I've gone to JAM a few times and each time seem to enjoy whatever we order. Fun fact im not a jam or jelly person but their homemade spreads are delicious On my latest visit for a little Valentine's Day lunch with some mama friends we sat in the bigger area that has long tables and I believe they are open to renting for events with various photos of celebrities. Our table was placed by Bad Bunny which was amazing since we were all very excited after the Super Bowl hype. I have had the crab cake and bayou Benedict both which have been delicious. The crab cake Benedict comes with a fried green tomato and bayou Benedict comes with polenta. Enjoyed both of these touches being different from the typical English muffin for a Benedict. Service is always great, attentive and swift even with larger parties. read more

What a gem! We went there based on Yelp reviews and the place was wonderful. They do not take reservations so you may have an hour wait . They said 50 min wait to us but it was more like 30 min. The place was hopping .. you walk in and see am sad zing cakes in the cooler . Later we ordered the carrot cake which was delicious Moist and 10/10 For breakfast my friend and I shared the crab omelet . It had a nice flavor w hollandaise sauce on it. Then we ordered the large bkft meal w eggs, bacon hash browns . The turkey sausage was a little spicy . The chorros waffle was sooo good topped w Carmel and cream cheese. Our server Liz was excellent. She attentive. Offered suggestions and the managers checked in as week Finally the customers dining were very kind offering suggestions since it was a first time read more

Finally visited this popular breakfast-and-lunch spot. I've driven by a few times and noticed the parking lot was always packed, with a number of people waiting outside for a table. Tip: add yourself to the waitlist and hopefully, the wait won't be too long. The wait for our party of two was about 30 minutes. I walked in and was greeted by displays of cakes, muffins, and pies--oh my. Great start. This restaurant is quite large and seems to have an extension for more seating "around the corner." Almost every table was occupied, with a good mix of people, and the service was excellent. We didn't need to chase down the waitress for refills and plates were cleared quickly. The restaurant is very loud, partly because it was jam-packed (no pun intended), with many large tables (6-10 people), and everyone seemed to be having a great time. The menu is quite extensive, and M loved the lemon-blueberry pancakes with extra lemon curd. Naturally, I had to try a slice of the carrot cake... for research purposes, of course. It was divine: moist, and the cream cheese frosting struck the right balance of frosting and cake. read more

Quick take: Busy breakfast spot with lots of menu choices, friendly service, and a quieter back room if you want to escape the noise. Returned to this lively neighborhood restaurant and found it just as packed as before. The menu still offers plenty of breakfast favorites with lots of mix-and-match combinations. One thing I didn't realize before is that there's a separate dining room away from the main area that's noticeably quieter--worth requesting if the front space feels a bit loud. Our server, Mariah, was friendly and knowledgeable, and she easily handled separate checks. She even showed us comparison photos to explain the difference between an appetizer and the full lunch portion of a similar dish, which was helpful. The meals were nicely presented and well portioned, and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. My only suggestion would be for the Huevos Rancheros--the tortilla chips were layered underneath and became a bit soggy. Serving them on the side, or using thicker chips, might help keep that crispy texture. The flavors themselves were still very good. We finished with the banana pudding, which was delicious. Overall, a good choice if you want a flavorful breakfast with lots of options. Just expect a lively crowd and higher noise level during busy morning hours. read more

Recently visited for a 50th bday brunch. Energy was good. Service was great and food came out fast. Our server did an awesome job with our table of 20. Now onto the food. While here I had the following: Brussels sprouts: tasty. Had a good flavor. Nice portion size. I would've loved if the sprouts were a little more crisp. Pig candy: delish! Crispy and crunchy. The aioli sauce and arugula was a nice touch. Also a nice portion. Lamb chop lollipops- I was original told there were 7 pops but, it ended up being 5. The chops were a bit unevenly cooked. I asked for medium and half of them came out well. The mash potatoes were tasty with the Cabernet gravy. Old bay bloody-very boozy and tasty. It complimented my meal well. In all I'd visit again. There were no complaints about the food in our whole party. SYOY! read more

