| - After two hours of sleep and a flight from Chicago back to Arizona, I was very hungry and wanted breakfast within a 5 miles radius of the airport. I found this place off of Mill St, right by a Valley Metro stop.
The interior is a mix of IKEA and Chipotle. You order at the counter, get a metal letter placard for your table so the staff can bring out your food, and you fill your own drinks. I don't mind that at all; but it seemed like 75% of the college students coming in were confused about the concept. They would huddle around the registers looking at the menu brochures, look up bewildered at the menu on the upper wall, and then look down at their brochures again. The workers would get frustrated by this and ask over and over, "I can take someone's order here when they are ready" to get these kids moving.
Anyway, that's not a point against the restaurant at all--just warning you what to expect.
I ordered the strawberry pancakes and grilled potatoes. I wolfed down as much as I could--everything tasted fresh, and you can tell the potatoes weren't frozen. I didn't find anything bland--the pancakes didn't need any zest to them.The prices are a little on the higher end compared to a diner, but you are getting really good, really fresh food; not frozen, unpredictable crud from a Denny's.
