If you're interested in having a heart attack, check it out. And yes, I gave them feedback before I left. For the area they're located, they should be serving higher quality food and offer some healthier choices. Good luck finding vegetables on the menu. And no, potato is not a vegetable. More

We ordered pancakes with eggs and sausage and a biscuit. It was enough for 2 because the pancakes are big and yummy. Bring a friend or a big appetite! More

Food is okay, prices are average, service is good. Wait can be long depending on which location you go to. Overall, the food is just okay. Could probably cook better at home. More

In the heart of the Gas Lamp District, this little dinner can be missed if you are not looking for it. I ordered a special omlette and it came just as I wanted. Great quality food at an affordable price. More