This place is open, spacious and popping with people! I met a friend at 11:30 on a Friday for brunch and it was packed! Something that I noticed right away was how diverse the crowd was it's a gathering place for business meetings, mamas, families and friends to enjoy a meal together. I notice things like this and it's important to me. We were seated right away and this is literally my only small complaint, we were seated in me of the back rooms which was fine, but it felt very cozy and not in the best way as all of the tables were so close together there wasn't a lot of room to maneuver and it was very chilly. However that being said the room was full of natural light and the background noise of cheerful chatter made it a great experience. Our server was Zach A. and he was lovely, he made great recommendations, was attentive and it was evident that he's really great at his job! One other thing to note is the managers on duty were also great checking in, running food when needed, greeting people at the door. I love when the managers are visible and customer facing, it says a lot about the culture of the establishment. The food delicious, I couldn't decide between all the things so I ended up with our servers favorite waffle, the Churro waffle and it was decadent... and a side of turkey sausage. I would give the waffle alone a 100 star rating but the savory side made it the perfect combo. My friend had a latte, and the salmon omelet that came stuffed full of deliciousness and wrapped in salmon with a lemon blueberry pancake on the side. We were both pleased and left feeling more than satisfied. This was her third time and my first and I promise it won't be the last! Thanks JAM for a top notch experience! read more

My daughter and I had to fast before our doctors appointments and we're pretty hungry and desperately needed breakfast. JAM did the trick. This used to be a chain restaurant under a different name, I believe they are now locally owned. The hostess was very warm and friendly, and we were sat quickly even though they had a a nice crowd. I got the Snicker Doodle Latte from the seasonal menu, the Bayou Benedict and a Red Velvet Pancake. My daughter got a Caramel Macchiato & Huevos Rancheros . Our drinks took a second to come to the table, and based on how they looked we thought we had each others order... the Caramel was topped with cinnamon and the Snicker Doodle was topped with Caramel. The food came out pretty fast, and everything was really delicious. The portions are huge so I was only able to eat half of my meal. Our server was really nice as well read more

The best brunch place anywhere in Maryland ! I'm not even exaggerating. Food is on point! Server was fast. Huge place so didn't have to wait for food but there is a wait to be seated. You just put your name on the waiting list and voila! I brought many friends to this restaurant and keep going back because it is just that good! I loved the mimosa flight and got to taste 4 different flavors. Prices are super affordable. Loved the inside too. Huge place and just full of life. Definitely bring your appetite read more

Service wasn't great, dining area wasn't clean, and food was mediocre at best. We went on a Sunday afternoon as the brunch rush was dying down. We asked for a table and we were told 25 min wait which wasn't bad but as we sat there waiting we could see tables were opening up, people who came after us were getting sat well before the 25 minute waiting time and when we finally went to check (we sat close to the host stand), they had forgotten our place and we had not gotten any communication- not a text or notice in person or otherwise. So once we finally got sat, our server was just fine but the dining area wasn't clean. I'm sure it was a result of a hectic brunch rush. For food we got the chicken and waffles and the havarti chicken sandwich. The sandwich did not look appetizing and the taste was disappointing and not memorable as well. The chicken and waffle wasn't that great either. Their drinks were good, however. read more

Hands down one of the best spots for breakfast/brunch. Inside is super clean and bright! Everything we ordered was so good, and the service was quick, our waiter was super attentive the whole time. The only thing I didn't love was the lemon berry pancakes, they had a slight metallic aftertaste. Still, I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu! read more

While visiting Maryland, we stopped by this restaurant for brunch and had a wonderful experience. The menu is extensive with a lot of variety, making it a great spot for both small and large groups. Even though it was super busy, we were able to add our name to the waitlist and were seated within 30 minutes, which was very reasonable. We ordered: * Kids' menu chicken tenders and fries with fresh orange juice * Kids' menu pancake with fresh apple juice * Lobster Eggs Benedict * Black bean burger * Vegetarian crêpes Everything was absolutely delicious, and the portions were generous. The food is very well priced for the quality and quantity they serve. What stood out the most was the service. Despite how busy the restaurant was, our server, Kamal, was extremely attentive and friendly. The manager also stopped by to check on guests at multiple tables, which was a nice touch. The staff overall was very welcoming and professional. The ambiance is great as well--especially for families. The open kitchen was a fun experience for kids to watch and added to the overall vibe. We would definitely recommend this place and would love to visit again! read more

