| - This is my mom's favorite breakfast place, so naturally we took her here in our Mother's Day celebration on Saturday. We arrived at about 10:30 or so and as usual, the place was jam-packed and I could barely squeeze through the doors to get my name in. We were quoted at about 20 minutes for a table of 3 and within 20 minutes we were seated. Good, because I was starving.
There are quite a few things that appeal to me on their menu. I am a big fan of their "heartier" pancakes. You know, the kind that are loaded with nuts and berries and other healthy crap. They are all very good. This time I went with an omelet. I chose the same thing as the husband did, a pear, bacon, sliced almond, and havarti creation. I thought it sounded a little weird, but I am a sucker for bacon and havarti. The omelet was delicious. It was a generous portion and all of the flavors melded together beautifully. I loved the differences in texture in every bite. The omelet was also served with potatoes that are so-so and an english muffin. By itself the english muffin was pretty lame, but if you add the apple cinnamon jelly that sits on the table, it's incredible. I LOVED that jelly. It was really really good, and I don't even like cinnamon.
The things that suck about this place are: the layout - it's very jumbled and sometimes I think the servers forget you; the servers outfits - I can't stand looking at the poor girls wearing high waisted khaki mom jeans, it's downright painful; the wait - whenever we come here, I am starving and it kills me to have to wait outside in the AZ heat. Overall though, this is a nice place. I enjoy coming here whenever we're out in the EV with my family.
