| - Saturday - Noon.
Wisely went here before grocery shopping. To be fair, my review is only based on a very simple, standard two-egg/meat/potatoes breakfast. If you can screw that up (and many places can, oh yes) then I probably won't be back. I wasn't very hungry, so just got that so I'd - I mean my wallet - would be a bit safer as I walked through the valley of the Shadow of Whole Foods.
Service was very good, prompt and balanced - by that I mean the waitress gave me privacy but didn't ignore me. I hate when wait staff is overly bothersome just as much as when they are negligent. I should say that the place was relatively deserted, so it's hard to judge what service might be like during a busier time. I will find out though, because after taking a look at the menu choices, I have every intention to go back, especially for the fish fry.
My eggs were cooked to order. You might think, "Eggs, so what? but if you've ever had a snotty over-easy egg or received an over-medium that was frisbee hard, you know. One thing I did think to share - my bacon had obviously been baked and retrieved from a pan somewhere. It was stiff as a board. I like crispy, almost over-done bacon - well okay, I like bacon of most any kind, so this was fine with me but some people wouldn't like it.The order came with potatoes, which I hadn't seen on the menu. I rarely eat them now but had a few bites for the sake of Yelp readers (see the sacrifices I make?). The potatoes were nothing to write home about, but they weren't bad. They seemed to have varied flavors... seasonings I presumed picked up from other foods cooked on the same flat top.
I want to add too that the Yelp reviewer who said something about getting hand-foot-mouth disease was just rude to post that to a public review site such as this. HFM is a virus that spreads easily through coughing and sneezing. It can also spread by contact with infected eh... well, I'll say diaper contents to keep it polite. Now I suppose that doesn't rule out getting it at this or any other restaurant, but given that the child mentioned is 14 months old, it seems more likely that it could have been something gotten through another route. At any rate to indicate that there's very little possibility of it being contracted anywhere else than this restaurant is not only rude but potential defamation. If it's a true concern, that's a matter for the health department to investigate.
Carry on, Yelpers.
