I had a hankering for Saturday morning breakfast tacos and found this on Yelp as the best. Google reviews confirmed, so we gave it a try and were not disappointed.
Owner Melissa, friendly and knowledgeable, explained the process - we ended up getting omelets, by the way - and her brother Rodney did the cooking. The place is a construct-as-you-go a la Chipotle and you watch it all happen. The two were efficient and quick, and their prep spaces were clean and brightly lit. Mellissa indicates that they've been there three years, but the restaurant does not suffer from a haggard, jaded look. They keep the place up.
Bonus: fountain drinks are correctly mixed and have plenty of carbonation - not always a given in fast food restaurants.
The omelets were top tier. The sourdough toast had just the right crunch. Bacon was fresh and had a nice chewiness. I had a hotlink with mine, but will try the pork sausage next time. Condiments were available and nicely sorted, so I grabbed a couple of hot pepper sauces.
Standout: The hash brown patties, which start out life as the usual vendor-provided fare, become sublime with whatever seasoning they put on them. Get the hash browns!
Mid-meal, Melissa brought out some sausage gravy for us to try. Warning: Do not try this super-addictive gravy on the already-sublime hash browns if you value your waistline. This gravy is the gravy that all other gravies wanted to be in gravy high school. I'm telling you, man, if you have an addictive personality, just say no, because that's all you'll want from now on. That and beer.
So there. Go here and support your local business. The restaurant business is about as hard as businesses get so it's gratifying to see some cheerful, young people pulling it off with...
Read moreMy wife and I have lived in the area for over 20 years. How we never stumbled upon this place is beyond us but I guess we've been driving past it for a long time without even noticing it.
The other day we decided to drop in for breakfast, not knowing anything about the place. The first time there can be a bit overwhelming. Lots of choices, lots of options, lots of upgrades. The menus over your head are a little hard to read and understand but the very friendly staff is more than willing to help you through the process. I had an omelet, grits, and a side of sausage, my wife had eggs, bacon, a waffle, and some tots.
All of the food was prepared right in front of us and it's not all the fu-fu stuff you get at IHOP with a gallon of whipped cream and strawberry sauce. Everything was fresh, seasoned well, and tasted AMAZING. The waffle had some sweetness and cinnamon in it but wasn't overpowering. The tater tots tasted INCREDIBLE. My omelet was cooked to perfection and served hot. All of the food was just A+ all the way. I liked the place so much, I came back for lunch a few days later with a friend and he loved the place too! For lunch I had the BLTO and with grilled onions on a classic BLT, it was UNREAL!
This is my new favorite place to go eat with my wife and we can't wait to come back and try some other offerings on their menu. The best part of the whole experience though was the team that worked there. Everyone was friendly and really make the whole experience that much better.
Oh yeah, be sure to try the sausage gravy on toast! OMG, it is TO...
Read moreNo! Just NO! Don’t trust food influencers or Yelp reviewers.
Bring your own water bottle. The concept is good but lack taste and originality. If you want someone else to cook you basic breakfast and want to drive 20mins for it, then come here. If you’re expecting a two year old cooking, this is your spot.
I just can’t trust or support this locally owned business. If you’re going to do a business, don’t be shady about it with your drinks and food portions.
They literally cook your food in front of you with nothing else but the items you order. For example, your eggs is just eggs without seasoning or milk for fluffiness. They serve it with whatever topping you’d like like diced up 2 tablespoons mushrooms.
Waffles: Forget getting waffles!!! What the heck! Who eats soggy waffles. This was disgusting.
Drinks: Drinks are shady. They have no water in the drinking fountain. You have to purchase $1 for plastic water. The sodas were all carbonated and no taste. We tried Mountain Dew and even Sunkist. Tasted like carbonated water. You can tell also because everyone who bought fountain drinks, would over spill their drink. The carbonation and drink ratio is...
