| - This seems to be the place to go to in Lakewood for breakfast and brunch. Service is quick and efficient, typical for any given greasy spoon diner. Menu offerings are typical for breakfast with regards to eggs, sausage, ham, waffles, pancakes, etc, but does have a special/seasonal menu with their typical fare
With my first visit, I was recommended the gyro skillet by my waitress. It really wasn't impressive. was just a breakfast salad of potatoes, gyro meat, some peppers, eggs?, all mixed up. I couldn't figure out why it was a thing. Maybe it was a one-off, so I visited again and ordered the special peaches and waffle and sausage. Not sure what happened, but the order got totally botched. They gave me bacon instead, and the server decided to look at her pad to make sure I was wasn't wrong before having me pick up the bacon with my hands and put it on the dish to take back. She did trade me for an extra sausage link for my trouble. Then waffle was just a waffle with canned peaches dumped on top. The menu advertised whipped cream with the waffle, which I looked around the waffle, and couldn't find any. To add insult to injury, I got overcharged for the order, since she assumed the price was the same compared to another different waffle dish and didn't really bother to recalculate the bill when I brought it up. Not once was there an apology for any of the mistakes.
I really wanted to like this establishment, since there were so many glowing reviews. I'm also one to focus on the food and flavors, and I couldn't care less about service, coming from a Chinese background being used to the low standards of Chinese restaurant service. However, the standard set here really sets a new low with regards to accuracy of getting the order right and the unapologetic service for all of the mistakes made even for American standards. By all means, I'm sure the traditional breakfast offerings are all right, if I went down that route, but I can't justify myself returning here again to find out if that's even true.
