| - This is the second time I've eaten at Cora's. The first time was over a year ago, at a different location. The food was great. Service was great. Overall, the experience was great. This time, not so much. The wait was only about 15 mins, which is expected, especially on weekends. We were seated at a two-seated table, towards the back of the restaurant and between the wall and pillar. There was barely any room to move. It seemed as though the table was randomly placed there to accommodate for the wait. As I skimmed the menu, I was set on ordering the Cora's special. Because I am avoiding starchy carbs at the moment, I asked if I could substitute the potatoes and bread for anything. I was told I would get sliced tomatoes. Other breakfast spots have offered me extra eggs, fruits or even a salad as an alternative. This did not seem like a fair replacement for 2 of the items in my breakfast. Nevertheless, I settled on getting the "10 star omelette" that contained bacon, ham, sausages, frankfurters, bologna, spinach, green onions, tomatoes, onions, red and green peppers, mushrooms and Cheddar cheese. I replaced the toast and potatoes for the sliced tomatoes and was given a bit of fruit as well, which somewhat compensated. I forgot to mention no onions (my fault), so I had to pick them out of the omelette and they were huge. I also ordered a side of bacon and was given 4 strips that were too overcooked. I found them more hard, than crispy. For the most part, the food was satisfactory. The omelette was fairly large. Unfortunately, the last bite of my omelette had egg shells in it, so that kind of ruined it a bit. In total, my meal was about $18 before taxes. Too over priced, for my experience. Because I've only been to this chain twice and the first time was good, I won't base my overall opinion on this one less-than-great experience and still rate it a 3/5.