JAM Eatery is a great spot, but be prepared--it stays busy, so expect a bit of a wait. The breakfast food is decent and gets the job done, but the real star (and honestly the main reason I keep coming back) is the coconut cake. Oh my God--it is that good. If you love coconut cake, you absolutely have to try it... if they still have it available. They also offer several desserts, all fresh, and they will definitely test your willpower. If you're trying to stay on track with your diet, just know you've been warned. And yes--no photo, because every single time I order the cake, I end up eating it before I even think about taking one. That should tell you everything you need to know. Overall, a solid breakfast spot, but the desserts are what truly make it stand out at least for me! read more

JAM Eateries - mimosa (or cocktail) flight. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ellicott City, Maryland

We were looking for a good brunch spot to help celebrate her in memory as it was the one year anniversary of our mother's passing. My sister ended up choosing this spot for all of us to enjoy brunch. This was my wife and I's first time here and we were joined by several of my family members from my siblings, aunt and uncle's as well as others. The first thing we noticed was how busy it is during this time, but it did not stop our server Felipe from delivering amazing customer service! We started off with our drinks. My sister got a prickly pear margarita and her boyfriend got the tequila sunrise. My wife got an apple juice and I got a Caribbean blast smoothie. We also had other people who got several different other types of drinks as they have a vast variety of all different types. I started off my order with strawberry cream shortcake pancakes and my wife got a griddle combo. My best friend ended up getting lamb lollipops and crepe flambe. My other family got the coconut cream French toast, an omelette, and my uncle got some wings. We ended our night with two different types of cake I got the lemon cream cake and my wife got the strawberry cream cake, both were fresh and delicious. We got so many different types of dishes as we had a very large party but they were very accommodating and even worked with my uncle when he did not like his wings until he was satisfied. Others got biscuits and gravy, banana pudding pancakes, caramel apple pancakes, Iamb lollipops and chicken and waffles. They really go above and beyond here and their menu options are endless! We really appreciate it how we were taken care of here and we made sure to tip well directly to Felipe so that he knew that. They had a bunch of different desserts that we can't wait to come back and try as well as wide variety of other menu options that we can't wait to explore! Thank you to Felipe and the staff who helped make our visit one to remember in the best ways possible. The Ambiance here is very busy especially during brunch but they don't let that take away from the experience. Just make sure to steer clear of the servers as they are moving and grooving delivering orders to the patrons. 5/5 SupaFlyITGuy approved! read more

I almost licked my plate! I can honestly say I haven't had breakfast food this good in a very, very long time! The eggs were perfectly medium well, the potatoes were crispy (like I asked for), and the sausage was good quality. The sweet tea was also delicious! I'm getting hungry just thinking about the food again. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive. The manager refilled my drink multiple times, brought me whipped butter for my waffle, extra napkins, etc. The waitress was also great! The restaurant was cute too!

Came for a friend's birthday brunch. Pretty fast food arrival especially given how busy it was. Great service including a "birthday waffle" with a candle. Server Eric handled separate checks patiently and flawlessly. And took a group picture for us. Everyone loved their food, with their homemade biscuits getting the most rave reviews. Grits looked creamy. If you want very crispy bacon, ask. Their Brussels sprouts were fresh and flash fried with a great maple syrup vinaigrette and candied pork belly and pecans. Decor was lovely, especially the artwork! read more

Stopped into Jam Eateries today with my girlfriend to kick off her birthday weekend brunch, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. We were able to walk right in and get seated promptly, which was a pleasant surprise. The host/GM was super welcoming and set the tone for the whole visit. It was my friend's first time here, and they really pulled out all the stops. The fall menu was giving, so we started with the pumpkin pie espresso martinis, and babyyyyy those things were delicious. So much so, we ended up ordering two each lol. We also tried the mini crabcakes and calamari, both of which were perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. I had the griddle combo with the churro waffle, which is always a favorite for me (definitely have to come back before the pumpkin pie pancakes are gone, they looked good!). My girl went with the short rib hash, but she wasn't too impressed with the short rib since it didn't have much flavor. The potatoes were the saving grace, and let's just say she had to lean heavy on the steak sauce, never a good sign lol All in all, the vibe was great, the food was solid, and those drinks were definitely the star of the show. We both agreed we'll be back with all the girls for a brunch date soon. And major shoutout to Tito, the General Manager, he went above and beyond to make her first visit a memorable one. Appreciate you for that! read more

I think this place was decent! It was definitely busy for a Sunday but since we put our names on the waitlist before driving over, we were good to go!

