It was so weak we thought we were drinking tea. The meal was just ok. Too many really good breakfast places to choose from that I won't need to drive across town anymore. It's more a neighborhood place. They are very friendly to those they know. Waited forever to get our bill that's how much we were ignored. As I walked out I reminded myself that this is my last time walking out those doors. We used to look forward to coming out to Tommy's but though the years quality and service have fallen.

When it was The Crest, the space was elevated but this still felt like a similar vibe but more retro. We ordered the large pancake to share. Fluffy with nice crispy edges! I decided to get the à la carte biscuits and gravy which was huge! I couldn't finish it and had leftovers. My sister got the breakfast sando. It was in their English muffin that they make in house. Wow! And my friend got a club sandwich with a side of the potatoes. They were well seasoned and crispy! We were all very impressed with the food! I don't go out to breakfast much but would love to come back here. Lots of good stuff on the menu! Tons of parking too since they share with a gym.

First time my wife and daughter stopped before our daughter headed overseas for two years in the Peace Corps. Scotty''s is super close and convenient to the airport. Scotty learned of the imminent departure and came with cookies and treats for the long flight! And now this morning it was another airport drop off. It was my turn, dining alone but nothing about a table for one at Scotty's is lonely. The staff are immediately welcoming and every customer is every employee's charge. Four different people helped me or just checked in. The Gina breakfast combos have lots to offer for breakfast. But I was thrilled this 9:30 am to be assured the whole menu was available. I was looking for something less common and was excited to see potato latkes with sour cream and apple sauce as an option. That would have been great but then the waitress (Salome maybe) said, "Do you like corned beef?" The Schmoozer is 3 enormous latkes with thinly shaved and lightly grilled corn beef on top with an over easy egg atop that. Seriously, I can declare victory for finding something I'd never had before. Never would have found it without the nudge. Had to cut myself off with all the coffee offers. Just a great vibe. You rarely see a 4.9 rating and even more rarely that high based on so many reviews. But I understand why - like in so many things in life, it is about the people. And the joy they bring to every conversation. And I will just add, in this age when some would divide us, this dining room is filled with all manner of folks, reveling together over food in fellowship.

We are in the Eastmoor Area, so this was close. Stav's is a traditional dinner with some two-tops along the wall and the counter. There were two open tables, and we were seated right away. Our server was right there, asking about coffee or drinks and offering a menu. Coffee was served in a good-sized mug. I had a western omelet with hash browns, rye toast, and coffee. My wife had a mushroom omelet. Our food was out very quickly. Our meal was good but not extraordinary. If you are looking for a breakfast or lunch place on the Eastside, give these folks a try.

They have been in the same location for a very long time and it only took us 13 years of living in our home to find them. We headed over there right away and found a nice sized parking lot with a small unimpressive building. We headed in and were greeted immediately with a smile and instructions to sit wherever we wanted. The decor is pop culture from the 1950's with pictures of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis and James Dean on the walls, as well as newspaper articles of big events from back in the day. We ordered a typical breakfast of eggs, bacon, home fries and toast with our food coming out within 10 minutes. Delicious!!! The food was fresh, the eggs were cooked just the way we ordered them, the toast was buttered and warm, the home fries were crispy and the bacon was perfect!

Kind of overwhelming but at least they have enough options for everyone. I tried the fried chicken Benny while my friend got some kind of dish that came with toast, eggs, and grilled veg. The food was decent. It's diner quality so it does the job. Hot, filling, and reasonably priced. I also tried the pistachio rose latte while my friend got a shot of espresso. Not really the thing to order here. Probably will stick with black coffee next time. They take cash, card, and Apple Pay (only at the counter). Parking is chaotic. Tons of people coming in and out but still plenty of spots.
