| - My friend from Pitt said that this chain is a huge part of Pittsburgh, as in it's where everyone goes when they have no where else to eat. She said it was like a Denny's and we were all just starving in the morning, so we said what the heck and headed there.
It really is just like a Denny's. Or maybe like a cross between that and Marie Calender's. They had a lot of pies and such, but my native friend warned me that they tasted bad. The server sat us right next to a hot buffet, and right then, I knew that I didn't even have look at the menu. It was only $7.99 for the hot brunch buffet, at least until 11:00 and we had gotten there at 10:30. The breakfast items consisted of yogurt, sausage, bacon, eggs, potato cakes, hash browns, apple pie poppers, fried cream cheese corn bites, oatmeal, and some other things that I can't remember. I was disappointed because I thought the corn things were chicken nuggets and the apple pie things were jalapeno poppers, but thinking back, considering it was breakfast, that should have been obvious...
The food tasted alright. Nothing particularly special or disgusting. What WAS great was that it switched to lunch about 15 minutes early so I got to eat the lunch buffet for the SAME PRICE. It added ham, mash potatoes, penne pasta, chili, stuffing and gravy, macaroni and cheese, and fried chicken. I was sad though that they took away the cream cheese bites and the potato cakes, because those tasted great. Considering the price and the relative quality of the food, I'd say that this place was a bargain. My friend's omelette looked okay, but I didn't try any of it because I was too busy with my own food.
My friend also insisted that we had to eat a Smiley cookie, which is what they are apparently known for. It tasted pretty meh...
