While the atmosphere here is excellent, it’s second to the food. The breakfast food is the main attraction here, that’s if you can call chicken and waffles breakfast food. Their breakfast potatoes are another great choice. They’re exactly what a breakfast potato should be: crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. And first timers, be sure to try the pear pizza. You’ve never had anything like it!
