My friends and I went here for breakfast today. Everything about this place was good except for the service, and for that reason I give it one star. Our waiter was good, and though it took awhile for our food to come out, I understood they were understaffed. Unfortunately, when we went to pay, we were treated to a reprimand by the woman running the cash register. We were trying to split a check four ways, which is difficult, and my friend simply asked if we could split it four ways and if not she understood. The woman rolled her eyes and said fine we will itemize it. My friend tried to explain that we had already calculated what everyone owed, but this woman was having none of it. She snapped at my friend that they couldn't be expected to do that during a rush and that we should have asked for separate checks in the first place. My friend was obviously embarrassed by this, and just said fine put it on my card and stormed out. When she came back in, the woman said I'm sorry you are upset in a very condescending manner. We just left. I have to believe that this woman wouldn't have treated someone older than us that way, as we appear to be teenagers even though we are all in our twenties. Either way, every customer should be treated with respect, and there was a nicer way to handle that situation than to snap at us and talk down to us. We will not...
Read moreIn a quest to tap into my childhood, pile driving bowls of Cap'n Crunch, I sought a breakfast spot that boasts a crusted French toast that will send me soaring back to the 90s. Well, move over Mario, it's time for Luigi's to take center stage.
Luigi's is a no-frills North Shore diner that excels in greasy spoon comfort breakfast and lunch options with big portions. As mentioned, my personal favorite breakfast option is the perfectly griddled Cap'n Crunch French toast - a delightful crunch on the crust which remains moist and approachable, otherwise. Paired with butter, powdered sugar, and syrup, it may spike your blood sugar, but it's well worth it. For "healthier" fare, the feedback on the veggie omelet was fluffy, fresh, and tasty. The potato sides (both hash browns and home fries) were well-seasoned and plentiful. Coffee is what you'd expect.
Amidst the slightly chaotic table setups, find solace at the expansive granite bar top, boasting a dozen or so stools for a cozy dining experience. The service is friendly and reliable, ensuring your cup is never empty. And when warmth graces the months, don't miss the ice cream stand's lineup of Richardson's local favorites.
Luigi's captures the essence of a classic diner with finesse, delivering on a diverse menu that's bound to satisfy your cravings. Brace yourself, however, and...
