What People Are Saying
from Google"Huge concern regarding food safety practices at this location. During my first & only visit, I was seated where I had a clear view into the kitchen through two small side windows. I observed multiple food-handling issues, including staff not wearing hairnets. One cook had a very long, loose ponytail (waist-length) and, while visible through the window, removed and re-tied his hair in the food prep area. According to Texas Department of State Health Services guidelines, hands must be washed immediately after touching hair when handling food. Shortly after, my food arrived with a long black hair inside my avocado toast and sunny-side-up egg. I did not cause a scene, but I informed my waiter and requested the food to go, which I ultimately chose not to eat. What was most concerning was the lack of response from management. No “manager” came to speak with me; only another kitchen staff member asked if I wanted my food boxed. Later, my waiter asked if a manager had come to speak with me, which I then confirmed was supposed to be the person who asked me if I wanted my food to go. I am leaving this review so others can be aware and so this location can correct serious sanitation and food-safety practices."
"I have traveled the world the past 30 years and this place is the best diner I have eaten at. I had their kitchen sink omelet and their Belgian waffle (all made from scratch). They make their own bread (I loved the sourdough). My wife asked me to go here and we will definitely become a regular. Sherry was our server and she had the best attitude and she was very friendly. I would highly recommend eating here."
"This place is so delicious! Large portions and beautiful atmosphere. Very friendly service. They have a great combination of Mexican and American food to choose from."
"Stood waiting 10mins to be seated at the time it opened but the food was well prepared and the servers were nice. The music was too loud or maybe I was under a speaker. For early morning, the room was too cold. I had eggs benedict 2 ways, it was delicious 😋"
"Where to start !!! I have been coming here since 2017 and it was a gem, went back several times always good, clean and attentive staff, then Covid happened and it was hard for everyone. One thing needs to be said though, why do they think it’s ok to let the service go down followed with the cleanliness of the establishment, bathrooms dirty and broken down, menus full of kids crayon drawings and coffee/ food stains. And to add salt to the wound our waiter was awol. We have to be thankful to a different waitress that saw us sitting and asked if we have been helped. So she took over and after that it went much better. The food was ok even though the chicken was over fried, so it was, dark and dry. I hope that the owner of this establishment takes a good look and fixes all the things that are going downhill and maybe talk to the wait staff so nobody gets left behind . Thank you Marissa for helping us out."
