| - Decent food, good service - and long lines!
Recommended!
This place has only been open a couple weeks, and I was eager to give it a try, despite the mixed reviews. Three of us ventured here just before noon on a Sunday, so it was no surprise that we had to wait. They told us it would be 40 minutes, but we had a table in a little over a half hour.
Food:
I ordered Joe's Hobo Omelette, and it was really good!. I prefer low-carb, so I substituted cottage cheese instead of the hash browns and biscuit. The omelette was huge, with lots of meat and cheese. Definitely not for the cholesterol-watchers! I also enjoyed the three types of hot sauce to spice up my Joe's Hobo. The Papa Burn has habanero, so it's spicy! But it's flavorful, too. The Mama Burn and Baby Burn were less spicy, and each had its own character. I suggest you try them all and decide what works best for you.
While the food was good, my friend ordered a side salad which included the "butt" (or core) of a head of lettuce. They should be more careful to omit these from their salads!
One thing to note: Yelp doesn't yet have a link to the menu, so try this: https://blackbeardiner.com/menu/breakfast/
Cost:
My meal, with no drinks, was a reasonable $10.80 including tax. Considering the amount of food, I'd call this a good value.
Service:
Like I said, they were really busy! It took about a half hour to be seated, and once we ordered it was another half hour before our food arrived. Our server was personable, and checked back on us often, so there's that.
Atmosphere:
As others have said, the decor is reminiscent of a hunting lodge. But I have to say, it's a bit kitschy, not at all authentic. Still, there's a lot to see while you wait... :-)
Overall:
The food was good, so I'd like to give this another try when it's less busy.
