It comes with one side, and I chose potato salad--I could have eaten a gallon of it, very flavorful and the perfect accompaniment!

From day one, the experience has been nothing short of amazing. The food is consistently delicious, and the lattes are easily some of the best we've ever had crafted with care and always hitting the mark. But what really sets this place apart is the people behind it. The owners are genuinely incredible, warm, welcoming, and intentional about making sure every customer feels taken care of. You can feel the love and pride they put into their business, and it shows in every detail. It's places like this that remind us why supporting small, Black-owned businesses matters so much.

My total for the eggs and the pizza came out to $11 and that doesn't even include drink cause I brought my own water. so I'm guessing I paid six dollars for this soggy roasted pepper pizza that look like it came out of a high school cafeteria or a real skating ring. I paid a lot of money for it so I tried to eat it, but I couldn't . So I took it home and my dog enjoyed it. Will I be coming back to this place? Probably not. The place is clean and the staff were friendly and I guess it's called the market because of the variety of drinks that they offer cold drinks. I mean there was wine, beer, water, juice, drinks, TH sea drinks, as well as fountain drinks. It's the only reason why this has a three out of five because the angel eggs were really good.

It's pirate themed and has epic Lego creations. My son loves the area where kids can play with Legos and it's nice for the parents too as it gives them a break. The food is served family style and you get a lot of bang for your buck as you can reorder as many things as you'd like. We chose the Pirate Platter which includes: a delicious salad with apples and pecan and honey bread upfront, then a platter of assorted meats such as brisket, steak, sausage, chicken, and ribs. The brisket is our favorite. It comes with green beans, mashed potatoes, and mac and cheese. I really wanted to try some of the vegan platter so they brought that out for me at no extra charge. For dessert, we got a pan cookie with ice cream as well as the vegan chocolate fondue with fruits and marsh mallows. All of this unlimited for only $39 per adult and $19 per child with drinks included. Delicious and such a fun dinner experience! Since I stayed at the hotel, I also came here for breakfast as it is included in the stay. Breakfast is the same across all three Legoland hotels. It's also served family style and includes scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits, gravy, French toast or pancakes. You can add fruits, yoghurts, cereal, oatmeal at no up charge. And it also includes drinks such as coffee, milks, juices, etc. The staff was very accommodating about letting me take things to go and ordering extra stuff.
