A slice of their strawberry rhubarb pie is enough to pull me across town just to eat there. I appreciate that they're open on holidays like Labor Day and that their service is always just the right amount of efficiency and considerateness.
I keep giving their non-pie food second and third chances and it just isn't that impressive compared to their pies. Somehow the plates I order just aren't flavorful enough, or hot enough, like the hashbrowns look great but come a little lukewarm, or their bacon looks like the package, but just isn't crispy. The slices of avocado are a little too thin. I never seem able to finish my plate, and I feel like I could do better in my own kitchen, no matter what breakfast or sandwich I've ordered there.
Maybe it's because I fill up on pie first...
