musts:
you must-
1. sit at the counter (not bar, soda fountain counter) order a coke. best coke you'll ever have
2. order bfast (my fav) anytime any day
3. order one of these-potato pancakes, french toast, corned beef n hash, a joes scramble, cali benedict, biscuit, or a piece of pie. pies made daily and are fab.
4. forlunchmy fav is the kentucky club
5. expect a guaranteed wait on weekends between early morning-2 and some weekdays (refer to #1)
something about the coke from the soda fountain is special and different then other places. ryan the owner is great, makes a reg appearance and remembers us by name. the staff is attentive, timely, and efficient. there have been a couple bad service visits but everyone is allowed to have a bad day and i avoid that persons section. not an issue though. it's cost efficient enough that we go weekly. out of town visitors look forward to bfast here and make a point of getting it.
tammy is the manager and offers great support to her staff. katie, sara (aka deazy), thomas, and kat, are our regs and been there for a long time.
it's the first and only bfast choice in our house. weekday or weekend, you'll see us there bellied up to the soda fountain counter. best seat in the house. there's never (seriously never) a wait to sit at the counter, you get fast service, and it's entertaining. watching the dynamic of the wait staff, teamwork, and the voice of the cook coming from the back when orders are ready, makes each visit unique. if you have never sat at a counter, do it and here especially. i have many options for bfast here... this is the fav.
