| - I realize that this is one of those Southside staples. A place young kids come because it's hip. The truth of the matter though, the food is sub par, the service has always been good for me, and the prices are high for the quality.
I have been here several times, wanting to give it "just one more chance." A girl's stomach can only handle so much bland wet mush though. I have had variations on the usual breakfast platter. Eggs, toast, meats, and potatoes.
Each and every time, the eggs are STILL sloppy and not completely cooked. The bacon is so far from crispy it shouldn't be consumed. The toast was so laden with salty butter I almost couldn't eat it (not to mention that two separate times I've gone they were out of wheat toast.) The coffee was acceptable.
My servers have always been so incredibly friendly and prompt that I almost feel bad writing a negative review. They have come back multiple times to make sure I have enough to drink, and that the food is what I wanted. I do have to say that the times I have been there the place was near deserted. (I tend to be out and about when most people are asleep, think 5:30 - 7:00am)
The ambiance that is set is very kitsch 1950s diner-esque complete with the vinyl booths.
In all, if it's midnight - 2:30am and you're in need of a hot meal to sober up before your bus ride home, go for it. If you're looking for a meal with any sort of flavor for a decent price, save yourself the time and money.
