"Our server Dakota was the highlight of the experience, letting my odd customizations slide. Food came out fast and fresh and hot. Loved every bit of it. Dakotas smile brightened the whole restaurant, we loved the atmosphere, felt homie"

"It's been a few years since I visited this location but the food has usually been good and so has the staff. This visit was disappointing in both aspects.
I asked for a breakfast sandwich. The menu said "brioche" bun. It was not. It was a cold hamburger bun. I tried to make the best of it, took a bite, and immediately asked if I could get my sandwich made with Texas toast. The server went to the back with my sandwich only AFTER she had me scrape my hash browns off the plate. She came back with my same sandwich filling because my bite mark was still there only now it was between 2 slices of.....TOAST.
I've eaten at more restaurants than I've served at but I have served in a restaurant at a management level. Her manager failed here. Or she didn't bother to say she understand and ask for help.
Huge disappointment, especially because since I could get a breakfast sandwich at a fast food spot that is exactly what it says on the menu for less that $10."

"Jeanette is awesome. She is always so friendly and professional. The atmosphere is more high end and comfortable since the remodel. Although I do miss the orange and decor. The tables are a nice size to fit the food and plates. The food is delicious and onion rings are crispy."
