| - We had breakfast here today. In my opinion, this is some of the best food and service we have experienced in a long time. It was a busy Sunday and even large parties were getting sat quickly with a minimal wait. We were greeted promptly by our server within a minute of being seated and his casual yet professional greeting made it obvious he was well trained. Beverage orders were taken and delivered promptly. Our food order came up quickly, within 10 minutes of our order. My wife ordered country fried steak and eggs. It was a huge portion, enough for 2. It was served on a bed of biscuits which were fresh made and didn't taste like the preservative filled rubber biscuts you get at other chains. The eggs were done perfectly, and the gravy also tasted fresh made. My wife ordered country potatoes with her meal and said these were also good. I had the Haymaker Benedict - eggs omelet style served over a fried chicken patty, spinach, bacon and mashed potatoes, topped with chipolte sauce. The portion size of this dish also enough for 2. While the chipolte sauce was spicy, it was very good and fresh, not canned. The eggs on my dish were also perfectly done and the bacon was amazing with more smoky fresh flavor than most gourmet bacon. The mashed potatoes were the perfect consistency and tasted fresh made. Throughout breakfast our server and the manager checked on us, but not to the point of being bothersome. The manager was very friendly and took a real interest in what we thought of everything. My only negatives would be the coffee, which was average for a $ 2.35 cup and I didn't get a refill on it until end of breakfast. Also, both dishes were a little pricey, but for portion size and quality I can't really complain. Good food does cost money to make.
In summary, if you're looking for breakfast that's fresh made, homstyle comfort food with good efficient service, try the Haymaker. We can't wait to go back and try the lunch/dinner menu. They have specials listed (Burger night, kids eat free, happy hour) that all look like good values.
