The Dishes
The reviewer starts with a classic breakfast plate featuring home fries that stand out for their thickness and perfect seasoning. The potatoes are soft yet flavorful, and paired with quality ketchup that rivals commercial brands. The eggs are a highlight, arriving already seasoned with salt and pepper, allowing the natural flavor to shine through. They are prepared light, fluffy, and well-seasoned exactly to the reviewer's preference. The applewood smoked bacon delivers a crispy texture without being overly sweet, making it a perfect companion to the eggs.
For beverages, the half lemonade and half iced tea combination proves to be a revelation. The homemade preparation of both components is evident through the tartness of the freshly squeezed lemonade balanced perfectly with the tea, creating what the reviewer describes as a sun joy type of drink. The star of the visit is undoubtedly the French toast, which apparently is famous at this establishment. The egg coating is prepared properly and whipped thoroughly to ensure it adheres perfectly to the bread. Generous amounts of cinnamon provide a deep, exuberant flavor, and the preparation on the grill creates a light crisp exterior while maintaining a properly cooked interior.
