    Bacon
    Audrey M.

    The bacon was crunchy and barely had flavor. The waitress also brought out only one piece of toast at first for two full meals that had it as a side. She came to the table and asked if we still wanted it after asking three times while ordering as well if I wanted toast. Yes! Totally incompetent and wouldn't be back based on service alone. Horrible. At least the hash browns were good. Only redeeming quality and hey it's two stars instead of one

    I thought since I read all the reviews that their Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs would be good. Sorry to say it wasn't. Patty was tough on edges and over cooked. If I ever go back here I would not be ordering that again. Very skimpy on the Gravy by the way too. One slice of toast, whe n usually you get two.

    Half biscuits and gravy with eggs and hash browns with a side of Sausage.

    Eggsalent!Really was a great breakfast. Very nice restaurant, service is top notch, dining room is very clean and so are the bathrooms. It's in a strip mall and doesn't look like much from the street but don't let that fool you. Well worth a visit.

    Amazing French toast

    Excellent restaurant near the Great Wolf Lodge. Everything was super clean and the food was excellent. Very attentive staff and we could tell they took a lot of pride in what they do. Definitely recommend this if you are in the area and looking for a good breakfast restaurant.

    Lovely spot for brunch. Service was very good. Breakfast was tasty especially the 3 milk French toast. Portions size was good for the cost.

    The biscuits and gravy are garbage. Thin, not filling. The cook obviously doesn't care.

I've got to say, this is a top notch diner! The place has that old school vibe, you know the one, every restaurant used to be just like this when I was a kid! The difference between this spot and others trying to recapture that magic is this one is clean and fresh. No sticky floors, no residual smoke must. It's "old new" and I love that! Service was fantastic, everyone I interacted with were super friendly. I ordered pancakes topped with banana and a side of sausage patties. Perfect pancakes! Pancakes are a proper test of a breakfast places mettle. They're so easy to mess up in their simplicity, execution is key. These were the best pancakes I've had in the last 20 years, not too soft or too firm, they slightly absorb the syrup but don't turn into a sponge. The sausage was great, two giant patties nicely seasoned and cooked just right. No complaints here. This spot is a little gem, and I'll be back for sure!

    Very popular spot in Mellody Farm that can have a sizeable wait of over 30 minutes if you're…read morelooking for a large table, but the quality of the ingredients and dishes are worth it if you have some extra time to spare. Parking is fairly plentiful, though the entire shopping center is so busy you might not be able to park super close to the restaurant during normal meal hours. The decor is nice, with appropriate themes for a breakfast restaurant and the seating is comfortable. Service is not super fast, but not too slow for a spot that is this busy. The food is really the star here, in terms of the items offered and in the quality of ingredients, good textures, and design of the dishes. I was very pleased that every dish I tried was minimally very good, and flavorful. The burritofull morning sounds like a standard breakfast burrito, but the flat iron steak was spiced to perfection and tender. The mix of chorizo, roasted peppers, chipotle crema, and salsa verde were surprisingly not too salty and really helped to enhance the flavor of the steak. The crispy hash browns, onions, and chihuahua cheese helped to round out the remainder of this dish with some carbs and a bit of fat, resulting in a very enjoyable dish with nice crispy potatoes on the side. The chicken fried chicken skillet mixed a lot of flavorful elements without being too salty. The golden fried chicken is tender inside, with almost a crispy tempura style batter and is mixed with honey smoked bacon, sausage, and griddled country ham. The bell peppers, and onion add a nice sweetness and extra aroma to the dish. This is topped off with a fairly light sausage gravy, cheddar, and jack cheeses. The potatoes matched well with the gravy, but also helped to absorb some of the fat from the meats. The overall combination was delicious and something I'd definitely order again. The banoffee pie pancakes were some of the best pancakes I've had in the last year. Light and super fluffy is not an understatement. Topped with bananas and lots of chocolate chips and chocolate curls, this is intense without being overly sweet or indulgent. The toffee sauce lightly blends in with the other ingredients and the graham cracker crumbles add a nice, almost banana pie feel to the dish. Highly recommended as a very balanced and delicious option. The corned beef hash and eggs may have been one of the best dishes to show off pure ingredient quality. This is house-made corned beef that is extremely tender and not too salty. A simple mix of green peppers, red peppers, and onions really allow the meat quality to shine without distraction, with crispy potatoes to add a bit of starch to the dish. The tres leches french toast was masterfully done, eggy, thick, with just the right level of firmness. The coconut flakes were an amazing combination with the milks, and cinnamon whipped cream, hazelnut syrup, and coconut cream elevated the flavors without making the entire dish too sweet. My only comment is that compared to other items on the menu, the serving of this felt a bit small for the price. The lil'bit of chicken fried is not your average chicken sandwich. This is quality throughout the entire dish from the buttered brioche down to the perfectly cooked chicken. The biggest surprise for me is the pickles, which have the perfect texture and level of acid. This goes great with the sweet potato fries which are lightly crisp and quite flavorful. Overall, this place gets busy and the prices are a bit higher than other competitors in the area. But the quality of the cooking here makes it worth the wait.

First off, they give you a free biscuit on Tuesdays, so leave room for that. I ordered the griddled ham and cheese crepe, and it's one of the most delicious breakfast items I think I've ever had. The ham is a tiny bit sweet, which balances out the richness of the Gruyère and hollandaise nicely. It's also huge-two giant crepes as big as my head! I finished one and took the other one home-it heated up really nicely. I also ordered the apple/gouda chicken sausage. The flavor was good, though a tiny bit on the dry side (which tends to happen with chicken sausage). I ordered the cookie butter latte as well, delicious and not too sweet. Service was good, even though they were pretty busy when they were there. Prices are good too, especially for how much food you get. One note: they don't take reservations, so be prepared for a wait, especially on the weekends.
