"One of the highlights of this restaurant is undoubtedly their breakfast meats. The bacon is some of the best I've ever had, and the sausage patties are fresh, boasting excellent texture and flavor. I was also pleasantly surprised by the hot link, which added a nice kick to my meal. Their fresh orange juice is another standout—absolutely delicious! My wife and son are particularly fond of the pancakes, and during our last visit, my wife tried the stuffed blackberry "French toast." This unique dish features a bear claw pastry filled with blackberries and prepared in the traditional French toast style, and she had nothing but praise for it. However, there are some drawbacks. The biscuits, which the diner takes pride in, tend to be quite dry and really require a generous serving of gravy to enjoy them. Even then, you’ll need a drink to help wash them down. Each time I've visited, I've had to ask for butter for my biscuits or toast, which I found unusual since it wasn't provided with the meal. When I finally received the butter, the toast and biscuits were never hot enough to melt it. Then there's the issue with the hash browns. On one occasion, mine were excessively crispy, while my wife's were undercooked and lacked color, leading her to request that they be cooked a bit longer. She was hesitant to do so, as she didn’t want to inconvenience the staff. If I come back, I would definitely choose the "country potatoes," which appeared to be a better option than the hash browns. The biggest downside for me has been the vegetables in the breakfast dishes. The onions and green peppers often taste raw and unappealing, as they could use more cooking. Overall, while there are some standout dishes and several strengths, there are also significant areas that could use improvement."

"I always visit this restaurant, but today after work, I encountered a rude lady. I ordered a half dozen donuts, specifying the types twice. She asked if my order was for 8 donuts, to which I explained that I wanted 1 twist glaze, 2 original ring glaze, 1 raspberry filling, 1 apple filling, and 1 chocolate glaze, totaling 6. She suggested removing some, so I confirmed that I wanted 6. In the end, she only gave me 3 donuts. It was frustrating to have to explain myself multiple times to her."

"Ordered the Combination Pho Lychee Tea: The broth taste really good and honestly could be eaten plain. There was a good amount of meat to noodles ratio. This is one of the better Vietnamese restaurants I’ve been to in Arizona. My only critique would be the warm broth, it’s more of a personal preference. The lychee tea is good, there’s a lot of lychee flavor and less of a tea flavor so it’s up to personal preference! The waiter is very friendly and quick with the service! I really enjoyed the fact that he didn’t check up on us as much as other waiters! They have a very good menu with a variety of items that truly capture the normal cuisine in Vietnam! I will definitely come back and try other dishes!"

"First time inside. My daughter and I were just looking around. We decided to buy some Ranchero meat for tomorrow night. We also bought some beans and salsa. The service was great getting the 2lb of beef. And the girl at the register is super nice. We had a great experience and will be back."

"Great food and wonderful service. I ordered the Lamb chops with Kabab Combo and it was beyond my expectations. Their falafels are freshly made, perfectly crispy on the outside served with Tziki sauce. The Staff is very Friendly and professional. The service, definitely deserves 5 stars. If they make a mistake, they will happily correct it. It’s important to them for everything to be perfect. I’d definitely Recommend this place for everyone!!!"
