My normal breakfast joint was closed today, so I gave this restaurant a shot since it's close to home. I came in about three years ago but I can't really recall why I haven't been back.
For me, I could frame the experience around the home fries. I was looking forward to nice griddle finished home fries. You know the ones - soft potato with a crispy brown/black edge from the griddle top, with flavorful seasoning? Yeah, that's not what they do here. Instead you take cubed potatoes and throw them in the deep fryer, creating little square marbles that lack the texture and flavor of true home fries. Essentially, they are phoning in the effort on this part of the menu.
Service was friendly but ended on a sour note. I was her only customer yet it took five minutes to run my credit cards. Let's call it a minute to run the dirty dishes back to the dishroom, and then four minutes of chatting with a customer at the counter about cell phone plans.
With all of the great breakfast places nearby, including Joybus Diner and Perk, there's simply no reason to go back.
