| - Every time we have tried to go to The Bridge, it has been packed. This is partially an issue because they are open mostly for breakfast (though they recently started opening for dinner on the weekends), but one day we finally waited out the wait and were lucky enough to score a table - but they were still packed. I guess the folks in Hemby Bridge have been waiting for something other than chain-like restaurants (to be fair, Hemby Bridge isn't large, so there are never going to be a ton of options either way).
Regardless - the greeting, and the people who you hang out with if you choose to wait, are very pleasant. It almost makes you want to wait. They even have a great outdoor patio, including a nice swing. And if it's near the middle of the day you can instead choose to have a treat at the snowball place next door.
If you choose to tough it out, then the menu is essentially a fancied up Waffle House. Does that mean that they are better than the Waffle House? Depends. Once you get past the wait, you are likely to wait some more. They are more than likely going to treat you nicely, which is hit or miss elsewhere. But it's going to be slower than the wham, bam, thank you ma'am at the Waffle House. It certainly isn't relaxing, however, as there are just too many people to make it so.
When it comes to food, it's good - not greasy like the fast-serve places, but also lacking the down-home flavor (ie: massive amounts of grease) from those as well. So there are tradeoffs, not the least of which is the amount of time it will take you.
