| - Pretty solid American breakfast foods.
I was impressed by the attitudes of the workers, who all seemed pretty happy to be there and were enthusiastic when talking about the food. The clientele at the time was largely the grey-haired set which meant that our meal went smoothly, devoid of any obnoxious drunken silliness from other patrons. The environment reminded me a bit of Florida.
We ordered a few things;
* Cup of navy bean soup: Thick and hearty with ample chunks of navy beans and ham throughout. Not the most amazing or flavorful soup, but a satisfying bean soup.
* Pumpkin Nut Bread: Woo-hoo, this stuff is GOOD! Warm pumpkin flavor with a molasses undertone and crunchy nuts with spices, this is more like banana bread than wonderbread. It's especially good warm with butter.
* Biscuit with gravy: Thick, creamy sausage gravy smothering a biscuit that's been cut in half. A bit salty but overall good.
* Lobster, Avocado & Cheese Omelet: This thing was a beast. HUGE omelet! The eggs are light and fluffy, supposedly cracked fresh on site. The lobster was tender, well complimented by the avocado with a decent amount in a $10 omelet. I didn't particularly like the stringy cheese with it as it seemed an incongruous flavor pairing, but the omelet was overall very satisfying with enough for 3-4 servings. It wasn't bad reheated the next day! It was served with crispy little potato rounds seasoned with herbs, salt & pepper. They're a nice change of pace from the standard hash browns but not necessarily what I'd consider a breakfast food. They, too, were good reheated the next day after being crisped in the oven.
* Chicken Fingers: Interesting coating, different from the standard with a nice crisp bite. The meat itself was a little dry and the pieces were small. They come with ranch or cheese sauce and I believe more of the potato rounds.
* Side of Bacon: SUPER crispy. I like bacon with some gristle left over for me to gnaw on so I didn't have any. J did and wasn't particularly into it.
* Side of sausage: Instead of links these were patties, which we hadn't anticipated so we sent them back.
Their coffee wasn't astounding, but it was strong which was exactly what I needed. The mug it came in was awesome, too, very wabi-sabi baby!
We'll probably come back over the next few months. This place is a step above your average Denny's or IHOP, the staff all seemed pretty happy and the food was good.
Fun Fact: I don't know what a Grunion is, but make sure you take a peek at their "Flatlander's Special" . Takes a brave soul to order that, I assure you. ;)
