The food was very good and i like the large portions. My one issue was the service. At the beginning our server was quick and attentive. Once they gave us our drinks and took our food order we were pretty much never interacted with again. Once another table sat down the server paid attention only to them because they were downing drinks and ordering lots of rounds. I understand wanting to follow the money, but i do wish they paid a little more attention. When our food came out (ran by food runners not the waiter) the server never came around to make sure everything was okay, and not once offered to get us another rounds once our drinks were polished off. They missed out on some money and more in tips since they never followed up on our table. Had to flag them down just to get the check- and mind you this was at 5pm so not by any means as busy as this place gets each weekend.

Had a high chair for us and were so sweet. Toddlers tend to be messy so even with a little mess they were still kind and polite! We got the breakfast bowl, chicken and waffles, and chicken pesto pizza. All were delicious! Along with bottomless mimosas and and the boozy iced coffee... SO GOOD! Came with a fresh Do Rite Donut. Overall super fun place, child friendly in the earlier hours of the day and friendly fast service. One of our fav places to take friends!
