Breakfast at Evergreen Inn

This morning, in the spirit of liberty and breakfast carbs, I ventured out to the Evergreen Inn to celebrate the Fourth with a fork. Their specials board boasted a short stack paired with a choice of meat—how could I resist? I threw in a couple of scrambled eggs to round things out and waited for the fireworks (on my plate, that is).

The pancakes arrived looking like golden perfection—fluffy, inviting, ready to be drenched. Unfortunately, the syrup rations were a bit...conservative. I wouldn’t say stingy, but let’s just say I had to request two more cups to give those cakes the celebration they deserved.

The eggs? Fine. Serviceable. I suspect they started life in a carton, already liquefied and waiting for their destiny. The sausages were decent, the chocolate milk was nostalgic in all the right ways, and the cutlery had clearly survived a few wars of its own. And the ketchup—oh, the ketchup. A bottle proudly labeled “Fancy” does not make it so. If someone brought that stuff to a backyard BBQ, I’d stage a condiment coup and return with a bottle of Heinz.

Now, let’s talk ambiance. The place is kind of clean—clean-adjacent, clean-curious, but not quite committed to the title. Still, nothing alarming, just...comfortably lived-in. What it lacked in polish, the staff made up for in personality. The lone waitress holding down the fort was kind, attentive, and clearly doing the job of three people. Any service slip-ups? Forgiven on the spot.

The bill came in a little higher than anticipated, especially for a daily special. But with few breakfast contenders in the area, Evergreen Inn knows it has the home-field advantage—and it’s charging rent.

Still, the pancakes alone were worth the visit. Just bring your own syrup—and maybe your own...

Just got done having Sunday breakfast here! Definitely will be back, the best chicken and waffles I’ve ever had! The service wasn’t horrible but definitely can be improved. With the improvement of customer service this would be the best place I’ve ever been too. They all did the job they were there to do nothing less or nothing more. Adding in the more to the customer service would definitely create more people to come in!!! All in all the chicken and waffles were...

Went to the Pop-up Prime Rib dinner with three friends and were impressed with the food quality. Tasty, well seasoned prime rib done medium rare with homemade mashed potatoes, fresh broccoli and horseradish sauce. Portions were large. Had the salad appetizer which was also a nice sized portion. We had the strawberry napoleons and chocolate silk pie for dessert. Loved the strawberry lemonade that had real strawberries in it. Would...
