| - It truly breaks my heart to give a bad review to a local restaurant, but I know that others rely on Yelp reviews just as much as I do for a source of truth. My husband and I went in 2 Saturdays ago at 8:45am. There was exactly one other person in the dining room and as we stood at the front podium for a solid 5 minutes, there was not a server or restaurant worker to be seen. Just as we were walking away, a server finally made an appearance and asked to hold so she could seat us. She brought us to a booth, handed us menus, and told us that our server would be right over. Another 5 minutes later (and again, only 1 other person in the ENTIRE restaurant), our server finally arrived. She took our drink and food order and returned with coffee a few minutes later. We unwrapped our utensils to find only a fork and a knife. We sat, once again, waiting to flag down a server and after several minutes, I gave up and stirred my coffee with my knife. Our server arrived back to the table with our food. She was in some sort of a rush because she dropped off our plates and practically ran off.
My husband and I both ordered the breakfast special (2 eggs, 1 meat, home fries, toast). The toast came un-buttered and hardly warm and the butter in the dish was cold out of the fridge. The eggs were supposed to be over medium, but were more like a flipped version of over easy. The potatoes were COLD. Not just heated and sat out cold....more like from the fridge and tossed lightly on a griddle cold. Some of the pieces were warm on the outside, but they were stone cold inside. They also tasted old. My husband had the same issue with his and he never sends food back, but had to because they were legit inedible! The server returned with a fresh batch of potatoes and apologized for us "not getting fresh potatoes the first time". Really?!
The only 2 redeemable qualities were the sausage links (hot and delicious) and the coffee. This is a heartbreak for us because my husband adores going out for breakfast and our local options are quite limited. We had high hopes for 701 Main, but they fell completely flat.
