You can froth at the mouth all you want about local business vs corporations. When it comes to breakfast, most local places are as clean as a bus station. This place is immaculate. Small and modern to fit in with Lakewood(not your typical barn sized hee haw you find at any highway exit). The food is pretty much like any other Bob Evans. Edible yes. Memorable no. Sometimes diarrhea is memorable. They push their specialty breads hard here. A display up front, "grains" motif all over the place. You know what? They make a damn good banana bread. As for corporate spots failing in Lakewood? Sure, it's happened countless times. That Five Guys came and went quicker than I could fry an egg. But 56 West was a local breakfast biz with lots of buzz. It went belly up(or sunny side up if you prefer) in a couple years. All the bars on Detroit change concepts annually. This place almost too smartly built a location right next to a ton of senior housing. Bloody brilliant if you ask me. I see them hanging around. I don't really even like breakfast all that much. The Judd Apatow of meals. Filling, good for a laugh, but ultimately pretty boring and free of imagination. All that said, I dig this here hash house. More local jobs is okay by me. Old people gotta eat too you know.
