| - I've been to several of these franchises, and frankly this is the worst location. Sadly it is my nearest one.
Don't get me wrong, the food is still good, better than many or most breakfast spots in the area. Service is good too. On par with all other local restaurants, and the manager (owner?) Seems like a friendly guy. I wanna like it, I do!
Other locations (Oregon and Utah) are nearly life-changing breakfast experiences. The Woodmere location is not...
Pricing is a little higher than it should be, but remember this place is across the street from a Tiffanys jewelers. Bacon is thick awesome, but it's a buck a piece. Omelettes start at $10. The average Midwesterner will have two meals from that omelette, and it comes with three pancakes.
The portions are in line (which is to say ridiculous) with the other locations, but the food is just...not as good. Foodservice issue? Recipe design? I dunno. I just know that I pay a lot for breakfast when I go here, and I always feel bad because it's not like the other ones I've been to.
Today I had the requisite biscuits and gravy ($6...for B &G? It's $3 at Bob Evans), and it was sour. Not sour like something was bad, just like too much lemon juice or vinegar was splashed into the gravy. It's always a little more sour there, but today it was like too sour. A little off every time I visit. Every time. Every. Single. Time. Last time I went, the B & G was some of the best I've ever eaten it was clearly another cook or recipe.
Every other OPH I've been to is solid, consistent, and a pure delight. This one is ok.
