| - I'm a bit torn deciding whether to write this review in the first place, but it's only based on a few minutes of customer service.
I was in the area and found this place on the Yelp search for brunch, and it came up with a high aggregate rating. I called ahead to see if they had TV's as I was hoping to catch a live game, and they said they did and would put it on for me. My wife and I arrived and it has a very colourful 50's feel, albeit a bit kitschy and anachronistic. Immediately I saw that there were just 3 smaller TV's mounted to the ceiling each playing CP24, which for their size is all that they're probably good for. The host looked thrown off that I was looking to find the best place to watch the game (even though I mentioned it again when I arrived).
Our server arrived very quickly and already asked if we were ready to order - which we weren't apart from drinks. I mentioned if they could change the channel for my game and she said she'd go ask. My coffee arrived very quickly, and it met the weak and bland variety you fear for when going to a greasy spoon. The server asked if we were ready, but we still needed another minute.
The breakfast menu is pretty straightforward with: pancakes, waffles, french toast, and omelettes being the main options, along with the regular sides. It's pretty straightforward, and 'no substitutions' is repeated a few times on the menu. Don't go expecting benny's, hash dishes, skillets, etc... It was funny that the table had one of those triangular adds made by egg lobby saying to try the corn beef hash, but this place didn't offer it.
I guess the 'no substitutions' is a general theme of this place, considering how thrown off they seemed to be by my request to sit somewhere else, and not being ready to order within two minutes. The next time we saw our waitress was about 10 minutes later and having to ask for her. She told us it would still be a few minutes to be able to change the game as 'she' (the manager presumably) was busy. I suppose they don't trust just anyone with the remote control. I really wanted to watch my game, and since I asked in advance, I didn't feel rude to simply cut my losses and just leave. It was also a bit of a relief, since I wanted a bit more than greasy spoon.
To balance out the review a little, the prices did seem very cheap, and judging by the popularity, I'm guessing it's good for what you pay for. Just be aware that this is a greasy spoon with a fairly basic menu, and is also not the place to offer much personalized service.
