This place is a local
institution--it's been profiled several times in the neighborhood newspapers over the years. I stopped in for breakfast on a beautiful
Saturday morning. Breakfast is served on Friday-Sunday only, otherwise
it is lunch only. And it is not for early flyers--opens at 8am.
You order breakfast a la carte. Got a nice big
one--a pancake, sausage, eggs, and toast, with coffee and orange juice.
The pancake is of the large plate-covering variety--a pancake and
coffee would fill you up for breakfast and set you back about $5. The
pancake is the chewy variety--I like mine fluffy, but am told it is a
matter of preference. The rest of the breakfast was competently made,
nothing fancy but did the job. The coffee is Community coffee through a
drip machine--there wasn't any ready when I ordered, but the server
made it right away so I had it nice and fresh.
Overall I would
say it is like eating at a middle-class country club grill room.
Nothing fancy (order at the counter, condiments and silverware sitting
out for you to take, furniture is a bit shabby) and originally aimed at the
convenience of flyers, though now more business comes from the community--two families
with small children came while I was there.
The place is on the airport grounds, and the
entrance is inside Gill Aviation. There's a sign outside, but once you
get in it's not in sight and there are no signs. Bear left, then to the
right down the hall. Restrooms are just outside and were very clean
and ready, including a mouthwash dispenser. It's very reasonable, I
felt like I got what I paid for. Service was competent and
reasonably prompt. I would come again for lunch sometime.
