| - The latest (I think) addition to the Famous Toastery family arrived in Huntersville in early January and from what I can tell has been packing crowds in, especially for weekend breakfast since they opened.
The chain started as Toast and had to change the name in order to expand into South Carolina. Their calling card, as much as anything, is the mantra of every server being your server and that definitely played out on our visit as we had any number of staff members taking orders, bringing food, refilling drinks, etc. It's a relatively high tech operation in that orders are taken on tablets vs. written on order pads or simply memorized by the server. They've got other nice operational touches like two colors of coffee cups. One for decaf and one for high-test so there's never a question as to what you're drinking, only if you'd like it warmed up.
They're open 7 days a week, 7 AM to 3 PM and both the breakfast and lunch menu items are available the entire day. I've only had breakfast thus far and have enjoyed what I've ordered with the most recent try being the corned beef hash with poached eggs. It was old school, hash (think from a can) so nothing fancy but it was tasty with perfectly poached eggs on top. i
Price-wise, I can see where other reviewers are coming from... It may be a little steep but, not too off-putting IMO. The one downer for me is that it is LOUD when the place is full. It's hard floors and high ceilings so not much to absorb sound. On top of that, it seemed like they played the music loud to make sure you could hear it on top of all the customer talking and that just made things worse. I also agree that parking is very limited. It helps that you can use the Credit Union spaces next door on Sundays but, things could be better. None of that is enough to stop me from coming back however and i look forward to sampling some lunch items in the near future.
