Hungry and seeking a local joint, I came across Meghan’s, what looks like a converted and now infamous breakfast spot. With the fading sign Street side and the smaller lot full of cars, I had a good feeling. There were about 30 chairs at tables and a few barstools. I immediately asked if they had Wi-Fi because I needed to tap on to do a little work on the laptop. I was advised apologetically there’s no Wi-Fi and that they are old-school. If I were them, I would tell the customer to just sit down and enjoy your breakfast and disconnect for a spell. However, I had a time sensitive so took the only open table at a two top in the back corner right next to the window overlooking masonry patio. Just then the waitress, smiling, bubbly and welcoming as you’re going to find, pegged me for a coffee drinker. She was right and I ordered my first coffee along with a basic eggs, home fries, meat, and toast breakfast. The meat and the toast are the two most important aspects of this meal for me, so I always ask which of their meats they recommend the most, and that my go to is pork roll cooked well done. Under advisement that their pork roll was the best around, I went with it along with rye toast. Food came out so quickly. I had barely set my laptop up, so I dug right in. I think it may be the first time that I didn’t take photos of the food. A combination of being famished and a near perfect thick cut pork roll, I got right to business. And before I realized I hadn’t taken my pre-meal photo, all that was left was a piece of toast. The interior decor was neutral with beige ceramic tile floors, and a beige painted upper wall with white wainscoting on the lower portion. The surrounding was alive with everyone chattering. It’s comforting and feels good to be in a place where so many patrons come in and hug the waitresses a friendly hello like old friends visiting after a long time apart. Not wanting to disappoint the audience, I ordered a single blueberry pancake, so I could get at least one photo. The thing was blue and wasn’t the best pancake I’ve had, but the consistency was interesting. I slathered it up with real butter and store-bought maple syrup. Eggs were cooked well. Pork roll blew my hair back. Really delicious melt in your mouth. Home fries were decent but would’ve liked to see some peppers and onions in there. Toast was delicious and already buttered up. I placed my credit card on top of the handwritten check and the waitress advised once again that they are old-school and only accept cash, further explaining that they had an ATM machine if necessary. No problem. Overall, I recommend Meghan’s for a nice quick breakfast and happy uplifting of the soul. And take it as an opportunity to leave your technology, gadgets, and highfalutin expectations in the car. This place...
Read moreFirst and foremost - this place is cash only. You should know that. I did not know that and, well, they have an atm- but just my luck - I was unable to make it work while I was there. So I'm going back to pay later and they were really nice about it (didn't make me wash any dishes for my keep lol!).
Anyway, all embarrassment aside, this place is a great little breakfast nook. It is really small on the inside and table space is limited. So I imagine that the weekends are packed full of people wanting a down home, mom and pop type cooked meal. However, on the weekday it is pretty empty!
Some of the items of the menu are standard breakfast/lunch fare. I had a breakfast burrito (hello, they have avocado!) And some really nice crispy diced potatoes. The potatoes were the type of potatoes people who know how to cook well make - not soft, mushy, or wet.
I would go back here for the food but in all honesty I am pretty reluctant to embarrass myself in a cash fiasco again. I just can't trust myself...
Read moreWent to Meghans for the first time today and had lunch with a good friend. It's a quaint and cozy place. Very clean and the employees are very friendly and helpful! Our waitress was very good at making sure we were taken care of multiple times through the meal. We both got the Reuben sandwich. I got coffee and she got ice water. Coffee is free refills, and the sandwiches were good 👍. We had an incident where my friend had thought she lost her wallet and all of the employees including the manager where helping us look for it! They were very kind and understanding. Luckily the wallet was just lost in her hidden pocket 😆 but I'd highly recommend this place, and I'll def come back when I'm in the...
