There are not enough stars to rate this place! The food and the staff make it worth the long wait. I have been back already since my first visit. I don’t think there’s one item in the menu that can let you down. I’m a repeated guest because of the perfect buttermilk pancakes they make. Note: they only serve them M-F I have also tried their memorable potato pancake, crispy, savory goodness!! And today I had blueberry pancakes and the most delicious thin and crispy bacon with eggs. The coffee is pretty good, and that is hard to find.

And I have to write about the staff. Both times I got the great luck to have Mrs Maria as my server. She’s super professional and if you smile, she’s warm and very kind. She makes sure you have everything you need and gives you all the time to enjoy it! 🌻 Everyone working the floor is highly attentive and you never need to look for them to ask for more coffee or water because they make sure to anticipate your needs 🙏🏾

And today I got to thank Mr Cruz Garcia and Mr Roberto, they were cooking nonstop with so much grace. Pancake making is an art! You really need to have the perfect batter and temperature to have a fluffy, cooked-not dry pancake that steams when you cut it through.

Prices are reasonable for the Bay Area. And you won’t mind...

Unimpressed. They didn’t even bother to come out to the sidewalk were everyone was waiting to call our party, and then acted all indignant “we texted you 10 minutes ago, we almost gave your table away” Sorry, must’ve been in a service dead spot. The interior was clean, but looked in serious need of some love. Neither the trains nor the grandfather clock run anymore. Visible clutter all over the second floor balcony gave a rundown feel, and only one restroom for both genders guaranteed a long wait. I specifically asked my server if the Eggs Juneau was good. He said “everything here is good” so I ordered it. He didn’t remember who had ordered what when he brought the food back. The Eggs Juneau was NOT GOOD. One of the two English muffins was really burnt, and the smoked salmon wasn’t thin slices like you would expect, just random chunks/cubes, and not much of it. Worst of all it didn’t taste fresh, which is likely the cause of my upset stomach as I type this an hour later. It was a family brunch to celebrate my recent birthday, so I didn’t want to spoil it by complaining while there, but you, dear reader should know that this place has apparently...
