| - So many people are in love with this place, and I guess I'll throw my hat into the ring.
The food is always amazing. The pizzas are great (and the perfect size for 1 while still sharing a slice), the burgers fantastic (be on the lookout for their burger of the week - always especially good), and their breakfast is wonderful. I'm usually here for breakfast, my favorite dish being the western scramble. (if you like horseradish.. just trust me on this. Don't even bother looking at the rest of the menu.)
Couple of things that i think sets this place apart; you can tell they use fresh ingredients and cook from scratch. Their breakfast potatoes are more than just plain diced, unseasoned squares, and the fresh, always soft-&-warm biscuit they serve with most of their (breakfast) entrees. Also, the staff is always amazingly friendly.
I wasn't a big fan initially of their style of "order at the counter and find a seat," but they do a good job of finding & having a table ready for you by the time you get your order in, and I don't mind getting up to get my own coffee / water / iced tea. Just be aware if it's you're first time in. It can be confusing to the uninitiated. (I came here the first time with my parents and grandparents... and my grandparents were completely confused as to how the system worked. And I wasn't too sure either) Also, if you walk in with just 1 or 2 of you, there's often room at the coffee bar, and you can sit over there, skip the line, and order from the barista.
one last tidbit; their espresso is pretty great. Ordered a vanilla latte with breakfast the last time i was in, and it was fantastic. Which sucks, because now I'll have to order it all the time...
UPDATE: 2-3 weeks ago i wrote an updated review pointing out that they refused to serve eggs that weren't scrambled, which bothered me a little. I recently received a message that they've since changed their policy on this point, and are serving eggs as the customer requests, which is very welcome. (unless it's specifically a "scramble" dish.)
