    The food came out very quickly and was SO good. It's a bit pricey for what it is but I'll be back nonetheless. Substituted the roll with sourdough for the chicken pesto and it was so yummy!

    I decided to have breakfast here to kill time since it was close to an appointment I had... I really wasn't sure what to expect, the menu is big and they have a lot of options, however I wasn't impressed... I ordered the huevos rancheros, they came with a side of potatoes... the presentation was good but the flavor was lacking. The tortilla at the bottom wasn't completely warmed up or cooked, on top of that were black beans (I'm a huge fan of black beans that's what I grew up eating) these were pretty tasteless, it's like they just forgot to season everything.. on top of the beans there was cheese and eggs (I asked for over medium, but they came over easy) and they were topped off with salsa and avocado.. the avocado was the best part of the dish. I had coffee, which was strong , no other creamer options except half & half. The staff wasn't super friendly, but they weren't rude either... at no point while I ate did they come to ask if I needed anything or if the food was ok... I wouldn't return to eat here, I'm sure they have other dishes which may be better but based on my first experience there I wouldn't go back.

    Long time enjoyer of this establishment. The quality has remained consistently above bar. The staff is always pleasant and very helpful. It gets busy in the morning, easier to get in after noon. I had the breakfast burrito wet on this visit. Amazing food.

    This place is awesome -- randomly decided to check it out because I was waiting on my tire getting fixed next door. The guy at the front was immediately welcoming and helpful when I asked him for recommendations. He pointed me to the daily special smash burger and it was delicious. Really chill atmosphere with some fun country rock playing. Stayed pretty much the whole time I was waiting. Definitely check it out!
