A delicious and indulgent breakfast. Portions are huge. And after I was stuffed, I kept taking tiny bites, trying to find room in my belly to keep the taste experience alive.
I ordered something called, "I'M NOT EVEN SORRY!" from the backside of the menu: Scrambled eggs with country ham, onion, and cheddar. It's mixed with home fries and served with buttermilk biscuits. Everything slathered in sausage gravy. I was going to top it with hot sauce, but it was perfect as-is.
My only criticism is that it was just ordinary diced Yankee ham, not the salty country/Virginia style I was expecting. Otherwise, Sassy Skillet got all the details right. The breakfast potatoes are red skin bliss, perfectly seasoned, and crisped on the griddle. The biscuits were fluffy, tangy, and buttery. The real milk and flour gravy was smooth & creamy, with big chunks of crumbled sausage, and a sweet/salty/spicy flavor profile that will transport you to the south and make you forget that you're eating in the Baltimore suburbs.
My son ordered "Strawberries and cream French toast tacos." They are only "tacos" in presentation. Sure, it's gimmicky, but also fun. And the French toast, even if it weren't on a taco rack, would still be outstanding--adequately dipped into egg-custard batter (no dry bread center, not mushy and undercooked, like so many other places). It came topped with fresh cut berries, whipped cream, and powdered sugar. My son didn't even touch the syrup.
This place is a gem. It's a little hard to find, tucked into the far side of the building, with signage hidden behind a red Stop sign. It's across from the public parking lot. And it seems like it's having an identity crisis: cafe or juice bar? No table service, you order at the counter, serve your own coffee, and collect your own napkins and utensils. Then they bring you a plate of food that's better than anything you're going to find at a sit-down place. The gastronomic quality deserves better ambience and interior decorating. But you'll be so satisfied--over stuffed and bloated--that you'll start dreaming about your next visit even before your stomach has settled and the lingering tastes have...

   Read moreWe decided to check it out because of the great reviews. It was a a little hard to find but definitely well worth the search! The customer service was excellent and the 80âs music was quite the vibe. We ordered the âJust French Toastâ with berries and whipped cream. They should change its name because there isnât anything âjustâ about it. It was the best French toast Iâve ever had! We also ordered the âGive me Sâmore Pancakes.â With the size of them, thereâs no way you could eat âSâmoreâ of those! Weâll have them for breakfast tomorrow too! Not knowing the portion sizes of the food, we also ordered a âNutella and berries Toastâ to share. Even though we ended up taking plenty of leftovers home, we had our fill and everything was DELICIOUS! We will definitely be back to try more from the...
