"I’ve lived in the area for over 30 years. This is the first time I’ve been to this restaurant. Overall, the food was good and environment seemed to be pleasant. A lot of Elvis based nostalgia on the walls giving it a retro vibe. My main concern was the lack of attentiveness to refill my coffee, water, or to see if I needed anything else. The place was pretty empty when I arrived around 1230pm. I don’t wanna call it rude, but it seemed like the server was indifferent even though I told third it’s my first time there. I did leave a decent tip, but I usually tip at 50% for good service (not this time). When the transaction was completed there was no thank you for coming, come again, or goodbye. They just rushed off. Summary: Good food and OK service. The prices are little higher compared to other breakfast places in the greater area, but not so bad. I would comeback again if invited, but I would probably choose other options if given the choice. Not the greatest, but not really enough to overturn a 4 star rating. Low end 4 star, but a 4 star nonetheless. Just sayin"
