Let's start with the obvious: the ambiance here is straight up greasy spoon takeout. But, walk in and the place is BUSY with lots of folks who are clearly regulars. There is a menu of all the breakfast & lunch options you'd expect, served in styrofoam containers with plastic cutlery. AND, the several people behind the counted are friendly, quick, and helpful if you have questions. I asked for a glass of water & got a styrofoam cup of it; I expected they'd point me to the cooler case to pay for a bottle, but nope. Nice!
I had a small (weak) coffee with half & half in little containers I added myself, and a spinach and cheese omelet, rye toast, and potatoes (though now I'm sorry I didn't order the grits, just to try them). The omelet was excellent - lots of both spinach and cheese, adequate salt; not greasy at all. Toast was nicely browned and appropriately buttered which for me means not too little/not too much. The potatoes were nicely cut, had good flavor, and to me could have used 30 seconds to a minute more cook time since only some were that perfect deep brown color.
Prices were good, and no one bugged me when I sat a bit after I finished eating, so I could finish the chapter of my book.
I'd come back! read more
