But when the check came, we were charged $3.50 for each side!

PS: They also charge for credit card use. $45.57 for lunch seems excessive.

I ordered the full stack of French toast with bananas, strawberries, and blueberries, and a side of sausage links. My wife had the west Coast scrambler which consisted of eggs, avocado, pepper jack cheese, tomatoes, and scallions. Our friends ordered the chorizo burger with fries, and pastrami on rye with a side of coleslaw. As a coffee snob, I would say the coffee was very good. Everything came out cooked fresh and hot. Plenty of fresh fruit on top of my French toast. I heard the chorizo burger was different and delicious. Most of the plates went back clean. Portions were very generous. The service was excellent and friendly. The prices are reasonable. There is plenty of parking in their private parking lot. Worth the trip if you are in the area.

The menu is MASSIVE, don't come if you're indecisive or if you don't plan to come back to try more dishes !

We enjoyed everything we ordered (the afternoon waffle section was a fun twist on a sandwich and proved you can have it all!) and are already scheming what we will have next time we come back!

But after the third time, I felt others should know about my experience. I have no complaints about the food or staff, except for the receptionist. Since I eat alone, I'm always offered a seat at the counter, but I'm not comfortable eating next to strangers while facing all the commotion behind the counter. So I always ask for a table, and I don't mind waiting when it's busy. This time, when I told the receptionist I preferred a table, she made a face, probably without realizing it, and told me only a counter seat was available. I took the basket of silverware she handed me and walked over, only to find there were no seats at the counter at all. After waiting a few minutes and feeling increasingly frustrated, I went back to the podium, set the basket down, and left. Honestly, I felt so unwelcome that I'm not sure I'll go back.

As a current student of the high school nearby this establishment, I feel as though it is only…read moreright that I give a proper review to my favorite lunch spot of all time. Not only does the food taste truthfully out of this world, but you will also find that the service is incredible! From the moment you walk inside, you are met with a ton of friendly faces who without a doubt will treat you just like family. They are incredibly kind people who put hard effort into making sure that each meal is prepared with care, and that each person feels safe and comfortable under their roof. I must also comment that I myself am a very picky eater with odd sensory difficulties. It is typically very difficult for me to find many foods or meals that I feel are safe to eat, and that don't trigger any sort of reluctance. However at Thymes, they offer a wide variety of different meals and desserts, so locating something that I felt was both appetizing and safe to eat was no problem at all. I've been a proud frequent flier for the past 3 years, and without a doubt intend to keep going back as much as possible before I go off to college next year. To say that I will genuinely miss Thymes and more so the generous souls that have always been there for me is an understatement. More than five stars if I could. Keep up the amazing work.

Good food only goes so far when the customer service makes you not want to return. After our most recent experience, I even sent the owner a private message directly rather than immediately posting a negative review, giving them an opportunity to respond or at least acknowledge the issue. I never received a response. That was really the final straw for me. Mistakes happen and service can have an off day, but completely ignoring a customer who reaches out directly says a lot. There are too many places in the area with both good food and good service. We won't be back.

We started off with a mocha which was super tasty and not overly sweet. For a main course, I got the breakfast combo and chose pancakes, scrambled eggs, pork roll, and salad. The pancakes were definitely my favorite and I enjoyed the butter and syrup combo (although they definitely would be better with some toppings). The egg and pork roll felt very oily to me, which was very unappetizing. The salad was also not very great.. mostly just spinach and a very vinegar-y dressing. I'd definitely order something different if I were to come back again. But still, the ambience was nice and the server we had was very friendly, which elevated our experience.

And, no I am not awarding four stars for the service approach towards diners ... she did refill my coffee mug once and then surprisingly just took the creamers away without asking (I drink my coffee black but she didn't know that.). Clearly she has favorites because the guy in the booth next to me got the lovey-dovey "hon" treatment. The Sand Castle has a feeling of having been worn down by the waves through the years type of place because many of the booth chairs and counter chairs exhibit wear and even more than a few tears. On a cold November Saturday morning I could feel the chill as I sat in my booth sipping my coffee (And, I wasn't anywhere close to the front door.). So onto the four stars ... but don't say I didn't warn you about service and ambiance. Well, it feels like a shore diner and I like that feel but yea worn out a bit. Quite awhile ago stopped by for dinner and the food was really good with lots of tempting options. I always judge diners by their soup and the soup was top notch! Our meals were enjoyable at a reasonable price. And, then I just forgot to review the diner. But decided to return for breakfast today after a long Friday night. Coffee arrived promptly and was really decent coffee but the amazing part of my breakfast was how quickly the really wall prepared omelette was served. It was like in the blink of any eye and for many a promptly delivered breakfast meal is a real plus (I appreciated it!!!!). Although the waitress really didn't want to be bothered with me the rather short diner breakfast menu had the classics and that quickly prepared omelette was a tasty WESTERN. The homefries were really good ... actually they were great even without onions in them (Waitress never asked if I'd like onions and rushed away so I didn't ask but these potatoes didn't need onions.). Toast was toast and the jam/jelly selection was universally grape jelly with one orange marmalade. A very good breakfast and I wasn't here to make friends just to warm up ooops ok, so I didn't warm up but the coffee helped, and to do some work. Still worth the food if you're in the neighborhood!
