Very cute restaurant with a huge menu and good food!! Sat outside on a sunny day. Great service too!!
HUGE portions and great prices! The outdoor patio area is beautiful and vibrant and dog-friendly. There are large picnic tables for groups as well. The service is on another level--they were so kind and quick with our orders and very patient with my modification requests! Amazing place (and amazing fries).
Came here with a group of three and we were promptly seated. The food came out very quickly and in large portions, definitely worth the money. I ordered a smoothie and they used fresh fruit in it, so the texture was a bit different from what I initially anticipated since I expected them to use frozen fruit (gummier and not as sorbet-like). It was really good though, I downed the entire thing. As for my order, I chose a club sandwich with sweet potato waffle fries. It was BIG. I could barely fit the entire thing in my hand. We ended up taking a lot of it as leftovers. The bread was well toasted and the veggies were super fresh. They use real turkey in this, not sliced deli meat!! Such a great order, a classic but a goodie. My friends ordered the salmon benedict with fresh fruit (at an additional charge) and the blackstone eggs benedict with breakfast potatoes. They both were very happy with their orders!
This place is still great. It's one of my favorite restaurants in Marin County. Miguel knows how to run a business. He really pays attention to every detail of running a restaurant. I like to order dishes that I wouldn't typically make for myself so I will usually get a benedict. This time, I ordered the Daddy Scram which is a scramble with ham, bacon, sausage, onions, peppers and cheddar. I try to stay away from carbs but I can't resist ordering on of the cinnamon roll pancakes. So good. I will be back.
Came here on a Saturday around 11am with a group of 7, got seated within 10mins. Service was friendly and they gave us recommendations, all were amazing. I got the 5 hour Robert's Corned Beef Hash with the homemade biscuit and it was amazing. Definitely recommend trying that homemade biscuit, truly one of a kind. Also, the cinnamon roll pancakes were yummy, didn't even need to eat it with syrup. This place has a nice indoor and outdoor seating area, a little cramped inside but not uncomfortable.
