| - My family and I decided to try this place out for breakfast. We came in just before 8am on a Saturday morning and it was pretty dead inside. We were kindly greeted by a waitress as soon as entering and then quickly seated. Our booth was very roomy with a large table and brown leather banquets.
After taking our drink orders she gave us time to flip through the menus.
I love that they offer all day breakfast here as well as fresh baked goods and pies. I particularly had my eye on the peanut butter silk cream pie but let's get through breakfast first.
Our waitress came back with our drinks and took our orders. Hubby ordered a coffee and they brought over a small carafe filled with coffee which I found to be a nice touch as you always had a hot refill waiting for you. I ordered a tea which also came with a small carafe of hot water and a tea bag on the side. However they serve Red Rose tea here which is one of my least favourite brands of tea...
Our food was ready in a short amount of time and we were ready to dig in. By this time the restaurant was starting to fill up so we were happy we just beat the rush of patrons coming in.
I decided to order the build a breakfast which comes with 2 eggs, choice of meat, choice of potatoes, and choice of bread item. I got scrambled eggs which were cooked simply and perfect, two slices of crispy turkey bacon, crispy hash browns which I loveddd - they are more like shredded potatoes that are browned on one side to get a nice crunchy golden brown crust and finally 3 buttermilk pancakes topped with a pat of butter. The pancakes were Soooo good!! Definitely the best part of my meal!! Thick, fluffy, buttery, and slightly sweetened. The pancakes come with a caddy of 3 different syrups to try but my favourite one was the berry flavoured one.
Hubby got the Triple Egg Dare ya which comes with 3 eggs, 3 slices applewood bacon, 3 sausage links, 2 buttermilk pancakes, 2 slices of french toast and crispy hash browns. He also really enjoyed his meal but his favourite part was the French Toast. Thick slices of sweet brioche bread perfectly cooked with a light dusting of powdered sugar and a pat of butter it was also heavenly!
Portions here were hugeee and we both could only tackle about half of our meals. We waited for a our waitress to return to ask to get it packed to go. Unfortunately our waitress took forever to return. I understand that restaurant was starting to get full at that time but she could of at least come back to check up on us. After finally getting her to get the takeout containers we needed another container and a bag for it all and again she went MIA. We flagged another waitress this time who kindly got us what we needed very quickly. Finally we waited on our waitress for a 3rd time because I still had my eye on getting a slice of that pie. When our waitress finally made a return she came to put the bill on the table without us even requesting it. I asked to order a slice of the pie and she graciously went to go check for me. Sadly the peanut butter pies were not ready yet so I didn't get my fix.
Overall I have to say the food was perfect! Hugeee portions at a reasonable price and everything was very tasty. The restaurant has a very homey feel and although service was fantastic in the beginning of our meal I wish it followed through as the restaurant got busier. However despite that little flub up I will still be making a return visit as I still have my eye on that pie!
