Read moreBest hash browns and biscuits I've ever had! Chicken Fried Steak exceeded my expectations, and real sausage gravy. My meal was incredibly good value for money, absolutely delicious and no long brunch wait to be seated! This is definitely an excellent alternative to Village Square Cafe and ever other American breakfast shop in the area. The quality of the food and excellence of the atmosphere and service blew me away. If you want a great breakfast go here!
The service was friendly, attentive, and quick! The bartender who ran my food out to my table checked with me every time he walked by to make sure I was taken care of. The waitress was also hilarious, she has such a fun personality singing along on occasion with the American music from the 60s through 90s. I kid you not at one point Tuti Fruiti was going and she sung along with Little Richard. A moment later she was asking if I wanted a frosted mug for my beverage. When I accidentally nudged half of my biscuit onto the table they thoughtfully replaced it! So kind!
I went for breakfast sometime around 10 to 2 ish and it was very quiet. Few regulars and the music was not too loud. Unfortunately, kids cannot eat inside, due to it being a bar, but they can be served on the patio it looks like. Great patio with umbrellas. I discovered this gem last week, having lived here for years, and mistaking it for a dive-light bar, because I had only ever walked by in...

i have to be honest - I wasn't expecting much here - but this was actually really pleasantly surprising
The french roll buns were quite good - they were charred really well on the inside but pretty soft on the inside
The lettuce and pickles were alright - and I took the tomatoes out (obviously)
What really carried this burger were the fried cod combined with the tartar sauce The burger had generous helpings of the sauce - and it was really good too. Combining this with the fish, that was fried really well, and also in a couple pretty decent-sized pieces throughout the burger, made me really enjoy the taste of each bite. The crispy fish + sauce combination made this a pretty above-average sandwich
The garlic fries did have a lot of garlic on them - but these I liked less. While they were crispy - there was basically no softness inside, and the garlic really didn't add the taste I was looking for. In addition, there were no real dipping sauces (other than table ketchup) provided with this. The good thing was that these were served as a hefty portion
Overall, for the relatively cheap price - and the fact that it's late night bar food - this was actually pretty filing and quite...
