| - Generally, I do not like the "wait for seating"arrangment of no-reservation restaurants. Committing to have Sunday breakfast at 11am at this family oriented restaurant was counter-intuitive. Realistically we may have waited 30 minutes, but I had a good time talking to other people waiting, interacting with cute kids, and chatting w my friend so the time went quickly.
At that time we had a choice to go with lunch, but both of us chose breakfast.
The coffee left a little to be desired for my tastes. I like rich, medium or dark roast, and this was more old-school that likely plays better to the crowd.
The menu had lots of great choices. I ordered a California omelette but asked that they make it into a scramble instead. My friend ordered the meat lovers omelette.
My eggs came out great; the avocado and the fresh tomato was just the right ripeness and it was seasoned well, salt-wise. There was an enormous portion of grits, and my rye toast was served dry as I asked. As the scramble was three eggs, the plate was a small mountain of food, and all of it very good.
My friend liked his eggs also.
Our server was pleasant enough. That she made sure I got the eggs and toast as I asked was appreciated considering how busy she was. My coffee was refilled at just the right times.
It got loud there a couple times with a semi-trained toddler acting up at the next booth and 2 large family tables near us, but it wasn't unbearable.
I liked this place, and look forward to the next visit.
