    Cake and Eggs Breakfast
    Bailey B.

    Really more like a 3.5 because I don't have any huge complaints, but I also probably wouldn't go out of my way to return here and so that makes it more comfortably in the realm of a 3 than a 4 for me. Came here after a doctor's appointment at around 11 on a Monday. There's not a ton of parking and the location is a little nondescript. I walked into a dimly lit but spacious setup. It's a little shopworn inside but seems clean enough. I was instructed to seat myself where I liked. The restaurant wasn't super crowded but the acoustics are such that sound carries and it was a little loud. I took a booth that wound up having a very uncomfy cushion, but I didn't want to confuse the staff by moving so I dealt with it. A waiter came by soon to drop off a menu. They serve breakfast all day and have some plate lunches. A lot of reviewers complained about the lunch options seeming canned or just not as fresh, so I decided I'd do a late breakfast/breakfast for lunch to ensure I got fresh food. They do a cake and eggs special that comes with scrambled eggs and pancakes. I got that with hash browns and bacon and a sweet tea to drink. The prices are reasonable here. My food came out to me quickly but not so quickly it didn't seem fresh. Overall, it was decent! My sweet tea wasn't super flavorful but it was thirst quenching. I think the best things were probably the pancakes; they weren't standout but just simple cakes cooked well and served hot. The scrambled eggs were fine too, though I wished for a little salsa or hot sauce to put on them. Hash browns were standard; a little under-crispy for me beneath the very crispy top, but I like them practically crunchy. One thing that was VERY crunchy was the bacon. I like my bacon cooked pretty well, but this was beyond that; I don't think I even finished it because it was just so crispy and hard. That was the low point. Again, nothing was really bad but simultaneously nothing really stood out, and given how far away from me this restaurant is I doubt I'll make a special trip. One thing that did stand out to me was a few dishes like chilaquiles and burritos on the menu. I noticed the wait staff were all speaking to each other in Spanish. I wonder if I missed out on the good stuff? Might be worth a try. If you're in the area, this'll do for a fast and adequately prepared local breakfast.

    A very nice place to eat. The prices have stayed reasonable and the food is always hot and fresh. I had the pancakes on my last visit and I have to say that they were some of the best I've ever had.

    Chicken fried steak
    Rich S.

    The chicken fried steak was excellent, and I liked that they delivered the gravy on the side. Hash browns were perfectly cooked, and the scrambled eggs were A-OK. Service was very friendly, and the restaurant was clean. I'd be a regular if I lived in Madison. Cheers! RS

    Outstanding service, delicious food and very clean (including the bathrooms). Expertly managed and well deserving of their reputation!

    BLT Sandwich and Hash browns with onions and cheese.

    Had some time to kill on a Friday morning before a doctors appointment. I had never been to Mia's and was in the area. Server: Andres, a pleasure to have met him. Wonderful personality. The restaurant has a certain charm about it. Several tables of little old men chatting and scheming. An old married couple that looks as if this is this is their routine place for Friday. The smell of coffee, clanking of cooking utensils hitting the cook top, and the soft hum of one big collective conversation underscored by classic Christmas music. I wasn't particularly hungry so I kept it simple with a BLT and Hash browns w/ onion and cheese. The hash browns turned out to be the star of the plate. A perfect crunch on the outside and a nice soft texture in the middle. Perfect southern Sunday morning breakfast on a Friday. The onions weren't over-powering and the cheese even had a noticeably good flavor. Owner: head chef, and he's not afraid to come out of the kitchen to say hello to his regulars. The owner used to run the entire cafe, but now he's in the kitchen and he wants it to stay that way There's something to be said about a place where the owner is on the grill. It means means that you're bound to have something that was made with love because you have to love to be on the grill. It's just a hard place to work, but as the owner it also gives you a greater measure of Quality Control. They are closed on Monday (I would be too if it were me) and they close after lunch.

Our food was great as well. Zero complaints on what we ate that day. Orange juice was also very good.

Most of the wait staff was wearing very tattered clothing and the worst offender was the bus boy. Although he was working his tail off, he looked like he hadn't showed in several days and hadn't washed his clothes in a week. His bus tub was disgusting. As he was cleaning the table beside us, he put the tub in the table top and as I turned my head to look over I lost my appetite seeing the condition of the tub. To know that he put it on top of the table made me even more disgusted. Not only was he bussing tables but he was also taking plates of food to tables. I, personally, would not have accepted food from him because it's very unlikely he washed his hands after cleaning tables off. Our waiter was nice but he looked very sloppy. I realize I'm not at a white table cloth restaurant but at least make sure the serve staff looks presentable. We won't be back.

    Sweet Hubs got another to go order from here a week or so ago. The order was someone else's order…read more Hubs is generally non picky and he enjoyed the meals received. I was surprised he liked hot sauce on his eggs, for example, and he said he did, which is great because one dish came with extra hot sauce. I reheated the grits the following day and they were actually good! That was the highlight of this take out meal for me. I thought the gravy in one of the dishes was sausage gravy, because doesn't everyone in the south add sausage to their gravy? But, it was just plain gravy. Boo! The eggs were pretty dead looking the next day (not their fault, I know), so I didn't try any of them. The bacon was undercooked for my preference but could have been easily remedied by popping in the air fryer. That was more effort than I wanted to expend on salvaging these dishes. Hubs is a biscuit fan and he was happy to devour whatever I did not, and again, he had no complaints which is excellent! I am not a biscuit fan at all, I just can't make myself like biscuit-forward dishes. I'm not even a fan of potatoes, which were in several of the dishes. They appeared to be prepared well, just did not appeal to me.

    Came here a couple of weeks ago to have a quick lunch. Having also recently dined at Big Bad…read moreBreakfast, I'd say this place edges it out for me, though the experience was still more or less just okay. There's ample parking and the restaurant was clean, airy, and open. You order at the counter here. While their focus is biscuits, they have other offerings like waffles, hash bowls, and even tacos. The service was very friendly though my food was a little slow to come out. In their defense, I think some folks from the corporate office were there assessing the place and they ordered almost everything lol. I had the hash bowl with scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese. I enjoyed the array of different goodies inside the bowl and the ingredients were balanced -- not too much of any particular item. The mushrooms were a little slimy and the eggs were a little hard for my preference but the potatoes were crispy and the chopped bacon was perfect. Oddly, despite the somewhat long wait for my food, the whole dish wasn't as hot as I'd have liked for it to be. It wasn't cold, just not piping. Overall, I had a pleasant time. I wouldn't necessarily make a special trip just to come here, but it's a decent choice for quick service breakfast/lunch/brunch in the area.
