Came in on a Tuesday around 11:30 AM for lunch. We were really hoping that we beat the crowds…read morebecause we usually don't go here anymore only because we don't like to wait and wait to be seated and then wait some more. What can I say? We were really hungry and really wanted their food and they have a nice variety on their menu. So we waited. It didn't even seem like there were that many people waiting or on the waiting list. Nonetheless, we waited probably 20 minutes in the entry. They called our name and seated us. They have a lot of tables set up throughout their space. I see there is seating upstairs but not sure when/if they seat up there. Their restrooms are now gender neutral and one toilet. That's nice! There was a changing table in the one I visited. The server came around within about five minutes and when we ordered our food, It took about another 20 to 25 minutes. I had time to shop the whole adjacent store, make a purchase and still waited awhile for our food. This is always a period of time that feels like it takes forever because by now you're starving and have looked at all of their sweets in the display case while in the waiting area and smelled all the cinnamon scented candles and the food being prepared in the kitchen. My Linda's brother-in-law scramble was delicious. I opted for the bacon sprinkled. It didn't seem like 4 dollars worth of bacon and there's plenty of flavor in that scramble otherwise. $23.54 with the bacon sprinkles. My hubby had the country biscuits and gravy, and he said it was good. $17.79. My husband did mention that he was disappointed that the country biscuit and gravy didn't automatically come with their breakfast potatoes. You have to choose- eggs OR potatoes. He ordered a side of breakfast potatoes, and it was a small bowl. $6.50. We shared the French toast and took most of that to go as well as some of the hash. $14.99. It was plain. We both had water to drink and had to ask for a refill. That all came up to $68.47 plus tip. The receipt says, "If you pay cash, your total may be rounded per this location's payment policy." I didn't see what that policy says.

Calico Cupboard is one of those places that you NEED to go to when you're in town…read more When you get there, you just sign in yourself at the stand which is a good system so no one has to check you in when they're already pretty busy. While you're waiting you can go to the shop down the stairs or go to the dessert area right next to the waiting area to get some great desserts. Last time i was there I saw frosted cream cheese sugar cookies, and pies, and more. When you get seated there are so many great food options, lots of options, same with drinks. They are only open until 3:30 pm so be sure to manage time well. And don't expect an empty place, it's usually populated. Tight space, so scoot in those chairs as far as you can. Staff were laid back, and nice. When they're busy make sure to be patient with the staff, they're dealing with tons of other orders as well.

So freaking good!…read more The food was amazing and the service was so friendly! We ordered an arabic shawarma wrap with chicken, beef and lamb gyro, and pita and hummus. Portions were huge and the food was absolutely delicious. The pita was amazingly soft. We will be making this a regular stop whenever we are in the area!

This afternoon I stopped at Hot Gyros Mediterranean Grill in downtown Mt. Vernon. They were very…read morebusy when I walked in, but the staff was very friendly while I waited. I had to of course order the traditional Lamb & Beef gyro, and I had to try the Greek fries. The food came out very quick and I started with the Greek Fries. Tangy garlic sauce with feta and a blend of mediterranean spices on top of a pile of perfectly crispy fries. For some reason I can't explain, mediterranean restaurants constantly have the best french fries and this spot is no different. These were full of flavor and I would highly recommend ordering them. When I opened the gyro box I was a little surprised with how much lettuce was on top. It made it fairly difficult to get a hand around the peta, and by the time I did it basically fell apart. It ended up being very messy and I had to eat most of it with a fork. The gyro had amazing flavor and every ingredient was delicious I was just a little disappointed that I couldn't pick it up and enjoy everything together. I would still recommend giving this place a shot, and their menu had many other dishes and sandwiches I will have to come back and try.

The fun of having them bring the food to your car on a window tray brings back happy memories from my childhood. The landscaping is beautiful too. The Mount Vernon one had a giant rabbit statue in the back. Pretty cute. The food is delicious. Try a banana milkshake. You won't be disappointed.

When I first moved to this area I was surprised at the lack of drive-in fast food options like…read moreSonic. Fast forward many years later and I come to find out about Burgermaster - a local chain which apparently has been around since the 1950s. Right off the bat, the service was exceptional which is a rarity nowadays. The Double BaconMaster I ordered was juicy and the patties cooked to perfection. Fries and coffee shake were also delicious. This location offered plenty of order stalls and convenient access off I-5. For a quick bite solo or with the family - stop by Burgermaster!

I really wanted to like this place :(…read more We waited 30 minutes for our table (which is totally fine) but once seated, waited for our drinks, had to flag down a server to receive our order, and then waited another 30 to get the food. Sadly, the food was mediocre, at best. I imagine, as a business, they're also wasting so much money on portion sizes. Huge meals do not equate to quality. I really wanted to love it because it's a family restaurant but there was a lot left to be desired. Cons: - The majority of our experience was spent waiting - The staff seemed confused and very overwhelmed - The food was boring and didn't look good on the plate (I got the biscuits and gravy, my friend got chicken fried steak) Pros: - The staff was very friendly - Bathroom was clean - The freshly squeezed orange juice was incredible - Everyone seemed to be trying their best, I think the system just needs a lot of work
