    My husband and I have been here on several occassions, whether individually w our friends and coworkers, or together. This morning was busy before church but the staff was as calm and frindly as usual, and the food was delicious! They have the fluffiest omelets, and everything came out so quickly.

    So my bill came out to be $39 and change for a Belgian waffle and a omelette with sausage and bacon in it. I was charged $4 for sausage and $4 for bacon which is full price for a side and it was hardly 1 full sausage patty and 1 strip of not full cooked bacon…i will never eat here again.
