• large group brunch

  I can't express how great our experience was here. They were able to accommodate reservation for a large group just a couple of days in advance. Our table was ready when we arrived and the service was amazing. The food came out quickly and I can confirm that the pancakes are TO DIE FOR. Slightly crisp outside, cakes inside...paired with dark maple butter. It really can't get better than this.

• group brunch, party of 8

  Jessica was absolutely amazing. For a group of 8 basically splitting up into 4’s and with accommodating us even after showing a little late. We’re from Houston and don’t have many places like this so this is a must. And the good thing about this place is that it’s halal as well so we had more options to choose from. This place definitely is a try :))

• group brunch, party of 8

  It was crowded. The line was ontonthe sidewalk. We were a party of 8 and we had to wait an hour and a half outside in the cold. I had the country breakfast which consisted of 3 eggs, ham, hash browns and a biscuit. I think quality was sacrificed for quantity. The biscuit was doughy and the ham was hard to cut with the knife. The hot chocolate was served in a huge cup with whipped cream and grated chocolate and that was not sweet - certainly not what I had expected. 2 positives - the servers aim to please and the all-gender rest room was very clean

• group brunch, party of 6

  Hello bad service! Not worth waiting 75 minutes. Food is good but we’ve got put down by the server’s unfriendly attitude regardless of charging a mandatory tip of 20% since we were a party of more than 5. Funny enough that we informed our waiter that we didn’t like our french toast and to cancel the second order we have of it. He bluntly disregarded our request and served it. Overall, not recommended as it is good as any other good quality brunch spot.

• group dinner, party of 9

  We've been here years ago for breakfast and it was a cozy tasty meal. We went here recently for dinner with a group because there were no other places nearby that would take nine of us. We were happily surprised that dinner was great. I highly recommend this place for groups when you don't want to go to a diner. You can even have the pancakes for dessert and they are as good as you've heard. That was the plan for us, but when we saw the dessert called the Blondie come out that was it we enjoyed that instead of pancakes and said we're coming back. Salmon burger took the prize at $16.
