| - We were in Scottsdale for the week, did a search for nearby breakfast places, and decided to try it based on the reviews.
Let me first preface this by saying our server was very friendly. No complaints there, she made sure that we were always attended to and the coffees were full. That being said, otherwise, I was not so impressed with this place. We settled in after checking the menu, my husband decided that he'd like to order the "Almost World Famous Apple Pancakes". He orders them, and then was told by our server that they take 30 minutes to make!?!? Now who would be the jerk to order these among a group of ravenously hungry breakfast lovers. Not me. I mean, whats up with that? 30 minutes? They sounded REALLY good though. Our server suggested that next time we come in, we call ahead of time. O...K..... ? No wonder they are "ALMOST" world famous...I'm sure they "almost" get ordered by many people.
Anyway, moving on....he decided to order the Apple French Toast (which curiously does NOT take 30 minutes to make) and I ordered the Bacon Belgian Waffle (bacon bits mixed into the batter topped off with some bacon crumbles). I know, not the healthiest, but it was unique sounding and who can resist bacon?
Food arrives and it was mediocre. Some of my bacon was burned which bummed me out...and husbands french toast had a TON of cinnamon on there. Too much. Heartburn city!!!
Then....I notice the cook come out from the kitchen making the rounds at each table. Asking diners, "hows is everything", "hows the omlette", "everything good?"...So now, he makes it over to our table and loudly blurts out "HOW YA DOIN LADY..(ok wait..imagine him saying this but catching himself before he said LADIES...like he ALMOST said how ya doin ladies?!?" LADIES???? I'm with my husband?!? Who does NOT look like a lady...I mean not int he least. I almost choked trying to hold back the laughter. The cook took one look at my husband and took off...he looked pretty embarrased. Poor guy!!! But , shoot...we laughed about it all day!!! "HOW YA DOING LADY?!" HAHA...I think I should bump up the rating just based on the comedy factor.
Anyway, overall...meh....food average. I would have loved to try the Apple Pancakes though!!!
