"This morning I treated myself to the Top One Big Breakfast. It won't be the last time either. It was perfectly cooked, and just the right balance of what was on the plate, with everything included. If you're thinking of trying any of their cooked breakfast options, don't hesitate, it was the best brekkie I have ever had."

"Very fast service we had the big breakfast classic pancakes and it’s great they don’t have the pre-made ones. A lot of options to choose from off the menu to cabinet food and pies. Would recommend to stop by."
