We noticed her several minutes later serving other tables. More minutes past when I asked another server, Brook, if she could bring us another server to take our order. Brook was exceptional in taking an interest in our visit. Brook brought us our beverages immediately and took our food order. Nevah later came by with what seemed like a less than sincere apology. We told Brook we would ask for her in future visit. Upon leaving to pay, the young short girl, her name tag was turned over. She had extremely long thick eye lashes. She was extremely rude and stand offish. No kind words after taking our payment she immediately went back to her conversation with a co-worker. We will be back and will ask for Brook.

Plenty of parking, friendly service (wish my server had a name tag so I could hype him up), and a cozy, family‑friendly vibe that mixes classic diner charm with a modern twist. I ordered the Philly omelet with herb fries and pancakes. The portions were huge, the omelet was packed with flavor, and while the herb fries could've been a little crispier, they were still tasty. The pancake was solid, and the coffee... well, it wasn't exactly coffee‑ing, but caffeine is caffeine. Clean space, good food, great service. I'd definitely recommend giving them a try.

She knows her stuff-knows how to ask the right questions so that you get what you really want. For instance, I was on the fence about having biscuits and gravy but I asked if the gravy was really peppery. She offered to get me a small taste and although it was delicious, I've been a little under the weather so I decided I didn't want anything really heavy. Instead I ordered the 3 egg scramble with their smoked ham and added cheese-it was really good and a huge serving including their potatoes and English muffin. I'll probably be able to make two more meals from this serving! My husband ordered the eggs Benedict and asked which potatoes they would be able to make the most crispy as we both like our potatoes crispy. She suggested the hash browns and even asked if he wanted them crispy on both sides which was a great way to get them the way he wanted. Those kinds of gestures really make the difference when you're dining out. The eggs Benedict and the hash browns were delicious, btw. :) Camryn had a great personality too-very friendly, bright and quick. She did a great job of checking in on all of her tables. When we go back I hope we are lucky enough to have Camryn serve us again but all of the servers seemed very friendly as well. Great job, Izzy's and Camryn!

Well dang. After consistent letdowns from this place it's time to say something and change my…read morerating. This place used to be top 3 for me in terms of breakfast. I've made this my destination breakfast for birthdays, weekends, friends brunches. This was literally the spot. The last 3 times though.... A bummer. The first letdown... these cooks have a tendency to overload their scrambles with uncooked green onions. While it may be good for others, it's not good for me. So i will CONSISTENTLY ask for light green onions. The first let down... a waitress who has been there for a while.. tried to gaslight me into thinking that if I had asked for light green onions, it'd be "a laughable amount". I asked for it anyways and it came packed with green onions. She ate her words, apologized and discounted our breakfast. The second time, the same waitress... the same interaction... but this time it came with zero green onions. She came back and said "it's either all or nothing haha". That was unnecessary. The third time... asking a completely different waitress.... Completely different interaction. 30min later, the omlette comes out packed with green onions and the waitress ignores us for the duration of our stay. So no breakfast for me lol. I understand I'm the picky eater. But dang. I wanna waste the food and not a literal bunch of green onions from the prep bin. The one thing they seem to be consistent on is goofing up my order, so it's time to move on.

The croissant was buttery and flaky, stuffed with eggs and cheese, and everything tasted fresh. The potatoes were well-seasoned with peppers and onions, nice crisp on them, and the sauce on the side added a good kick. Portion size was solid too, definitely filling. Service was awesome and the inside decor was a sight to see too. Overall, great breakfast spot with good flavor, presentation, and quality. I'll definitely be back to try more off the menu.

I asked the hostess if we could sit outside and she sent me across the sidewalk to wait for a different hostess, so she could send me and told me they had their own hostess for outdoor service. The waitress was nice enough but took forever to come by and take our order, and even longer for the food to arrive. Luckily, we weren't in a hurry. The music was good to listen to. The food is terribly priced for what you. $24 for a steak salad, but the steak had no flavor whatsoever. It probably dried out in the fridge while waiting days or weeks to be ordered. Now, since the location was good and you spend a while there anyway, I might try it again; but only for guac & chips with a cold beer. That should be pretty good.

I also love watching the planes take off & land from the side. This place is perfect for families, foodies, and plane lovers in your life! They have plenty of seats & parking on a busy weekend afternoon. Thank you again for the great food & service. Recommendation: Country Fried Steak with potatoes, fresh squeezed orange juice and unlimited coffee.

Everything is well decorated and maintained. I would say very festive! There's live music on Sundays and Wednesdays. I would love to come back on a Wednesday for the Latin Jazz. The food was amazing! We felt like it was authentic and reasonable price point. For the table, they brought out lots of chips and salsa. It was nice and crispy and flavorful. Not spicy, though. I had ordered the Hacienda Carne Asada. It was a flamed broil skirt steak with a cheese enchilada, rice, beans, and guacamole. The beans came inside a fried tortilla bowl. OH MY! It was so good. I am embarrassed to say, I kept on eating and talking even though I was full. Overall, we had a great time! The food was delicious. The service was amazing. Ample parking.

The Ranchero Skillet was really good, the cinnamon pancakes were delicious, and the milkshakes were so good. The kids got the Minnie Mouse pancakes and really enjoyed them. The only disappointment was the steak and hash browns. The steak was pretty plain and didn't have much flavor, and the hash browns were also pretty bland. That was actually the meal I was looking forward to the most, so I was a little disappointed, especially considering the price. Overall, we had a good experience and the kids really enjoyed their food. I'd definitely come back, but I'd probably order something different next time.