- seafood pasta: it was actually really good. scallop was fat and plump. meat to pasta ratio was good. the rose sauce makes it creamy and inviting instead of the usual marinara sauce dumped in pasta. (if you like rose tteokbokki, you will like this). usually i hate when sauce overpowers my pasta but this was good. - ceaser salad: the romaine lettuce was crunchy. no weak leaves over here. - avocado toast: my friend got this but she said it was good. but she didn't finish it. we also ordered pancakes but the server forgot about it. not pressed since we were so full, but keep in mind that you may need to remind them. definitely add yourself to the online queue before coming in since the wait was crazy. even though I added ourselves to the queue 15 mins before I got there, we still had to wait another 25 mins. read more

Stopped in for brunch on the weekend and thank goodness for the ability to join the wait list before showing up! There were 44 parties on the waitlist, we showed up with 14 ahead of us. I can see why so many people were waiting to eat here! The place itself is super cute; they even have a fireplace. They have breakfast and lunch, as well as a bar area with all the drinks and cakes that looked amazing. We got bacon bloody marys, which were a bit underwhelming, but the food made up for it. The chicken and waffles were great - the churro waffle was to die for. I would come back here in a heartbeat! read more

Was visiting Hanover and it was incredibly hard to find a place that served breakfast (not Starbucks or DD or IHOP) and had more than 3 stars. Came across this spot a town or so over. Called to check on wait time and there was about a 40-45 minute wait with approximately that many parties waiting. They were unable to add us to the wait list but did tell us we could go to toast (website) and add our names there. There were 48 parties waiting by the time we added our name but I will say the list came in clutch. By the time we finished getting ready and headed over, our table was ready just as we pulled into the parking lot. You are also able to follow along your progress on the pages you add your name to. Now for the main event, the restaurant was pretty packed but also way bigger than expected and even than appearance from the outside. The restaurant is bright, a bit loud as it was packed, and decorated with various music artists throughout. The food was solid and they have plenty of breakfast and lunch choices available on top of a separate seasonal menu for food and drinks. There were a lot of menus to keep track of so that was a bit overwhelming if you don't like too many choices. Everything we had was tasty and fresh. Least favorite was probably the Nashville hot chicken sandwich probably because you can get some really good ones out there these days and this one was just ok. Favorite was between the short rib Benedict and the winter harvest breakfast hash. The coffee was strong, served in a large cup and the refill (not the first cup) was piping hot. Definitely worth a visit if you are looking for a good breakfast spot outside of the fast food types. read more

First timer!! And We look forward to going back very soon! The only thing we did not like was the process for reservations. The wait time was about 45mins...We arrived, looking for parking and we get a message that our table is ready. I call in and say we are looking for parking, they tell us we have 4 mins before they cancel the reservation. BOOOO! We made it inside and once seated our waiter was amazing! He was a young Salvadorian, and I am upset that the name is missing me. But he made sure we were all set, satisfied and checked on us several times. The food was amazing, great portion size and the mimosa options were plenty! We loved the decor inside as we picked out artist of all genres. It was colorful on the wall and gave a nice flare of modernization to enjoy seating. It was packed for sure! Jam is definitely "JAMMIN" and the music playing was not overly loud, it was perfect! read more

After getting the waitlist timing right, we made and it was worth the wait. My family used to frequent Eggspectation, the previous restaurant. This new place is altogether different in good ways! The hosts are quick and efficient. This place is POPULAR! The decor is bright and airy with artwork displaying current celebrities. Conversations were loud and lively! The menu extended the brunch themes with healthy entrees peppered throughout. Succulent seafood, decadent breakfast and dinner entrees, and a full bar makes this a wonderful place to dine. read more

Blown away by how big this place is and then how extensive their menu is. Something for everyone from savories to sweets to classical breakfasts to lunches. Clearly labeled if gf, or what the ingredients are. Friendly fast service. Large portions. I'm going to have to come back for their specialty pancakes or French toasts which my friends had. I had the corned beef hash which was really satisfying. Definitely recommend this place but then seems like everyone already knows by how packed it is. lol read more

