    Good breakfasts, but overpriced and usually a loooong wait on the weekend.

    Wonderful food ideas here. It all seems so delicious, however it kind of disappointed. I guess it's a must try for once. But I won't be coming back unless someone pays for me.

    Just tried the Nitro milk stout. 6% but has a bit of chocolate taste so takes any edge off. If you've stayed away from stouts because they're too bitter. This will coax you back.

    The meal portions are massive. The scrambled eggs are a bit on the bland side but the hot sauce helps
