| - My girlfriend and I came in here for brunch and were sorely dissatisfied. I had some pancakes, bacon and eggs. While those were okay, I could have gotten the same thing for the same value at Denny's for $5 cheaper. However, my girlfriend's meal was another story.
She had the 1/2 sandwich, soup and salad combo. I'll start with the salad, because that was the best part. The salad was decent; I'm not sure how you can mess up a bowl of mixed greens. The avocado ranch was a nice touch as well. Neither of us are sure why they served saltines with the salad and oyster crackers with the soup, but sure, why not.
The soup was a "Yankee Potroast" soup. My girlfriend coined it as "minestrone with one quarter-sized piece of meat", and that it had obviously been microwaved. Not a huge deal, but I think we all prefer food from an establishment that isn't microwaved and serves meat when it's advertised in the name.
Finally, the 1/2 sandwich was a corned beef sandwich on ciabatta bread. The ciabatta bread was hard as a rock, probably old. When it was deemed inedible, I suggested that she just take the sandwich apart and eat the beef and greens. The beef was so wet that when my girlfriend carefully took the sandwich apart, it splattered onto her wallet. Ew. Altogether, her meal at $7.29 of microwaved soup, mediocre salad, and an unappetizing sandwich was not worth the price.
I'll note one more thing here. With my pancakes I had poached eggs, and thank goodness I did, because I saw one of the servers shoving scrambled eggs into a bucket. I'm not sure when these scrambled eggs were cooked; it was likely in the morning for easy access when someone ordered them to pull out of the bucket, heat up, and serve. However, I'm not sure why they can't just cook scrambled eggs to order. That makes no sense to me.
All in all, it was a disappointing experience. I'm hoping that this was just an anomalous branch in an otherwise reputable chain and that they can fix some of these problems.
