"Seat yourself the sign said when you enter, so I did. It only took a moment for a server to come over and offer me a drink, which I recieved shortly after from a different server. I was not ready to order yet so she said she would give me a minute. Less than a minute later I put down my menu and awaited her return, I figured I would wait and see how long before she came back to check on me and after waiting another 6-7 minutes I made eye contact hoping she would see me and come over but it still took a further minute or two before she made it over to me. I didn't really bother ordering off the menu as I usually order the same breakfast wherever I go. After placing my order I was subtlety upsold on adding the American fries or hashbrowns, I didn't really want either but since I was being asked if hashbrowns were ok and I don't care for them I automatically went with the other option without thinking about it. Right after I noticed on the menu that adding either of those bumped my meal price up by an extra dollar, had I of known this I would have declined them, but no problem I was hungry. The food arrived quickly and the server was very polite. There was no salt on my table so I had to grab one from a neighboring table. They had a fully stocked jelly container though and the sugar looked full. Not far from me someone was requesting part of their food to be redone as it was not cooked correctly, but it was taken care of promptly to their satisfaction. My food arrived exactly as ordered without issue. Almost done with my meal but only half done with my drink and I was offered my free refill. I didn't really want a full refill anyway so I didn't mind, trying to cut back lol. The menu said you get one free refill not sure if that is true or not as I didn't get a second. Food was great, 4 nice sausages, 2 big sunny yolks and a heaped pile of the American fries as well as 2 pieces of toast. The toast was not super dry and not smothered and dripping in butter like I've seen at some places, just about the right amount. The soft drink was fizzy and full of flavor, not watered down tasting, over carbonated or overly syrupy. The place looked clean and tidy and not as busy as Google led me to believe it would be for the time of day but still a few people here. It was a quiet relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff and happy looking customers. The old regulars sitting at the counter and a few families and couples dotted about the place. They had a large selection of tasty looking desserts on display but I was already full by the time I was finished with my food. It took a while for someone to come over with my bill after I had finished eating, maybe 10 minutes or so, it's a very laid back and non-rushed experience here. The bill was fairly cheap and I was not rushed to pay and leave. I headed to the counter and was greated by another friendly member of staff, I paid and left a good 55% tip and off I went. A great place overall, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good breakfast, in a relaxed atmosphere, with friendly people, for a very reasonable price."

"This restaurant does not have a good reputation. While we were walking by, a homeless man approached us and mentioned that he was hungry. Given that it is the holy month of Ramadan, we wanted to do something good and help him out. Since this restaurant claims to be 100% halal, we believed the man would appreciate the meal. My husband ordered wings and a drink for him, but the employee taking our order kept glaring at the homeless man, fully aware that we were ordering for him. Despite our repeated requests for the wings and drink, the employee’s focus was solely on the homeless man to the point that he didn't get our order right and had to process it twice. He even questioned my husband's trustworthiness, implying that it was too late to change our decision since we had already paid. The employee went so far as to suggest that the homeless man would just throw away the food, which seemed unfair and unfounded. Why would the man do such a thing unless there was an issue with his order? We were simply trying to act kindly, but the behavior of this employee spoiled the moment. I hope that the homeless man received his meal, but the way the employee conducted himself was inappropriate and rude. I ended up advising the homeless man to eat elsewhere because of the unfriendly treatment he received. Overall, I would hesitate to recommend this business because of that experience."
