The menu tells you exactly what you're getting and that's exactly what comes out and they execute it very well. Good portions, great prices, greater food. They didnt try and reinvent breakfast and I found that to be refreshing. We went around 12PM and there was a lunch rush but it moved fast. They also have one side of the building designated for take out. I really enjoyed my time here and loved that the waitress offered me a coffee to go as I paid the check.

We were sat at our respective tables promptly and our server, Takia, was amazing. She was very friendly and attentive. The food was impeccable. I had French toast and eggs with turkey sausage and my son had waffles and eggs. Both entrees were fresh and the texture of the waffles and French toast were perfect. You could tell the eggs were made with love. As a true southerner, I can say, the food tasted like home! I will definitely eat here anytime I'm in the area!

Dinning Experience: 2/5 Coffee: 4/5…read moreFood: 3/5 Prior to eating at this location, we had died across the street and thought it'd be nice to give it a try based on the outward experience and the folks sitting out in front at the sidewalk tables. It looked to have a good vibe, but once we walked in, we realized it was a coffee shop that served food. You have to get in line grab a menu and place your order. Any coffee, water or juice juices are delivered on the right side of the bar and the food is delivered on the left side of the bar. And what I mean delivered that's where you have to go to pick it up. The food is served on Small paper plates so you will lose some of your food as you try to cut or move it.. I ordered the breakfast platter which was scrambled eggs, choice of meat, potatoes, and toaste. My partner had the cheese omelette with sourdough toast. There was nothing special or extraordinary about the food. With the small paper plates that they use food easily fell onto the table top. They don't offer water in a cup, but rather you can buy a bottle of water. If you didn't realize that after you ordered, you have to go back and get in line so that you purchase your water. (We assumed they had water/cups to use). We left felling unsatisfied.

I would recommend getting the mustard drizzle on the side, just to be sure it is to your taste. We also had the Crab/Corn Chowder soup. You must try it! Super delicious and flavorful. The onion rings were also very good/hand breaded. Service was excellent and the manager stopped at our table to check on us. The atmosphere is comfortable and ambiance is nice/quiet and clean. Strongly recommended for a good meal in a very nice setting.

Virginia has no shortage of pancake houses but this is definitely one of the best! We even ran into…read moresomeone we met at the parks. Simple decor, very friendly (Greek owned) staff and delicious food with so many options. Our server, Essence was hilarious and made the meal even better. She brought a carafe of coffee to the table and they even had flavored creamers in addition to the regular. I love that they have a variety of jellies on the table and even honey if you ask for it. I had the banana nut (they use pecans) pancakes which were so fluffy and perfect. Hubby was in Heaven with his order. He got the 2+2+2 waffle with scrambled eggs (so light and fluffy) sausage links, and apple topping which was homemade (the apples had some crunch to them instead of being mushy and from a can). He was full but couldn't resist getting a southern biscuit with honey.

Our server, Tess, was fantastic. My husband was craving a bagel breakfast sandwich (because he is enduring my keto diet) and they were one of the few places offering this. He got cream cheese on the side for the sandwich (if you haven't tried this, I highly recommend it). I ordered the meat omelette with Swiss cheese added and was offered fresh tomato slices in place of the carb options. We were both very full and happy with our meal. 2nd visit before leaving the area. We came earlier, closer to 8 & were seated immediately. I chose the meat omelette again (perfect choice for my keto diet). My husband tried the 2 French Toast, 2 eggs (added cheese) & 2 sausage. We were both very pleased. I felt so guilty not being able to finish it because it was really yummy. Our waitress today was also top notch. She didn't even write down our order, but it came out perfectly executed.

She made recommendations and was so attentive and funny. Hubby was between 3 different meals but went with the Hanger steak special. It came with a potato knish, perfectly cooked asparagus, in a burblanque sauce. He said it was one of the best meals he ever had and it was cooked medium rare as he requested. He also had a perfect manhattan. I wasn't super hungry, so I went for the salmon poor boy. It was crunchy and delicious and the sauce was perfect. I had a Saint Germain spritzer which was light and refreshing. We couldn't leave without ordering beignets. They came with a chocolate and a vanilla sauces. Hubby got a coffee that came in a fun cup. The decor in the restaurant was so fun and made people feel welcome.

Starting with the service, the staff were attentive and welcoming. Unfortunately, the food was underwhelming. While portion sizes were reasonable, several dishes lacked the creativity and seasoning needed to stand out. The mussels and French onion soup were highlights, but the escargot and rotisserie chicken were only average. For dessert, the Gateau Breton is fantastic and a standout! However, I would skip the beignets if you are expecting the traditional version. These are smaller with the consistency of a donut hole, and lack the light, pillowy texture typically associated with classic beignets.

Our food was very good, the poutine was honestly one of the best things I had to eat in a long time. Mixed with the fried egg every bite was genuinely a "perfect bite".

The hostess/server was very attentive and pleasant. One thing to note is that it appears that the cafe does not always have pastries.

And the fresh air felt great. Onto the food. The salted butter bread though tasty was tough to cut and served at room temp. The almond butter and apricot jam were fantastic but the bread was tough to bite. We both got the poutine which he enjoyed, I thought it was bland and lacked much in the way of flavor. Disappointing plus not much in the way of tater tots. They didnt have the doggie menu I saw online which is why I came here but they did make up a beef patty with rice. My dogs ate the beef and played with the rice. And tap water was served which wouldn't have been so bad bit again it was served at room temp which made it taste odd. All in all probably not a spot I will return
