    Bloody Mary
    Nicholas M.

    Usually top notch everything here. I don't know if there has been a change in wait staff or managers or what but this past weekend I was far from impressed like I normally am. The waitress cut me off in the middle of ordering my drinks (super strange and rude). The mini waffles were cold and so was the syrup(it's normally warm when they bring it to the table). Lastly the "fresh" fruit side was looking not good. It looked like it was set out way in advance and definitely not fresh because they prepared it WAY too soon. The Bloody Mary just had a lemon slice in it. Idk what's going on here but if this happens again I'll be very disappointed because it was one of my favorite spots and I'll never come back. What's weird is it wasn't even that busy like it normally is.

    Combo 4 was good. Crispy waffles with scrambled egg. Service was fast and overall friendly. Would def return to this spot. They have a 90 min time for tables.

    Chicken fried steak and waffle with a side of eggs, red velvet pancakes and a steak skillet! So good!

    Came here spontaneously with my wife after a failed attempt to go to the dmv that ended up being closed.. anyways. My wife was so excited to show me this place and so we went for breakfast. I ordered the steak skillet with over waste eggs and a side of red velvet pancakes and my wife ordered chicken fried steak and waffle and a side of eggs. The skillet was delicious, the cheese was melted nicely and the steak cooked perfectly. And the red velvet pancakes were so good, probably the best I've ever had. My wife's waffle was also really good also! All the food was good and I was instantly in love with this place!! The perfect breakfast diner! The restaurant has such a warm welcoming vibe too! I can't wait to go back!

    My sister and I decided to go out for breakfast. We went to Emily's. We were hungry. We ordered our usual items. The service is great! The waitress was very attentive. Keep us satisfied with the service. Reasonable prices. I recommend anyone who loves good food whether is breakfast or lunch.

    Chipotle Chicken and my husband had the Turkey Club

    A hometown favorite! Their service is so great, everyone is always friendly and on top of checking & double checking to make sure we have everything we need. The staff is always quick to get us a table even when it's packed. The food is so good, never had a bad meal! We went today for lunch and I had the Chipotle Chicken...ohhhh myyyy goodness! The chipotle chicken is not on the menu but if you ask for it they will make it for you. It is a huge portion so I always have some for the next day unless I am really hungry. The soup portion they give you is also very big & the soups are so delicious! My husband usually gets the Turkey Club and loves it. They have the best chilaquiles for breakfast and their breakfast enchiladas are amazing as well. We can't wait to try more!! It's a great place to bring family to as well!

We will definitely be coming back - probably tonight! Update: we did return for another tasty meal...cannot say enough about the quality of the food. However, if you're looking for good service this is not the place for you. Hostess is also the waitstaff. With that said, dining room had just opened by 16 minutes or so and we were the only two people there. We waited a ridiculous amount of time for her to come from the bar area to greet us and have us sit anywhere of our choosing. She doesn't like to write things down but should - she forgot one of our soups out of two. One of the appetizers was sliders and she asked if we needed ketchup and we answered yes...she forgot until the appetizer was gone then came over with two bottles of ketchup! (Mind you there was only 3 sliders). She did apologize but really if you have trouble remembering please write it down. I guess I wouldn't have been upset had the dining room been more than just two people and she was laughing it up with the other staff members.
