    Last time here, I saw someone eating the Huevos Rancheros.... I vowed to try them... I did, and they were delicious!

    Food is still great, but what has truly set this place apart and kept me coming back, has been the service. These kids in here are great. Especially Jessica. Very polite and attentive young lady!

    Kind of redundant to continually rate this place since I'm in here at least once a week. However, I must say I that since this place opened, the quality of food and service has never changed and remained excellent! Sit at the counter if you have a chance

    You would think that after a couple of years, this place would get stagnant...but NO...Same great service and food since my first trip here. Obviously, they do well by their employees because there's not a whole lot of turnover. There are plenty of brunch places opening up locally, and being the foodie I am, I'll try them all. However, when I want to eat breakfast HOME, this is where I go

    A decent diner.  Typical diner food, good prices, and our server was very pleasant.  No standout dishes, though the corned beef hash was very tasty.

    Came to eat here for some breakfast on my way back home with my husband from ocean city Maryland. We usually go to the one located on 202 concord pike. We didn't think much of it by stopping here in hopes that everything will possibly be the same or maybe near the same ... including service. Unfortunately that was not the case. We waited literally over 30 mins for our food to be served and that was ONLY because I attempted to say something to our waitress Rachel (trying to call her attention) to ask her in regards to our order. Anyhow she then served us our order and said "sorry I forgot". Our food was warm/cool. Home fries were cold and burnt. People who were seated after us were eating and us still eating for our order. Never once did Rachel came back to refill our drinks or asked us if we needed or wanted to order anything. Sadly I will not come here again, which I live in the pike creek area and this location is more convenient for us. But food plus service sucks. I rather drive to 202 and wait for some good service and warm food. Then we had to wait another 20 mins for our check after her picking up plates knowing we were done and waiting for check. Our change took around 15 mins. This was bad service.
    Sad to even write a review....

    Best strawberry butter on the planet! Can't go here without asking for it. Chicken and waffles are to die for.

    Decided to stop by this place on a Tuesday before an oil change and it was the best idea. we were seated right away, around 9:30 am, and within the next 20-30 min the place was packed(on a weekday!!!). our server was really nice, made us feel at home like we were "regulars" and got us water and coffees right away. i ordered a board special and the mr got a meat lovers omelette.

    Holy cow!!! Monte cristo!!! Whole thing battered (bettered) & deep fried! Raspberry jam with it was amazing!!!!! Who thought of this!?!? Who!?!?! I don't know whether to hit them or hug them! Soooo not for the health conscious but very good. Maybe a dish for sharing?  This time the mr got a mushroom bacon burger, was good nothing as crazy as mine though.  
    Service this time was a bit slower, but it was a bit busier.

    We live in north Wilmington but will make the trips back here for food! I believe one might be opening near me soon. I cannot wait to try their famous fried chicken and waffle!!!!!
