I was here about 8 years ago with two buddies. We had a great night, that we still talk about today. Two of us went back, and have things changed, but in a good way. They totally redid the outside. It's cleaned up, resided, new landscaping, and the sidewalk/ parking lot are immaculate. Once you step inside though, that's when you notice the world of change. They put effort into keeping a version of the old, with a completely new interior. The seating is cleaner, with sleek lines, and brighter, and it all adds up to a much better vibe. If you haven't been there in a while, you have to go back. If you've nene been there, it's well worth it to go. I recommend this place.
Cons: I was slightly disappointed by my build-your-own shipwreck. They added the wrong cheese and wrong type of potatoes (shredded vs cubed) and I felt the portion size was too small for the $12-$14 price tag. Only other thing I wish they’d review or reconsider is their children’s menu. $6 for one pancake vs $8 for an entire meal. $3 feels like a more reasonable price tag for 1 kids pancake since usually the portion sizes are smaller for kids.
Pros: Aside from that everything was great! Including the atmosphere and staff. My coffee was smooth and delicious and I was so happy to have a large cup of it. My sons pancake meal (not a kids meal) had blue berries and chocolate chips. The blue berries tasted fresh and didn’t feel frozen. The pancakes had an almost cake taste to them, maybe vanilla, sweet and delicious even without syrup. We’ll definitely be back and would absolutely recommend this place for breakfast.
Service was excellent. I had the Reuben with fries, and I was very happy with my meal. My buddy made a special request and our server got him exactly what he asked for and was very cheerful and helpful. I used to be in food service- that's not always the case. I can't wait to go back for breakfast.
The drinks are unbeatable, and I've enjoyed every server. I mentioned that the philly was cut a little too thick my last visit and the chef went above and beyond to make sure my steak philly was exactly how I wanted! Definitely worth a visit.
