| - Got sent home from work early one day, which would have been great, except that the traffic along the strip of Hwy. 7 where the restaurant is located was an usually bad f*disaster, even worse than usual. I didn't feel like waiting till I got home so I decided to shoot in here now. It wasn't particularly busy, I guess since it was early afternoon and a weekday, so the one wait staff was taking care of the customers who were in at the moment on her own. I asked to be seated up near the window so maybe that partially accounted for the slower service, but she was attentive enough and happy to accommodate my out-of-the-way location while she covered the entire floor. I definitely had to order the big breakfast, and you do get a lot for the $10. The eggs were a bit cold and dry by the time the plate reached me, but let's face it, no one really cares about the eggs yet when there's all that pork (2 pieces each of peameal, sausages, rashers) hogging all the attention. When I did get to those 3 eggs, the yolks were a good consistency, so that somewhat outweighed the lacklustre whites and temperature. I was happy to eat the few pieces of fruit (small slice of cantaloupe, small but edible slice of orange) that accompanies the meal, thereby giving a customer the satisfaction of having the illusion that it's not so bad eating all that animal product if you have your healthy food included in the same meal. The toast comes on a separate plate which I find nice. And don't forget the pancakes on yet another plate, kept warm, covered and waiting under the sheet (top plate) for you. Not that I could finish them, but I had to sample the goods and they were satisfactory.
To add the coffee and a healthy tip, you'll still spend about $18, but it's a very fair price to pay for all the the food plus wait service and I'd come again another day.
Some items I would add to my wish-list to make it 5 stars: Wi-Fi would be nice, and a couple of slices of tomato would really go a long way toward making it a fully fleshed-out feast.
