"We had lunch at Tito's yesterday, a Monday and a federal holiday, which meant that most of the other local places were closed. It also meant that there was a bit of a rush of customers and only one waitress on staff. Still, we were seated immediately (in a large, comfortable booth and the hostess brought our little one a coloring page and crayons (the triangular ones! We were then greeted immediately by our waitress, a lovely blonde woman with such a pleasant demeanor who got our drink order and took a moment to converse with the little one and make her feel relaxed and comfortable, and making us feel like family. The waitress went above and beyond. She addressed the little one by name and they exchanged little jokes, and she was so encouraging when my girl was trying to order her own meal. Honestly, we never noticed any delay and we looked forward to our encounters with this waitress whose visits felt more like fun than business. The waitress brought little one's food first which is very astute. You can probably guess that the drink was in a lidded container; also smart. And on top of all of this, our food was SO delicious! The bacon was perfectly crisp and the cinnamon bun pancakes... WOW! The cinnamon was cooked to this delicious crunchiness. Trust me, you do not need syrup! We had such a great time there that my whole family was just so relaxed. The little one actually ate all her food without any argument or prompting, and we all left completely happy despite the gray, drizzle-y day. We were the most joyful people in CP afterward and spent some time shopping and purchasing from local businesses, all because of the infectious joy of this absolutely lovely person and the great time we had at Tito's."

"This place has the vibe of a previous Western Sizzling, with an obsession with trains, specifically the 611. They serve Coke products, although the Coke is slightly 'watered down' in taste, served in small glasses. The servers while friendly and mostly attentive don't all wear the same uniform. Some wearing the 611 t-shirt, while others wearing plain clothes. Buffet bar includes a salad, vegetable, soup, taco, and dessert section with ice cream machine. Only meat on the buffet is the taco meat. Nothing special about the buffet selections, all seem to be Sysco supplied with a very commercial taste. The chili beans had dried out on top and looked like they could have been stirred up - not really something that they stay on top of to keep the bar appetizing. Soup selections included overly chunky vegetable soup, and potato soup. The potato soup was pretty bland even after adding bacon bits, chives, and cheese. Most items do not include the bar, but it can be added for around $3.50. We ordered steak and the cook temps were way off. I ordered medium rare and it came out medium; very medium and on the border of medium well. The cover the low quality of the meat with a salt seasoning that did make it taste a little better. When entering, there is a meat case with steaks in it; these are by far NOT the same steaks that will arrive to your table. Rolls to the table while your waiting, with the good honey butter. If they aren't busy your main food will be out before you can eat your salad. All in all not to expensive and you can get a good variety at a decent price. This is a nice family spot, not somewhere you would take a hot date trying to impress them."
