The food was amazing! Got the Cafe Mess- highly recommended!
The potatoes could have been cooked a little longer as some were not cooked completely, and the wait time for the food to come out was a little frustrating.. it took about 40 minutes to even get our food and we overheard a table behind us complaining once they got their food that it had taken them almost an hour to get theirs and they had to send pancakes back because they were so cold butter wouldn't even melt on them.

They were a little busy no big deal, then another couple come in and they sit at a booth and got service right away at this point it's been about 8 or 9 minutes since we sat down. Was about ready to leave after another 5 minutes, when a waitress finally came over and apologized for not getting to us. It was still spotty service even after the apology.
