| - Okay, so I read all of the reviews and thought, wow this must be the end all be all. So off we went for breakfast. So we go in and are seated right away. Before getting to the table though, we are lead into the intersection where the busboy and two waitresses try to run us down. Not intentionally I am sure, but there was nothing polite about the pushing and shoving to get us out of their way. So not feeling the love.
The place is a bit outdated, but that is okay. we asked to sit by the window, so we ended up in the back with no window. Apparently we were not allowed to sit in any of the several available window tables. Must be my good looks. So at this point, 1 star is looking like a stretch.
Next, we get a waitress that is apparently busy and has the interpersonal skills of a lump of coal. All though I am sure she had been run ragged. Did not look like they had enough staff, so can give her a pass. So really at this point, I want to just make a comment and get out. The better half calms me down. So we place our order and play catsup trivial pursuit, thank you Heinz. So reading the other reviews, we are expecting the food to come flying out. 20 minutes later and a very empty and lonely cup of coffee later, the food arrives. I am thinking there is no way this is going to be worth all of this hassle.
I my fellow yelpers was incorrect. The Corned beef hash is in my top 10 list. For those that think that is not impressive, I just moved here from RI and New England (that is all of those tiny little states up there) take their hash seriously. So this is to say, it is really good. The pancakes were wicked good (see proves I lived in NE). And the biscuits and gravy were really good as well. Only gripe on the food is that the biscuits are frozen. I have not been to a place in Ohio that actually makes their biscuits. If there is a place, I would love for someone to tell me.
Anyway, this place was able to salvage it's self somewhat. So if you can put up with the service, the food is worth the wait. Next time we will try the non breakfast stuff.
