| - Tried Kay's today on the advice of some local residents in the area and couldn't be more impressed. This is not a place you're going to find on accident by just happening to drive by. It is tucked (and I mean TUCKED) in behind some trailers & warehouses and you'd never know it was there if you weren't looking for it. We drove right by it, and the only thing that saved us was the address on a sign out by the road. But when we got turned around and drove into the driveway, it opened up to a little warehouse looking diner with a good number of cars in the parking lot.
The inside is quite a lot larger than you would think by looking at the outside of the building. It was nice and roomy and didn't feel like people were all sitting on top of one another. The wait staff was friendly and we were seated really quickly. The goodly number of other people there before us didn't slow down our service at all.
I had the Irish Eggs Benedict and thought they were awesome. The hash browns were the best I've ever had, bar none. I wish I knew their secret. They were thick, fluffy on the inside, and the perfect golden crunch on the outside.
My niece got a blueberry pancake, which really was the size of Texas. It was the most enormous pancake I have ever seen in my entire life. It was thick, fluffy, and the blueberries inside it were amazing. Not wimpy, or wilted or over cooked but fresh and plump and delicious.
My sister's Greek omelette was a work of art. Spinach, feta cheese and tomatoes were the stars of the show, and they put on a beautiful performance. It was a beautiful, beautiful thing. I will be going back for a Greek omelette of my own soon - very soon.
The owner (whose name unfortunately I can't remember) was a delight. He came over to introduce himself and he was witty, and charming and seemed genuinely concerned that we enjoyed our meal and were happy with his restaurant. I've eaten at places from the east coast all the way to the west coast, and I have found only a handful of places where you can get a breakfast as delicious and satisfying as the breakfast we had at Kay's this morning.
The only un-positive thing about my experience was the bill. We were a party of 5, and I discovered when I went to add the tip to my credit card receipt that it had already been added automatically. I didn't remember that it had said anywhere that a gratuity was included, so maybe I missed it. We had enjoyed our meal so much that the tip that was automatically assessed by Kay's was actually less than I had intended to leave. I felt that was unfortunate for the wait staff.
If I could give you one piece of advice, it would be "GO!"
