| - Thanks, but no thanks.
We've driven by this place on multiple occasions and on my boyfriend's insistence that we give it a try, we finally did.
First impression, the crowd of elderly people was not encouraging, but we went inside and several tables were filled (and more were empty). We were instantly greeted by a young man, who was very nice and sat us in a booth. Two seconds later coffee was being poured into the mugs already on the table by our waitress, and a guy came and plopped water glasses down without a word and walked away.
The menu is sort of all over the place with pictures and bright colors (which didn't do the food any favors). That in itself made it difficult to order since I had a preview of what I was in for. Nonetheless I tried to ignore them and I ordered a #7 which was supposed to be an egg scramble with onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, bacon, and feta, accompanied by toast and home fries. My boyfriend got 2 eggs over medium with biscuits and gravy.
Shortly after ordering our food arrived. It did not look great and upon trying to stick a fork in mine I noticed the general lack of egg. There were peppers, there were mushrooms, there were onions, bacon galore, feta to be sure, but where were those pesky eggs? Apparently they are with Waldo in the kitchen. The "home fries".. Lets face it, they were hot nothing. No butter, no onions, no salt, no pepper, just what seemed like sliced boiled potatoes. Even Samwise would have avoided putting these in his stew.
I didn't try them, but my bf said the gravy was tasteless and his over medium eggs were cooked well.
The two young men chatting up front are whom I can only assume are the "brothers". They were very friendly in their designer jeans, but perhaps if they returned them they could afford a cohesive menu with food in their food. I mean, shouldn't there be eggs in an egg scramble? Perhaps next time we drive by ill pop in and give them a few eggs from my backyard chickens so they can avoid future embarrassment.
