Had the breakfast special on 9-17-11: sausage and biscuit with mushroom gravy and sausage, and two fried eggs. YUMMY.
With the economy where it is, the dish reflected the smaller portions you would expect for such tasty food at $8.95. I ate the plate of food, wanted to lick the remaining juices off the plate (managed to restrain myself) and complimented them on the way out, with a Chocolate croissant in my hand.
Still really great food, but if you have a huge appetite you might want to order a side dish also, as the portion is fairly small.
Just as a reminder to other reviewers, because I'm a friendly guy who likes people to understand things which I understand:
Essence sells M-A-C-A-R-O-N-S.
The do not sell MacarOOns. Only one "O" at the end.
