Really, more like a 2 1/2 star rating. Hard to find. At the end of the rear portion of a strip mall. Clean but not fancy or even pleasantly decorated inside. Bordered on dingy. We came Sunday morning about 8:30. They open at 7:30. As you arrive, you are supposed to put your name on a list outside. There is no sign explaining this to you. You find out after you come in and stand around for a while and then decide to seat yourself. Apparently that is verboten because only then does someone greet you and tell you the protocol. So you wait for your table even though there seem to be plenty of open ones. We got called in about 10 min. Not too bad. Then we wait for a waitress. After a while someone asks if you want coffee. That person tho, is NOT your waiter. The menu is basic, but ok. Omelettes, eggs, etc. They specialize in pancakes, esp. Dutch babies which look good. We ordered and then waited some more. The bottleneck appears to be the kitchen. The wait staff is earnest and friendly. When we finally got our food after about 30 min plus, it was nothing to write home about. Just ok. Our take, don't bother. There are LOTS better breakfast places in Fountain Hills Scottsdale.
