| - Here's the thing about breakfast places. Either you're going for a unique and authentic dining experience or you're going for the resto-chain experience. When I go in, I'm fully expecting a franchised experience I so take everything with a grain of salt.
I heard about their potatoes and being potato fan that I am, I was interested in trying them out. Happily, when I had them the first and second time, I was quite satisfied with them. They're like refried mashed potatoes. There's that nice pan fried aroma and flavor that satisfies the junk foodie in me and the comfort of warm mashed potatoes. I even ordered just a plate of potatoes once! What I appreciate is that the waitress didn't look at me weird when I asked for just a plate of potatoes with a tea for breakfast. (I had a light breakfast at home and was just accompanying a friend by ordering a plate.)
Are there lineups? Yes (I've never had to wait).
Noisy? Yes (especially if there's a birthday person).
Service a hit-or-miss? Yes (for me it's been ok).
Pricey? Yes (I think I can do better for that price).
But it's a convenient place to hit up in the area cause Saint-Leonard doesn't really have any good breakfast place in the vicinity so I won't complain. If you want, McD's is right across the parking lot!
Another time, I ordered just a fresh fruit cup. It's quite filling! Also just a touch expensive. It was $7.95 but with tax and tip comes to about $10ish...so yeah, that's a little steep for a dozen grapes, 3 strawberries, 1 blackberry, half a banana, slice of honeydew, slice of cantaloup, half slice of grapefruit, slice of cactus pear, 2 quarter slices watermelon, slice of kiwi and one very sour slice of piney apple.
Saturday and Sundays only offer the breakfast menu. Lunch menu only offered during weekdays.
