    CBH bowl
    Queenieko M.

    I give this place a 3.5/5. We came in on a rainy day on our way back west and I found this on yelp. So I stopped in. It was very busy but, we must have arrived at a good time because we sat down within 15 minutes. We ordered our food and waited for it to arrive. The prices are majority 15.85 (or it said 15.58) and I'm not sure why, but it's odd and reasonable. The service was very slow to be honest. We seen our waitress when she took our order, dropped off our food and we paid for the bill. The CBH (corn beef hash bowl) would have been excellent if they would have used actual Swiss cheese as listed. It was more of a white cheddar or white American they used. It came off as a cheese sauce when it melted into the food which I did not enjoy. The corn beef was good and the peppers were fresh. The potatoes weren't bad either. But that cheese ruined my dish. The Oreo pan cakes were filling and a good portion. The best thing were the fried biscuits. I would come back here just to eat that on the menu. I do wish you had more than 2 for the prices, but they were very good. I will say they had the weather channel on and I did enjoy that. Usually you get some kind of news station and that's not always enjoyable. But the channel of choice was great. The biggest hit I think is the bat. If you like having a breakfast cocktail, this can be your place. They also have more than just breakfast. They have special sandwiches, burgers and salads it seems. I would give them another try if I'm being honest because it wasn't bad at all. And when I do, I will update my review for a second time.

    Egg whites and toast
    Billy L.

    Great service and great food. We were heading back from Somerset Mall and this came up as a good recommended restaurant for breakfast. I got my usual boring side of egg whites and rye toast and the rye was very thick. My friend got a standard breakfast with eggs, potatoes, bacon and toast. He really liked How the eggs were cooked perfectly and commented that the bacon wasn't too salty. The potato's were just so so.

    Decent breakfast, service was slightly slow. The place is pretty big with decent amount of seats. They were busy and place was still pretty clean

    Arrived shortly after 10AM on a Sunday. Ordered a coffee, gym bro, banana berry oat crunch bowl, garden omelet, added avocado ($4), spinach and side of turkey sausage on the side. $60.52 Coffee is standard, but they have my husband's Delight creamers. Gym Bro wasn't bad, heavy on the potatoes, but luckily they were all on the bottom and could easily be left behind. Garden omelet with the add-ons were okay. The oatmeal was bland and average, not steel cut, which is my preferred. The rye here is thick cut, it's so-so. The English muffin was okay. The fruit salad is an option on the omelet or its potatoes. Too much potatoes. The side of turkey was quite tasteless. Condiment choices are limited, but at least they have Tabasco with chipotle. Service was good.

    Great breakfast place with delicious food, great service, and a nice atmosphere!! We will definitely be back soon.

    Avo burger

    Delicious breakfast. Their fries are perfectly crispy. Also had good service. Felt like they were frequently checking in with you. The place had a nice, brunch vibe. Not a huge place so you may have difficulty with groups larger than 4-6.

    French Toast Banna Split (My sister loved it! Said it was the best French toast she ever had in her life)
    Christin-Marie L.

    First off they closed at 3 we got there at 2:28 we were surprised that they were very willing to make food. The place is clean. The waitress were very polite! We all enjoyed our meals! They make some delicious mimosas! We will be back again! We went for my sister's birthday it was first time going somewhere fancy and not a chain restaurant. This place is a hidden gem

    Bro bowl with rye bread
    Michael T.

    Had high expectations based on the reviews but could have been better based on experience. First is price. Got bro bowl and a french toast. Both were around $16. For the bowl, it is well presented. and the broccoli, chicken, eggs and other main content were on the top surface, beneath was way too much fried potato cubes. Just note if you get this, yes it is a lot of food, but majority, vast majority it potato. Not ideal. French toast was good, large but not worth 15-16$. It was decorated with a heavy sweet cream cheese/icing? dollop. You eat that and your total fat intake it done, lol. The rest of the toast was delicious, but again nothing special and certainly not worth the price, bringing my rating down. The service was sub par mostly due to them being busy. They serve you once, maybe come check on you once then disappear. Not really their fault, and it seems they are overworked. But in terms of our individual service, not ideal. Ambiance was packed, busy, noisy. Not too many kids. Overall felt like the service and average food and high pricing killed it.

    French toast

    More of a 3.5 but I rounded up to 4. Cute little diner (that has a full bar??) that has a good variety of breakfast and lunch choices. Our server was nice but everything took a while to get to us as she was the only one on the floor. Everything we ordered was ok but kind of bland, it all needed salt. The veggie omelette had a good amount of veggies, the Dublin Benedict was very runny and lacked flavor, the French toast was basic but good. A little pricey for a diner but we enjoyed it and will probably return when we are in the area

    Pancakes
    Jamie G.

    We went for breakfast with 3 kiddos on a Sunday... sounds like the start of a horror movie. But Shine was able to accommodate up quickly. My husband had the eggs Benedict, which she absolutely loved, I am not a breakfast eater, and I had the chicken wrap. My kids all had some variety of their ridiculously large pancakes. Service was great and quick the restaurant for being in a strip mall head, country club vibes And it was clean and friendly.

    Do you have any vegan options other than oatmeal?

    How is the seating there? Can they accommodate large groups? Like 10-14 people?

    It is very small. That many might be a bit hard especially if during a busy time. I went with a group of 8 and that was tricky

I wasn't too annoyed but my parents hadn't eaten all day so they were a little annoyed (and there was an engagement party going on) We ordered quite a few things so here's my run down: - skip the rangoons - skip the Korean bowl entree (not pictured) - skip the shawarma burrito - skip anything that had rice honestly :/ - GET THE CHICKEN PARM!!! (With the Alfredo, it was so so good) - GET THE TROY CHEESESTEAK! So mad I didn't order it as my entree. - the pastas are good! Pretty solid choices. - Marsala came with very good mashed potatoes. - the truffle fries were delicious too!! - the ranch was delicious! /5 ** I deducted a point because of the wait & the rice being really bad. Other than that, I will come back.

I want to come back here and I'm bringing the crew. Parking is scares so keep that in mind. They can accommodate large groups. They have a huge menu with plenty of options. I'll be back and I just might bring the crew with me.

We reviewed the menu for our choices and then went to the cashier to order. We were welcomed by a helpful woman who took our order and then provided us a card with a number on it to take to our chosen table, where they deliver your order. We ordered the Whipped Feta Dip to start and I got the Falafel meal and hubby got the fish sandwich meal. The Feta dip came out first. They allowed us to order half soft and half crunchy pita chips to go with it. The dip is drizzled with honey which makes for a very good sweet and savory taste combination. We both really loved this and thought it could serve as a dessert as well. My Falafel meal came with a choice of salad and a side. I chose the Greek Salad and the Roasted Red Potatoes. This is all served on one plate with a pita chip. It was incredibly good - very fresh and flavorful. It came with a side of tzatziki as well. I couldn't stop remarking on how good everything tasted. Hubby also thought the fish was really fresh - it came with chips and a choice of side. He chose fresh fruit - pineapple, grapes, and melon. I am sorry I haven't stopped here sooner. The entire experience was excellent - we will return!
