We loved this place. Our first time. I had the bacon flight and the green chicken chili hash. Others in the party had pancakes and omelettes. In addition to flights of bacon, they have flights of iced coffee and mimosas. The atmosphere was great and the servers fun. I highly recommend it.

Very nice new, clean and modern atmosphere. Lots of traditional breakfast dishes including omelets and skillets. Some vegetarian and vegan options including avocado, toast and oatmeal. We did wait to be seated. However, we did not have to wait long. The wait staff was nice and very accommodating. They have lots of both breakfast and lunch items but the menu was not too overwhelming. They have fun and trendy names for many of their dishes. It’s nice that they not only have regular coffee, but also lattes and cappuccinos available. Prices were very reasonable. Usually between $10 and $15 per entrée. I was able to pay by Google pay directly from the receipt.

We tried this spot since it was around the corner from our house, and the pancakes were great! A bit of crispiness would have been nice on the bacon, since it was a bit limp. The atmosphere and Nicole, our waitress, were great.

I will start by saying, 2 stars is being generous. Arrogant Manager. Wait staff are rude and not very attentive. Food was overpriced. Omelet was very small, hashrowns weren’t even cooked thoroughly. Toast was barely toasted and hardly any butter. What a waste of time and money. We won’t be going back.

Food was brought out cold. When the waitress came around to ask how it was, I had my mouth full and wasn’t able to answer. My wife answered and she left. When I finally got a chance to tell her, I was required to pay for the uneaten, cold food, because I didn’t speak up when she came around. Out of everything we ate, the garlic bacon was the best. There are definitely better places with much better service close by.

The food is amazing. I’m working my way down the menu. Have had the Footlong Breakfast Burrito, the Chicken Fried Steak, Avocado Toast and the Bacon Flight. Also tried the Morning Story Cocktail. All delicious. The food has a very fresh taste and the flavors work together really well. The owner is super nice and checked in on us and also helped served the order. The restaurant is new and still has some growing pains. Things like table cleaning, seating guests and getting extras for an order like an additional biscuit did prove to be wanting. But was quickly rectified when addressed. Overall you will not be disappointed and is a MUST TRY. We have decided this will be our go to Sunday breakfast place going forward. See you there!

I’m sorry I’ve had to update my rating…I’ve been back a few times since my first time and it’s had a completely different experience. The food is okay, but not cooked as well; and the service has been really bad. I completely understand it isn’t always a best day but we literally had to get up to go find someone to find out server two separate times and at the time it wasn’t busy.

Sorry to say, but I need to update my rating. I have been back several times and the service and food quality just aren’t the same. It is a shame because that first weekend this place rocked it. Since then I usually get over cooked eggs and slow service. Today there were only 3 other tables and it took over 30 minutes for over cooked eggs and cold ham. Highly unlikely that I will return.

Went in during the first days, and there were a few bumps and we thought we might not go back…but I’m glad we did.