Finally stopped here for Brunch before shopping at Arundel. On a Saturday around 12:30, they were hopping. About a 50 minute wait so we added our name to the list and went to shop. It only ended up being 35 minutes so we lost our spot but then discovered the online wait list which worked out perfectly. We returned around 2 and were seated immediately. Overwhelming (in a good way) amount of menu options. Divided areas providing a different atmosphere in each. We ended up being seated in a smaller area in the back of the restaurant. Celebrity paintings decorated the walls. Coffee was strong and bold just the way we like it. Duck for Brunch -we're in! They had a couple of Duck dishes and we ended up ordering the Duck Confit Benedict (haven't seen this anywhere else and it was a special)- Delicious Duck with pickled onions taking it over the top! Ranchero Omelette was excellent and filled with Chorizo, peppers and fresh avocado. Shared the chocolate chip pancakes and they didn't disappoint. Although we didn't partake, they had a long list of drinks from smoothies to speciality coffees and cocktails. Oh and the Dessert display looked amazing-next time. Service was upbeat and friendly despite being super busy. Our only complaint is they're far from us. Don't miss their sister restaurant in Baltimore (Locust Point) -Copper Shark. If in Ellicott City, make this stop! read more

JAM Eateries is a fantastic breakfast and brunch spot. If you haven't yet given it a try you are definitely missing out. I actually like it way better than Eggspectations. The food seems a little more fresh with better healthy options and accommodations in my opinion. Our host Mariah was absolutely amazing. She honestly is what made my experience top tier. Her attention to detail, warm spirit and patience was above and beyond. She is truly a rare gem. I ordered a veggie omelet -egg white only. It came with onions, peppers, mushrooms, and avocado just like I prefer. I went with the fruit option instead of home-fries and I'm glad that I did. It wasn't your typical fruit bowl, this has blueberries, banana, mango, strawberry, and melon. YUMMY! I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I would definitely go back with friends and family and I'm most certainly requesting Mariah if possible. read more

Believe the hype! I finally visted and soon as i pulled up, I realized this is where Eggspectation used to be some years ago. I met up with friends who been before and they always had great things to say about JAM! They don't take reservations here so you'll have to get on the waitlist via the Yelp app and they'll text you. This system works! Our server, Erick was great! Thank you! It was busy on a Sunday morning and he still provided excellent service. Checked in frequently on us and made suggestions! Since it was my first time here I decided to do the mimosa flght. I didn't care much for the strawberry and blackberry flavors but I loved the passionfruit and island flavors! This was a good way to figure out what you like. We ended up splitting a carafe of the passionfruit! Definitely worth it. For food, I had the chicken and waffle. It wasn't bad but the waffle was a tad dry! I would try something else next time. Yes, I'd definitely visit again! read more

Oh. Oh wow. Sounds like this is where Eggspectations used to be. And having been to the one in Gambrills and enjoying it, whatever took its place had a standard to live up to. I don't think this place disappointed at all. A few of my friends had been hyping up this place for a minute, and our schedules finally aligned so we could come out. They don't take reservations, but there's a waitlist you can get on, and my friend had been watching it since like 9:30am. We had all planned to show up and be seated at 11:30... and seating happened right around 11:35am. That's how you work a waitlist, great job friend! I was the last one to show up, and we were seated right next to a window. Our server was a very kind gentleman named Erick. Given how busy the restaurant seems to always be during brunch time, especially on weekends, I have to admit I had my concerns about how service was going to be... but Erick was awesome. He answered any questions we had and was quite diligent about checking on us throughout our time there. We all pretty much got mimosa flights, and it had 4 flavors that I'll list in order from most to least favorite: passion fruit, island, blackberry, strawberry. I will say that the strawberry & blackberry were fantastic together, though they were my two least favorites. The presentation was lovely, and for $15... great amount. The food... oh God. As if the standard menu wasn't enough, there was a featured specials menu that had even more options, including Cinnamon Toast Crunch French Toast that I absolutely could not resist. I got the breakfast combo, so it came with scrambled eggs, turkey sausage (my protein of choice), and home fries. Everything... everything was wonderful. The home fries were seasoned well with onions & peppers, and the French toast was everything I could've hoped for. I want to get back to this spot asap and explore more of the menu... but a weekday may be better, though that'll be hard with work and such. This is an awesome place though. And they have quite the display of desserts you can't help but notice when you first enter and on your way out... how dangerous! read more

