We took a chance on this restaurant, being visitors to the area. We were pleasantly surprised! This establishment serves breakfast, brunch, and lunch. This means eggs, pancakes, waffles, skillets, as well as salads, soups, and sandwiches. The food was fresh and tasty, and the service was good. We were told we had a 10-15 minute wait at 11:30AM on a Sunday. We were seated in about 5 minutes and had our food in a reasonable amount of time. For an adult, expect to pay between $6 and $8 for your meal, not including drink. The kid's menu is $4.29 with the drink included. The atmosphere was casual yet nice, bathrooms were clean, and it was very kid friendly. If you order a sandwich, it comes with a small serving of their house potatoes - about 1 cup(imagine 1 inch rectangle shaped seasoned fries), a small serving of house salad - about 1 cup, and a small fruit cup - about 1/2 cup. My husband had the Italian wedding soup as part of their Daily Deli special- he said it was very tasty and did not have the greasiness that comes with poor quality Italian wedding soup. The rest of the special was a half sandwich and salad with a bowl of the soup. The Green Hamlet sandwich was really good too - ham, baby spinach, granny smith apple slices, and havarti cheese in a wheat tortilla wrap. For kids, there were turkey and cheese, ham and cheese, French toast (two thumbs up from one kid), and chocolate chip pancake (two thumbs up from other kid). Be aware - the pancakes here are really plate sized, roughly 8-11 inches diameter at its largest(oval shaped). They are also about 1/2 inch+ thick. Overall, great experience! We will return again!

Usually so good and fresh - but today ordered a Cobb Salad for takeout and it was awful!! Brown, see through wilted lettuce and just an appearance of being pre-made and OLD. Unfortunately, I couldn't take it back due to I only have 1/2 hr for lunch, so it went in the trash. Another associate just told me she will never return due to a really bad meal recently. She ordered the Beef Eater sandwich (which she always orders) and it came out with some other kind of "steak-um" meat - not roast beef. So sorry that they have lost our business, but someone really needs to let them know before it's too late!! )-:

Bland and over priced. Glorias country kitchen or Cortez Cafe are much better and cheaper.
