Whenever I head up north for breakfast/brunch with the parents, it's usually at Steve's.
This is your standard breakfast joint; the eggs are perfectly prepared (I've been to too many places that cannot poach an egg), the home fries are well-seasoned and full cooked. Dad loves the Spanish Omelette. I've had the chicken greek salad as well, which can easily be shared.
While easily dubbed a 'greasy spoon', the food is NOT drenched in pounds of grease/butter/oil/lard like other breakfast joints.
They lost a star because of noise. There is no sound absorption at all because of all the hard surfaces, so it gets quite noisy even if there aren't that many other diners.
The best part is probably the staff & service. They are a very well run group, always friendly, always topping things up and checking in.
