The scrambled eggs were not scrambled. They were flattened, like it was made for a breakfast sandwich, then chopped up. The texture was not good. I wish I read the other reviews about the eggs. I expected real butter and not a butter spread for my biscuits. The sausage and biscuits were just ok. I recommend the restaurant changes how they cook scrambled eggs and get real butter for the biscuits and toast.

After staying here in southern Illinois for work, I was told they had decent breakfast. I forget servers name but she was great.

The homemade Thousand Island was on the side so I could add just the right amount. Sandwiches came with a side. Mine was perfectly creamy coleslaw. The Chicken Salad Salad was hand made pulled chicken salad on top of a bowl of mixed greens. It was large enough for two. Most salads and sandwiches were north of $10. That might seem pricey, but with Sara's being practically the only lunchtime spot for miles around of this tourist community we're fortunate they didn't charge more.

Got some good breakfast at this bakery and cafe in Carbondale. It has things for breakfast and…read morelunch to be exact. Longbranch is a long time favorite in town. Come in the morning for pancakes or come later for cupcakes and pie. The menu has lots of vegan options for those avoiding butter, eggs, and that kind of stuff. Charming interior that has a coziness about it. It's just as much of a bakery as it is a cafe, with display cases full of goodies and sweets. There's a good amount of indoor dining too. A lot come in here to pick up baked items at the counter. If dining in, have a seat. The menu is actually kind of big with tons of things. It's about $7 for a large latte. Kind of pricy, as far as coffee goes but it's good though. Has some non dairy milks. It's about $11 for the Vegan Waffles. Hearty and filling. There's also other plant based offerings such as tofu bowls at lunch. Has the best baked goods around. It's closed Mondays and Tuesdays. There's lots of things for vegans and vegetarians.
