- foodI had the pleasure of dining here with a friend this morning, and I can truly say that Eats deserves its lofty reputation. The food here is magnificent; it is delicious and exudes a mouth-watering aroma. The portions are large but not overwhelming.
- potatoesMy experience at this restaurant was excellent, particularly for breakfast. I enjoyed the perfectly seasoned potatoes, fluffy eggs, and soft fluffy pancakes. The chicken sandwich was a pleasant surprise, being larger than expected and well worth the price.
- breakfastThe owner, Simon, was incredibly friendly and helpful. I had one of the best biscuits and gravy I’ve ever tasted, and the rest of the food was also among the best breakfast in the city. I’ve found my new favorite restaurant!
- fried chicken sandwichMy experience at this diner was absolutely fantastic! I was blown away by the incredible atmosphere and the scrumptious fried chicken sandwich. The place is spotlessly clean, creating a welcoming vibe from the moment you step in.
- eggsI expected to spend around $45 for two breakfast plates and two coffees, and the amount of food was really generous. The brioche, served with hollandaise sauce, spinach, and mushrooms, was wonderful, featuring a slight lemon kick and perfectly cooked eggs. The potatoes with rosemary were also tops.
- fried egg sandwichThe new fried egg sandwich is a much worse experience than the old breakfast sandwich. While it looks pretty and tastes good, everything was so wet and slippery that with one bite, the sandwich completely fell apart, with yolks going everywhere. I really miss the old simple scramble breakfast sandwich; it was one of the best in the city.
- FoodFood:5
- chicken sandwichchicken sandwich, which was huge and really good
- fried potatoesI will definitely be returning! I highly recommend the avocado toast, fried potatoes, and the chickpea curry soup.
- pancakesMy experience at this restaurant was excellent, particularly for breakfast. I enjoyed the perfectly seasoned potatoes, fluffy eggs, and soft fluffy pancakes. The chicken sandwich was a pleasant surprise, being larger than expected and well worth the price.

- menuThe new owners overhauled the menu too much imo - to a fault
- portion sizeHowever, the food was far from deserving a 3-star rating. Both our meals were served in a cupboard with very small portions. The potatoes, waffles, and bacon were all rough, cold, and stale, suggesting they were frozen and reheated.
- potatoespotatoes it came with were just little irregular fried bits of potato
- waffleThe customer service was amazing, but the breakfast suite felt like a motor inn with cardboard beds. While the portion size was larger than expected, my waffle was soooo cold, tough & flavorless, like it was frozen then microwaved. This was surprising as we arrived at 9 am and waited only 10 minutes, expecting everything to be hot and fresh.
- chicken and wafflesThey also no longer have chicken and waffles
- coffeea 5 dollar coffee had somehow turned into 3 oz of foam
- eggsEggs were a little undercooked, so much so that the yolks were cold
- food qualityfood quality has severely decreased
If youre looking for a spot with generally delicious and well-crafted food, especially for breakfast and brunch, its definitely worth a try. Just be aware that a few dishes might occasionally miss the mark on seasoning or temperature, but overall, it's a good bet.
Service (6.2 out of 10)

- serviceMy experience at this restaurant was that of a no nonsense breakfast place. The service was efficient; you order at the window and then take your food to your table. The food tasted great, with my Huevos Rancheros featuring perfectly crunchy tortillas.

Frequently criticized
- serviceThe pancakes & waffles were a level or two above IHOP, and the breakfast selections were both creative and tasty. However, be prepared to wait a while here, especially on a weekend, as the service is slow. Despite the slow service, the food is very good.
- waiting timeMy delivery person arrived 10 minutes before the app indicated the food would be ready. After waiting for more than 40 minutes, the cashier informed my delivery person that the food was NOT being prepared and they were about to start the order, asking if they could wait an additional 20 minutes. This is unacceptable and shows a complete lack of respect, not only for me but also for the delivery person who had to wait over 50 minutes.
- orderI ordered through Grubhub, and my order was completely ignored by the restaurant! My delivery person arrived 10 minutes before the app indicated the food would be ready.
- waitBe ready to wait in line on weekends
- COVID protocolstaking advantage of Covid protocols
- accountabilityserving subpar food with zero accountability

- attentivenessbeing attentive to the needs of customers
- bad serviceThis bad service led us to leave
- bring the cardDefinitely coming back again! The only 2 things would be they take so long to bring the check, and then the card (because they are busy). If you decide to eat inside the restaurant, it could be a little bit loud for an overstimulated person; in that case, I would recommend eating outside.
If youre looking for a place with genuinely friendly staff and often quick food delivery, youll likely find something to appreciate here. Just be prepared for the possibility of longer waits and a less traditional, more self-service ordering approach that might not suit everyone.

- priceyThe hollandaise sauce was just okay, and I doubt it was freshly made. While the food was generally good, it was really pricey. The coffee was barely passable, and the lack of cream, with no option to add it yourself, was a notable issue.
- breakfastWe waited the whole meal to receive coffees that were ordered with our food. To make matters worse, we ended up clearing our own dishes, which was unexpected for a $50 breakfast. When we asked for to-go cups for our drinks, which were initially served in mugs, it took an astonishing seven minutes.

If you're looking for a budget-friendly meal, this might not be your top pick, as many find the prices steep for what you get. However, some do feel the quality justifies the cost. Go in with realistic expectations about the bill.

Eats: Best Food, Vibes, and People!
My experience at Eats was absolutely fantastic! I dropped what I was doing to go, and it was worth it. The food was the best, with the fluffy pancakes and loaded potatoes being standout dishes.
You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The vibes were also top-notch, contributing to an overall great atmosphere. The people there were wonderful, making the experience even better.

Delicious Gluten-Free Brunch with Minor Hiccups
I can’t explain how I loved to have brunch here. The principal reason is because I was able to eat delicious food and also healthy. I ordered scrambled eggs with salad (you could also choose potatoes) and added ALMOND FLOUR PANCAKES!
So if you eat GLUTEN FREE this is your spot! From the kids menu, we ordered “Fluffy pancakes” – they were really fluffy! Everything was tasty and you could tell they use really good ingredients.
Definitely coming back again! The only 2 things would be they take so long to bring the check, and then the card (because they are busy). If you decide to eat inside the restaurant, it could be a little bit loud for an overstimulated person; in that case, I would recommend eating outside.
The service was good overall.

Terrible Service, Long Wait
My experience at this restaurant was the worse experience ever. The waiter completely ignored us. It was only when two young girls walked in that he quickly took their orders.
He eventually came to check on us after we had waited over 45 minutes. The young girls, who ordered at the same time as us, received their food within 10 minutes, while we were still waiting. He never checked on us during this time.
When he finally approached, he asked if we were waiting for our food, claiming he had ordered it 20 minutes prior, yet the other table had been eating for over 20 minutes by then.
