The pancakes and french toast are hot and fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness that would make any breakfast fans morning. The only issue I've seen so far, was someone ordered eggs fried hard and it wasn't quite to their liking; other than that The Breakfast Shoppe's food is a winner in my book! A highlight from my most recent visit was the Philly Benny which was a Eggs Benedict topped with sirloin steak,onions, and swizz cheese. It was my first time trying a Benedict, which our waitress recommended. Lets just say, once again I was not disappointed! My meal came out piping hot and the hollandaise sauce was smooth creamy and very flavorful. The steak was a little under seasoned for my liking, but the hollandaise made up for the lack of seasoning and I enjoyed every bite! If your a Benedict fan id recommend trying one...

My husband and I recently went here for breakfast. We went on a weekday and, while it was crowded, we were seated right away.

Our server was friendly and polite. She came to our table to take our drink order just moments after we sat down.

While the menu had various different options on it, it was not overly unique. Most of the items are the same breakfast options you would get at many other restaurants.

My husband ordered the chicken and waffles. The chicken was not on the bone. It was chicken tenders. He knew this based on the description on the menu, but it is still disappointing. Not many restaurants offer chicken and waffles with chicken on the bone.

My husband said the chicken tenders were seasoned fine. He also said that the coding was nice and crisp. He did not have much to say about the waffle quarters because they were pretty averaged to what you would get at most restaurants.

I ordered the strawberries and cream French toast. The cream was simply whipped cream, and the strawberries were sliced, fresh strawberries. I have a choice between those or a strawberry compote. In retrospect, I should have gotten the compote.

My breakfast was fine, but slightly underwhelming. I was hoping they would have a stuffed French toast option.

There was nothing wrong with our experience, however, for a restaurant that was featured on the Food Network, I was not able to figure out what makes them over above.

Again, it was not a bad experience at all. However, it was basic...

This place is always packed with people waiting outside so it's almost impossible to get a seat in under an hour. We timed it just right this time and were almost immediately sat at a table.

The place is small with tables and booths jumbled together. Noise level is loud so you're incapable of having a private conversation.

It has the typical breakfast fare, but it really isn't worth the wait. Their prized offering is the fresh squeezed OJ. Yes, it's fresh, but you only can get a small glass of it and for a premium price. You can easily make this OJ at home: Go to Safeway, buy a bag of heirloom navel oranges for $4, squeeze the juice out and enjoy. It's exactly the same.

I had the eggs benedict and they were just OK. The muffins were barely toasted, the poached eggs were overcooked and the whole dish was cold. The breakfast potatoes were also cold and had quite a bit of spice to it that made the potatoes almost inedible towards the end. My wife's omelette was cold as well and made with a cheese that she didn't request. Her potatoes were even saltier and spicier than mine so she couldn't have more than a few bites.

It's a Severna Park staple with a loyal following so I'm sure their business won't be hurt by 2 less seldom patrons. We'd rather go elsewhere where they make food correctly and it's...
