| - I've been here twice now for brunch. Each time I'm a bit amazed at how good the food really is for a small town place tucked in near the train tracks.
I went a la carte on my last visit and ordered a pancake, sausage patties, hash browns, and a side of fruit. I figured they would all be super small side portions, but boy was I wrong. They were very generous with the plating and I couldn't finish all of my food.
The pancake was delicious and looked so tempting that my friend had to sneak a taste too and agreed. It was a fluffy disc the size of a large plate with a dollop of whipped butter on the top. It's probably a dish you can recall from memory of a past experience, but this pancake still exceeded my expectations. The maple syrup mixed in with the melted butter to create a wonderful balance of decadent sweetness.
If you're looking to order a dish straight off the menu, I would recommend the Spanish Omelette. Cheesy eggs and meat together with a little bit of spice. What's not to love? A note to spice wimps that the dish is not too hot on the scale.
Let there be a warning that service is fairly slow here. If you're someone that often needs a refill of coffee or water, this probably isn't the place for you.
Most servers are friendly at least, but one of the women that runs food orders is not only not helpful, but is rude and dismissive. I tried to politely ask about the side of fruit that I ordered and was missing from the table, and she rudely said the other woman would bring it and walked away. My server then came out, but there was still no side of fruit. I had to kindly ask again for my order. My server quickly fixed this issue, but the other woman had the first opportunity to correct the order and dismissed me.
All in all, I deducted a star for service, but it's a place I'd go to again if I was in the area. At least I know that I'll get a pretty good meal if nothing else.
