The eggs were brown, the coffee was weak, and the hashbrown potatoes were a bit flavorless from being overcooked... that being said, I totally get why people love this place! I got two eggs over medium with toast, bacon, and hashbrowns (my standard for judging any breakfast establishment), and my boyfriend got the ham scrambler with gravy on top (he's a sucker for gravy.. what can I say?). We managed to find two seats at the end of the counter on a busy Saturday morning. Service was quick and our waitress was so attentive.. our water glasses were never empty and she was happy to give me a styrofoam coffee cup and she even topped me up on the way out! This place is straight out of the 1950s from the cramped space to the way the order tickets get sent to the line. The food was relatively inexpensive ($7 for each of our meals that stuck to our bones for the better part of the day.. and we have hearty appetites!) and was definitely satisfying. Like some reviewers have mentioned before me: don't make this place something it isn't! Also, I mentioned that my potatoes were a bit flavorless, but when I took a bite of my guy's scrambler, it all came together! They need the gravy and cheese for sure. If you're new to Madison or just visiting, this is a classic establishment that you really should check out!
