| - i was sitting in sunset and wondering why this place has a handful of locations across the city. after all, its just a diner. their breakfasts, which have drawn me from a sunday slumber, are what attract me the most, yet theres nothing too special about them. today i had your classic eggs, bacon, oj, toast and hashbrowns.
the difference, though, was there were 3 eggs, about 6 pieces of great bacon (damn hard to screw that up though), freshly squeezed oj, the option of dark rye toast (unusual in a diner situation, and they were thick pieces) and for the descriptive finally, hash browns covered in melted cheddar cheese and oregano. so then, it might appear that the step up is portion size for one. for two, you might say thinking outside of the box with the dressed up browns, and the rye toast. as for the third round, the hash brown delight, it wasnt even offered as part of my breakfast special, but i asked if it was possible and because it wasnt a busy day the waitress added it on no problem.
now i dont know if it was extra, but i didnt care as i had all that and my wife had pancakes and it was 14 bucks. pretty cheap i think.
another reason for their popularity must be the down to earth professional staff, their other wide range of salads, soups, sandwiches, etc. and the happy go lucky family environment that makes it perfect for aneighbourhood hangout, especially as a brunch venue.
