I’ve been here a few times since I moved to the area. My BF loves going out for Sunday breakfast. The Pros: inexpensive, always has seating even when other breakfast places nearby have a wait, large portions, good grilled muffins, and some of the staff is really nice. The Cons: The food is just so so, or in some cases worse. Last time, I had so many substantial-sized pieces of egg shells in one side of my omelet that even my non-picky BF suggested we try a new spot next time. One of the servers acts like she hates her job.

First time coming here and brought my cousins from canada and we all loved it. The place is a little out of the way but its worth it. All the items are very affordable, the wait for service was short, and our items were tasty. We went early for brunch and my cousin and his girlfriend got the omelettes which can be made your way or you can choose one of the many options, which both came with toast and home fries. I got the hungry man special which comes with 3 eggs, bacon, sausage, home fries, toast, and milk or juice. Everything was fresh and hot and came out in short notice. The waiter was nice and his service was what I call normal haha Cant say much about anything else since we were satisfied with our experience and the chef even came out to see how everyone in the diner was doing which you normally never see which I thought was a plus. Will definitely be back whenever im in the area.

My family and I went here on my day off of work and it was empty. Perfect! We got the thick french toast with bananas, mickey mouse blueberry pancake, chocolate chip pancakes, side of bacon and side of potatoes. Everything was delicious and the service was great. The bill came out to about $ 15, awesome price. This is my go-to breakfast place.

I had the worst restaurant experience EVER! Sunday, March 9th I went in alone to order breakfast around lunch time. I ordered American French toast with strawberries, bananas, blueberries and whipped cream. It took quite awhile to get two slices of French toast with frozen strawberries and blueberries the size of gerbil droppings. The food was cold because of the fruit and whipped cream, not much food for the $ 6.50 price tag, so I thought. When I got my bill, the waitress charged me $ 8.45! I pointed out to her that the menu indicated this dish was $ 6.50. She, and two other waitresses told me the owner hadn’t changed the menu yet. When I asked for my money back, I was informed it was only a two dollar difference and I wasn’t getting a refund because the owner hadn’t changed the menu! BAIT and SWITCH, isn’t that illegal?

After hunting around for a restaurant without a 60 minute wait we came across«greatest breakfast & lunch» and figured why not try somewhere new. We arrived approximately around 11am on Sunday, we were able to choose our own seating since the restaurant was only at half of their capacity. Once we ordered we got our food after about 10 minutes. The food was average, my boyfriend ordered an omelette and the veggie loaded home fries. The veggies were very fresh! I ordered the french toast and home fries with one egg. The french toast could have been better with fresh strawberries since the fake strawberries end up mushy and the sauce from them made the french toast soggy. Ok décor, ok food average restaurant overall. Byob is a unique amenity though!

Love the menu and so many choices, have been here for breakfast and lunch and service was excellent and so was the food. Yes, unisex bathroom… it is a dinner type of restaurant and it was acceptable for a restaurant as such, and have always found it clean and well stocked(tp and pt).

Three of us stopped in for a late morning breakfast on a Sunday. The restaurant was mostly filled, but we were able to be seated immediately. Our order was taken, and coffee and waters were brought. And then we waited. At twenty five minutes, our waitress came to the table to apologize that they were«slammed» and the food would be in five to seven more minutes. During this time, only one other party of two entered. Some of the tables were emptying. At thirty five minutes in, our waitress came by again to apologize and say the food was coming right out. Five minutes later, a different waitress stopped by and noted that she had seen us waiting a very long time. By this time, the restaurant was ¾ empty and new orders had not been coming in. We told that waitress one minute or we were leaving. This was at 43 minutes. As we were getting up to leave at 45 minutes, the food came out. The two people who came in a few minutes after us were asking for a check for their coffee and were about to leave, tired of waiting. 45 minutes. We should have left. The food was mediocre at best, the breakfast sausage undercooked, and, ironically, the food was cold! The waitresses felt awkward about what occurred and comped the two coffees. The manager/hostess would not even come near or make eye contact. Don’t bother with this place. And a previous poster was correct; the unisex bathroom is «kind of gross.»

Very average all around. Average food. Average service. Average cleanliness(except the bathroom — that was kind of gross). Terrible water(I live in Wakefield and MY tap water doesn’t taste like that!). I gave them two tries(as I have tried most of the last four businesses that were in this spot) and I don’t think I will return. Too many better restaurants in the area.

Prices, and portions are great! Cheese and mushroom omelette was tasty, coffee and OJ was fresh, my server Briana was tops! Look out Brother’s Deli, you have some serious competition for my breakfast fare. I will certainly come back!

First time coming here. Came in at 10 didn’t get served until 1130. Didn’t leave until 1145. Four orders of pancakes burnt, partial orders, no one was apologetic. I’m usually very understanding of places, but if I could give negative stars for this place I would.”

Stumbled upon to this new & soon to be local favorite. Asked what the chef recommended and he did not let me down with an unbelievably awesome Steak Tip Plate. Got the mashed potatoes and corn and the chef so kindly added the gravy I was hoping for. Instant classic and very reasonably priced. Service was spot on and the atmosphere will only become more openly social as the customers realizes the quality here at the Greatest Breakfast & Lunch. Look for me become a regular here!

If I could give it no stars I would and I cant speak of the food since we NEVER got served!!! We went on a Sunday late morning, 11:45ish. There were maybe 2 or 3 other tables. My son ordered waffle fries off the menu, which the waitress came back after 15 mins to tell him they don’t have waffle fries anymore. Well then, update your menu. Two other parties that came in AFTER, us got their breakfast, and still we waited. Another 10 mins the waitress came over and said it would be just a couple of more mins. Five mins later I asked at the counter how much longer it would be to which she replied«its coming right out». That did not happen. We left after waiting a total of 45 mins. If something happened such as the waitress forgot to put the order in or whatever, if we were just simply given an explanation, any explanation, we would have understood, but there was just BS. Sorry I would NEVER go back, EVER!!!

This is a new business and I really hope it succeeds. It is located in a strip mall on a side street. While the décor is more for an Italian restaurant, the food was excellent for breakfast. It is spacious and service was very good. The portions for the money is what stands out. We are not from this area and do hope these people will do well. One suggestion would be to have better quality orange juice. The oatmeal & muffins were outstanding. We would visit them again.

This business just opened at a location that has had several diners recently. I stopped in with my family for breakfast and we ordered a simple egg breakfast, thick French toast, and an omelette. The Italian omelette was brimming with cheese, cold cuts, and vegetables. One ingredient(tomatoes) was initially forgotten as a garnish, but was brought out separately without having to ask for it. The bacon was also excellent(crispy as requested). The other food was good, with ample portions. Ambiance is sparse and the service was adequate. Overall, I’ll go back as it is very convenient and the prices were reasonable.
