If you was good satisfying food at fair prices and aren't worried about touching any surfaces in the bathrooms, then you should give it a go!
I come here more often than ever for breakfast. You can almost always get a table without waiting, and Its a good price for the standard eggs/meat/potato/toast breakfast and the quality is right up there with anything in the area that isn't a ridiculous price. I really like how they make the potatoes especially. Sort of a pan fried potato meets hash type vibe.
On the dinner tip, come early or expect to wait for a table, but the food is all pretty kick ass and worth a bit of a wait. I'm a huge fan of their chicken enchiladas, and the tacos are pretty good too, so check out the "Combination Plates" section of their menu where you can have a couple things along with a bed of refried beans and rice and "salad" (read: diced lettuce and tomato taking up 1/4 of the plate). Also worth mentioning is that their chicken wings and nachos are both great starters, although I learned this last weekend that the $22 mixed appetizer platter is worth passing on.
Drinks are all pretty decently priced. They have low end garbage like Kool beer on tap for $4.50 a pint, decent mid range independent stuff like Hannenberg Pilsner or Amsterdam Blonde on tap for $5.50 a pint which is pretty good in my eyes, and then Alexander Keiths for $6.50 (meh).
All in all, this place delivers what it promises, and doesn't try to pretend its something it isn't, so thats gotta be worth something. In this case, it's worth 4 stars.
