This is one of those places that does realy well despite of the small number of people that point out its flaws. It's one of the only brunch restaurants in the area and it's all pretty high quality food. And while it is pricey, people will wait in line to be seated. The flow if the place is very upbeat. There is some cool rock 'n' roll memorabilia on the wall as well as some random other unique pieces of art. As for food, I got the bagpipes (corned beef) eggs bennidict. Although I didn't care for the taste, you could tell it was high quality. The person that I was with got the brisket potatos. They were okay but it did not come with a lot of brisket. The service here is very spot on. The second when my cup of coffee was empty, their was a girl refilling it. They were quite friendly as well. Overall, this price is quite pricey but the food is high quality.

My friend and I went here for breakfast on two separate occasions during a recent business trip to the area. The servers were friendly, greeting us as soon as we entered. As it wasn’t too busy, they had us pick any open table. The menu has many of the standard breakfast fare of items. I chose fairly traditional items - scrambled eggs, sausage links, bacon, potatoes, toast, pancakes, and biscuits with gravy. All were brought out quickly, hot and fresh. Everything was good tasting, noting over the top, but well-executed. I will say that the side of biscuits with gravy was a bit different than I used to receiving. I was just one biscuit, with a brown-ish gravy….not the typical creamy sausage gravy. The flavor was OK, but not something I’d try again. Overall, a good experience. Fast and friendly service, at a good price.

Too pricey for the subpar food we received. The food wasn’t even Coney Island quality to be honest. Sausage was weird. Orange juice was oddly warm. The biscuits and gravy were a side item but eggs aren’t, so if you wanted eggs, you had to order a whole meal for to get them. Menu could use readjusting for sure. Take the maple spread off the French toast sandwich, it’s gross - or it was bad when I had it? Service was great, but I wont be back. Not only do they charge gratuity (which is fine for good service - again, which we had!) but they charged us $6 extra to use credit card on a $150+ bill. Not everyone carries that amount of cash so we used card to pay. No bueno. Unfortunately of the 8 of us, no one in our party would go back. Very clean, good service from all, but the food and extra charge for card was a miss for us!

Are you looking to get some of the best sandwiches, breakfasts or dinner in you life? Look no further than the Glass Onion Griddle. This family owned restaurant family restaurant is a hidden gem that I never knew about until a friend introduced me to them. Service, Fast Staff, super friendly Food, delicious! Prices, easily wallet friendly! I had the California Sandwich, and added bacon to it. I got fries, well, because it was National French Fry Day! I was brought to my attention that are known for their onion rings. 2 words. HAND BATTERED. I never had onion rings so delicious! Protip: bet there early for lunch so you can sit at the counter, to get a free show of what goes on behind the scenes!

The food was good... But,. The service was absolutely terrible . I understand it's busy but waiting 30 minutes for your food with no waitress checking on you or refilling your coffee. She never asked if the kids or wife wanted a drink refill ( they did). Then the bill... That took another 15-20 minutes after we were done ( another waitress filled my coffee) we finally gave up and went to ask the hostess for the bill Update 8/27/23 finally came back after that disaster we had last time. All in all much improved over last time. service was good until time to get the bill ( again) waited a good 15-20 . So, would I come back? Yeah. It was better than average, although the pancakes need work imo.
