| - I visited last week for the first time. Found it here on yelp when I was looking for a nearby spot for some breakfast. It had very good reviews, so I tried it out. I prefer independent, mom and pop type places over the big chains.
I like the look and feel of the place--very hipster. I ordered the chili pork over a biscuit, topped with egg sunnyside up... I sat down and waited while they prepared my food. First thing I noticed was that everyone was involved in the kitchen area, as it was a small setup.. Only one person working there was wearing any kind of hair restraint. The main person doing most of the cooking was not wearing a cap or hairnet.. And, to top it off, no one was wearing gloves or washing their hands. I noticed the main cook go up to the cash register to wait on a customer, handle the person's money, then go right back to cooking without washing his hands. And he was directly handing raw food at the time.
To make matters worse, when my food arrived, the egg I had ordered sunnyside up had the yolk 3/4 cooked and it was sealed up tight like the egg was basted instead of sunnyside up.. The purpose of ordering a sunnyside up egg on a dish like this is to have the velvety yolk make a sauce of sorts on the dish.
I sent the store an online message thru their websites "contact us" link, but after one week,have heard nothing back. I believe everyone deserves a chance. No place is perfect and everyone has a bad day. But for them to have some GLARING health department issues and some basic cooking issues and not respond to a sincere guest letter with honest feedback says alot about the place..
I say Stay away if you value your safety
