & Wonderful Conversation. Not Only Was He Attentive, He Was So Sweet & Had Such An Awesome Spirit Which Made The Experience Even Better. First Watch Is Always A Solid Choice For Breakfast, & The Holiday Menu Is Worth Checking Out. I Will Definitely Return to This Location, If They Had A Rewards Points System, I'm Sure I Would Get So Much Free Stuff Because I Definitely Come Here A lot Just Usually For Pickup.

You can't go wrong with breakfast, be sure to get here by 8:30-8:45 to ensure there's no wait. They…read morehave a varied menu with lots of options but I don't like eggs so I usually stick to the pancakes. I like all the flavors and today I went with the blueberry and it was just right. I just get one pancake since it's literally the size of your plate and goes perfectly with a side of bacon and real homemade grits. They keep the coffee coming here and leave the coffee pot on your table so there's no waiting for refills. They also leave a variety of creamers on the table so you can self serve your coffee just how you want it. They do also have a lunch menu but I haven't tried it yet, I'll have to make a trip for lunch someday. Service is always fast and friendly and you can scan your receipt and pay via your phone or pay at the front counter so there's no waiting to pay. I've been here many times and will be here many more times in the future.

I ordered the City Burger with sautéed mushrooms and onions, and whew... this was a good burger. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right so every bite felt intentional. The toppings were perfectly sautéed, adding that extra depth without overpowering the meat. The hand-cut fries deserve their own shout-out--crispy, golden, and delicious. You can always tell when fries are actually cut in-house, and these definitely passed the test. Fat Cat Kitchen is a great stop when you're craving a quality burger with no frills, just flavor. I'll be back to explore more of the menu!

Today, we were greeted quickly and warmly and shown to a table. My Dad had a huge burger, which he said was good. My sister had the Gumbo- I tasted it and it was delicious! My Caribbean chicken and shrimp would've been delicious, but the chicken was way way too salty! The shrimp and beans and rice were both good. I'm so glad I ordered the sauce on the side because it ratcheted up the salt level to briny. Our server was adequate. The dining room is in a sort of weird U-shaped to me, but and spaced to serve. The friendly Manager stopped by our table to give my little niece a toy, and check on our experience. Our food hadn't come yet, so I didn't share that I didn't enjoy my meal. Even though I didn't enjoy the dish I had, I probably come back to try the burger.

So I got a group together for a fun lunch. It's been almost a decade since I've been to this GAR location. It did not disappoint. Our server was awesome! She was attentive and listen to our many requests. The staff worked as a team. She brought our birthday guy a birthday treat that was very generous. The food was so delicious, as expected. I had the lunch chicken fajitas as these are not available at most GAR. It was all protein and onions. No bell peppers and I was so glad. The flour tortillas are so fresh. My one gripe is they charged an extra .50 for an extra cup of pico de gallo. Overall it was a very nice dining experience. For those in that area, I'd definitely recommend Silverado.

Really thick and yummy bread, but I think it was more Caramel than Dulce de Leche (if you catch muy drift). Then, we shared the Mexican Breakfast and Traditional Benedict.

Never seen that before, but it was pretty tasty. Service was great! Nice place for brunch with friends or family.

Nothing that matches my home throne. *4.0 out of 5* for the mens restroom. I was told women was just the same that day. Now regarding the actual restaurant! Walking in felt normal and I noticed nothing that would make me upset. Walking in I am lucky to get the pancake smell take over :) About the spot. It felt like such a breakfast joint for sure. The vibe was great and the bar made it seem like I would go there for a shake when my wife isn't down for a breakfast lunch. *4.2/5* The mirrors made it feel nice and spacious for me. The food was awesome! It was exactly what I wanted from a place like this. The chicken waffle and bacon is what I want. Cooked well. Not to dry. Not to wet. Not burnt. Not undercooked. Not under cooked. Maybe I was lucked. Much better than IHOP. *4.5/5* for Chicken Waffle with bacon. Very happy. The syrup they use went very will with the food they cooked.Overall I like this breakfast house. It ended up to an average 17 per person for my multiple trips. So do as you will with that.

It seems like overall Eritrean food has a similar sour spicy profile which I enjoy. I look forward to coming back to eat their enjera fitfit and try their lentil or minestrone soup. The place was homey, service was good though we could have used more water refills! Overall my favorites are the: - kitcha fitfit (cooked dough with spices, I noticed some folks put honey on it) - qlwa beef with spinach (nice tomato sauce with spices) - egg silsa (nice egg with spices)

We have been to Cafe Aurora many times for breakfast, but our recent visits have left us much to be…read moredesired. While the staff are very friendly, there's usually only one person who mans the front, taking parties' orders, making coffee drinks, and dealing with the register - if you're looking for a quick meal, this is definitely NOT the place, as you'll spend at least 1.5 hours. We usually stick with their French Toast, the Omelet, and the Fuul - the food has been inconsistent, as the French Toast, while usually prepared perfectly with the slight crisp edges, has been mostly soggy. The omelet, in which we requested all the ingredients to be included, has been missing cheese. The Fuul's portion has gotten smaller, and the request for extra jalapenos and sauce has always fallen on deaf ears. For coffee, I've usually stuck with the mocha, which, even when requested to be extra hot, hasn't been so. The place can be extremely loud from specific patrons/parties, and there doesn't seem to be any consideration for other diners. The inconsistency with the food, the long service times, and the high volume of some of the patrons doesn't warrant a repeat visit anymore. Plenty of parking in the shared plaza lot. +inconsistency in the quality of the food served +slow service +very loud patrons/parties

I can fully recommend City Diner for breakfast and brunch…read more Of interest to me is their website. The menu page is a picture of a new-looking diner with a 50s style. This is not City Diner. City Diner is well-worn with a lot of personal touches but still clean and comfortable. Arriving shortly after noon, the restaurant was filled with customers, but we only had a brief wait before we were seated in a booth. There is off-street parking. Though parking slots are ample, at peak times you might have to wait or moment or two for a spot to open up. All aspects of service, from seating to ordering to paying were attentive and responsive. City Diner has an all-day menu for breakfast, lunch and diner.' I ordered the Club Sandwich with turkey and bacon. Made with tomato, lettuce, turkey and bacon, the portion size was very generous. However, I'm pretty certain that they were missing a slice of bread on one half of the sandwich, making that half very awkward to eat. I swapped out the fries for onion rings, which were fine. And, they were not beer-battered. Yay! I ordered grits as my side and was very pleased when they gave me a whole bunch of cream packets to go on my grits. JP ordered the Baconador omelet off the specials board. It was very good, living up to its name with plenty of bacon. It also came with avocado and tomato. Last note: even though this is a Greek restaurant and they have soup, they do not serve avgolemono soup.
