    Really cute diner type vibe inside this cafe. Have been looking for a good breakfast spot in Midland. Forgot to take a picture of our food other than the pancakes which were so so good! Friendly service and overall had a great experience here.

    The food was great. The service A+ and we loved the ambiance. So nice to find a great, clean restaurant that provides excellence for their customers. Price was reasonable as well. 's off all of our criteria for a great breakfast experience. Even Santa was here this morning.

    My FAVORITE breakfast spot in Midland TX!! The food is tasty, amazing, affordable, big portions!! The staff is WONDERFUL! It's always a pleasure to walk in or call. They greet you with a smile and if you order for pick up, they will repeat everything to get it right. The place is super cute if you guys dine in as well. Definitely my favorite place. No one can beat their prices, their tasty food and amazing staff! Thank you guys -Chanel

    My dad and I had breakfast at Jimmy's Egg last Saturday while my windshield was being repaired…read morenearby. Parking is fairly plentiful. We were greeted warmly and quickly seated. The place has ample seating and is clean and fresh inside. I was drawn to Jimmy's by their extensive menu. It was super easy for my dad and I to both find exactly what we wanted to eat for breakfast. I had avocado toast with an egg over easy and bacon. The egg was perfectly cooked. The bacon could've been cooked a tad bit crispier for my liking. My dad ordered the Classic Combo and added a side of grits. He is pretty particular about his breakfast, particularly the balance of the value vs the taste, quality and quantity (as one should be) and he raved about his meal and whole Jimmy's Egg experience, especially their grits and sausage. He had so much food and we talked about what he would and wouldn't get next time to better fit his appetite and budget. The coffee was also piping hot and perfect with free refills. Our server, Gwen was exceptional and had the prettiest purple pen, notepad and accessories. Thank you Gwen and the rest of the Jimmy's Egg staff for the wonderful food and service you provided me and my dad! He'll be back and I will be back whenever Im in town.

Hashbrowns ... criminally undersalted and NOT CRISPY. I HATE MUSHY HASHBROWNS. HASHBROWNS SHOULD BE CRISPY!!! All kidding aside, the Hashbrowns did suck, but everything else was awesome. Service was fast and friendly. Will go again ... BUT WILL NOT GET HASHBROWNS.

I was worried we wouldn't have any fun date spots but let me tell YOU. This spot was amazing 10/10 will miss this food leaving more than anything. If they catered weddings we'd hire them. We had Alejandro and their manager was soso kind. If you are here as a resident or a visitor this is a MUST. We came back twice in one day like psycho paths. All food was to die for and their staff was phenomenal!! THIS IS A MUST!!

I am very happy that I found Saint Blaise as they hit all three of my marks for restaurants that I take customers to. Food: The food was great. I wanted to get the steak and potatoes but it was $50+ which I thought was a bit steep for just steak and potatoes. I opted for the blackened salmon which was cooked perfectly with delicious broccoli and mashed potatoes on the side that were also cooked perfectly. The gnocchi had a perfect consistency with a non-overwhelming sauce so also phenomenally done. The two drinks I got: Same Place and Maple Manhattan were well-made with each component complementing each other well and not overpowering one another. If you like tequila and manhattans I think you will be happy. Service: The servers were very attentive and made sure we were taken care of the entire visit especially with the waters. Huge kudos! Ambiance: I will say because the inside space is a bit tight and small, having conversation when the restaurant was busy proved a bit difficult but if that is the case they do have seating right outside in the lobby area and having conversations there should not be an issue. I will make sure to be back with customers here!

I ordered the chicken fried chicken that includes a house salad. When I didnt receive it, I asked the server said "I didnt think you wanted it." I said "If it comes w/the meal then YES I want it." She walked off with attitude. The mash potatoes that came with the meal looked brown and watery. When I asked what was it she said, "It's just a LOT butter." I looked at her confused, she huffed and walked away while I was still looking at her. I wanted "mashed" potatoes not butter potatoes. My fiance' order biscuits n gravy. He said "It tasted like Dollar Store gravy in a can." Lol Needless to say he tried to eat it but could only get 1/3 of it down. Then we overheard the diners behind us complaining about the pancake taste and the fact they they were the size of old-school LP albums and WHO could eat that much bread. Lol. After trying to eat this "food"...we just couldn't, Then waited at the table for 15 minutes for a To-Go box for my chicken fried (because that was the only thing really edible) we watched the servers play on their cell phones, not paying attention to customers. My fiance had to get up, interrupt their conversation and ask for box. So me being petty, when we paid I didn't leave a tip and if the server had asked why, I would've replied, "Because I didn't think you wanted one!" And where is the other "tomboyish" looking server that used to work there? She was funny, hospitable and knew how run that place! The crew we dealt with today... Absolutely unacceptable. * Dine at your own risk. ;)

    Great food. Awesome portions. Great ambience. Very friendly. No one could finish their meal.read more
