I ordered the Crispy Breakfast Potatoes and got French fries with an omlette

Burger was cooked well done and was tasty even during graveyard hours.

The bacon is fantastic—definitely real bacon, unlike the strange imitation ones from McDonald's. The steak tips were a bit tough; they would have been better cooked medium instead of well-done, but I understand the need to prioritize food safety. All the sides were great: toast, mac and cheese, eggs, mashed potatoes, broccoli, and hash browns. The sausage didn't sit well with my stomach for some reason. The pancakes were tasty, but my son wasn’t a fan of the banana pancakes because of the brown chunks, possibly due to cooking or overripe bananas. I'm still regretting that cheese blob I shouldn’t have eaten—maybe the bacon will help settle my stomach!

We visited the restaurant after attending a funeral, and it really brought us together. The service was excellent, creating a warm, family-like atmosphere. Since we live in Baltimore, I’m not sure when we'll be able to return, but I highly recommend this place.

Her omelets are enormous! I ordered a vegetarian one, and it was stuffed with mushrooms and plenty of other vegetables. I couldn't even finish it because it was so large! It’s fantastic value for the price, and the service was great, even during the early hours. I’m giving it four stars instead of five because the place looks a bit worn and could really benefit from a deep clean and some updates.