Somehow I have NEVER written a review for JAM???!!! I've been here what feels like 20 times! What the heck?! Okay first thing's first: Jason is the best waiter PERIOD. He only works Saturdays, but if you want, ask to sit in his section when you come to JAM! Now... let's discuss. JAM is ALWAYSSSSS fire. The food is always SO GOOD, I have been here so many times and have NEVER been disappointed or upset with the food (with the exception of ONCE I got the fruit plate and I would NOT recommend) or the service. I have ordered several different items, but my go tos are usually the Short Rib Hash and hot chocolate. Something about the hash just hits - with an over medium egg and add avocado??? Yeah, banger. Although it's dang near always busy (especially if it's a weekend and you're thinking brunch), the service is always so good - the food comes out fast and fresh, and all of the staff are great. The vibes are good, the tables aren't too close together and the space is so cute. They also have several different seating areas to include main dining room area, a patio, a bar, a party-room type area, and various booths and tables throughout (I have sat in every one of these areas lol - the patio is awesome, although the tables are small). Also, LOVE that the restrooms are single occupancy, all-gender/gender-inclusive. I will say that the restrooms are often a bit of a mess, I think just because especially when it's busy, the staff just doesn't have time to get to them like they probably should. They aren't outright dirty, but they tend to be overflowing on trash and splashes everywhere and can be sticky (... yeah). The ambiance is also often quite loud - lots of talking and music, so don't think you're going to come here and have a nice quiet brunch situation because that AINT IT. That notwithstanding, I LOVE LOVE LOVE JAM. *The parking can be a mess, so when it's busy, just save yourself the time and park in the structure across the street. ALSO, USE THE WAITLIST!!!!! Don't play yourself!!! Waiting when it's busy is veryyyyyyyy uncomfy (for me! LOL). read more

Nice little brunch spot. Perfect for a weekend morning gathering with your friends. Not too loud, plenty of natural light, cozy decor, multiple rooms separate the noise levels. Menu has all of the brunch staples. I went for the burrito and my friend did the huevos rancheros. No complaints, we enjoyed our food. One of the better brunch places in the DMV. Makes sense why the wait time here is always so long. Come by in person and be prepared to wait for your table but know that its worth it (if you have time). read more

We came here around noon on Saturday and it was insanely busy - over an hour and a half wait for a table. We ended up sitting at the bar/in front of the open kitchen after a little while instead of waiting for a table. It was fun and entertaining to watch the cooks make the meals in front of you, but the food did take about incredibly long time to come out. And after all that waiting, it wasn't really anything spectacular - just a good brunch. Eggs, bacon, and potatoes is pretty standard and I didnt expect anything special there, but I had high hopes for the croissant French toast and it was good but nothing I would wait an hour and a half for lol I did ask for some fresh strawberries to cut through the sweetness of the sauce and cream on the toast, and that gave it a much needed freshness and zing, so I do recommend adding that. Definitely a solid brunch choice, just maybe on a day it's not so incredibly busy! read more

I eat here other enough so this review is for the items I had. The seafood pasta was very good however the crepes were not my favorite. The service was stellar from the server. He was very attentive and checked in frequent providing refills, boxes, etc. The seating arrangement for the party of 7 felt secluded. For large parties Jam offers a back room separate from the main dining area. It is spacious but doesn't have the main floor decor and feel. All in all the experience was a 4 of 5 I think having a different batter for the crepes could improve the quality of the texture and taste. Thanks Jam Eateries read more

I came to JAM after one of our friends recommended it. A group of us enjoyed brunch there. I was extremely pleased with everything about my visit. There was a 45 min wait but we were seated only 10 min later. The service was exceptional. Our server was very friendly and gave us great menu suggestions. The menu options was so large that I find it impossible for someone to not find something they would like. I ordered the Griddle combo with Caramel Apple Pie French toast. I was sooo good. The combo came with two eggs, a breakfast meat option (I chose bacon), and home fries. I also tasted fried pickles, Brussel sprouts, calamari, strawberry crepe, and the seafood pasta. Everything was delicious. The drinks were strong and tasty. Everything on the menu also seemed reasonably priced and the portion sizes were large. I will absolutely be back. read more
