Preparation 4/5
Let me walk through my experience.
I am greeted by their owner who is an older black man named Larry. He is a very sociable guy but doesn't lean on you too hard. Makes you feel very welcome.
I arrived with my mother and I just wanted some coffee, eggs, and bacon which they had for an extremely good price of 2.50 + coffee. I wanted sausage too and that cost an additional $3 which didn't make much sense.
The bar would be a perfect spot to sit and eat if you are there alone or just with a buddy. We go into the dining area and it is a very grandma-esque with its appearance and had a bunch of art around.
The waiter approaches and asks if I want some coffee which I agree to. He's a bit quiet to be a waiter and lacking people skills but was polite.
We received complimentary coffee cake with caramel which was really good but our food took about 20-25 minutes. In the meantime, I decided to piss / check out the bathroom. The sole small unisex bathroom could use a bit of cleaning to help solidify comfort to newbies and customers in general.
WHAT HURT THE REVIEW?
Normally I think I would give this a 3/5 but the owner really has a passion for making people feel comfortable.
The price of additional sausage being more than a meal (2 eggs with choice of sausage or bacon) hurts the rating.
The atmosphere was pretty cool and unique but it was a bit claustrophobic as it wasn't too big.
The waiters were a bit strange in personality.
The bathroom not being taken care of.
