I've had some great meals at The Coffee Pot, but there are a few things that miss the mark that make me wonder why some things can be so good and others so mediocre.
The sausages. Why do they serve these things. I've had better sausages from a free hotel breakfast. There's no skin and it's very greasy and mushy. Like the kind you fondly remember from elementary school cafeteria breakfast. These are the worst part about The Don where you get a little bit of everything - everything else is on point (excellent bacon). I honestly would have rather paid the same price and had them exclude the sausage.
I've never had really good coffee from here. The last two times I've been there it barely tastes like coffee - just hot water. You gotta have that strong diner coffee, especially if you're going to be called "The Coffee Pot". This is not a difficult one to solve - they're just not using enough coffee beans for the water. Most gas station coffee I've gotten is stronger.
The Banana pancakes are AWESOME as are the home-fries. The omelettes are made very well. They have a lot going for them.
Overall, they're at 3.5 stars right now in my book. Stronger coffee would bump it up to 4 stars and better quality sausage would make it 4.5 stars.
