The Crunch French Toast with nutella, bananas and Cinnamon Toast Crunch was incredible, perfectly crispy with a rich coffee-style drizzle that took the Crunch French Toast to the next level. I also had eggs with chicken sausage, home-fried potatoes, and Cuban toast, all nicely seasoned and served hot. The coffee was smooth with a good flavor, perfect to go with the meal. The vibe is cozy, the staff is friendly and fast, and it’s definitely a place I’ll be coming back to and highly recommend.
Place was pretty crowded, it was most likely just the day and time being a popular time for breakfast but the tables outside were very empty so we sat outside there, inside and outside looked nice and neat and we very quickly got waited. We got the blueberry pancakes and the banana French toast, I didn’t actually try the blueberry pancakes but they thought it was really good. And I think my French toast was phenomenal as well, good consistency, measures, all that. I also got loaded grits as a side which had green onion, cheese, and a lot of bacon. Really my only gripe, too much bacon. Waiters were fast and nice, welcoming and suggestive. I really enjoyed my time here.
We did start digging in a bit before we ate so Oopsie
When we arrived host was very friendly.
Waitress Jenie was kind and, helpful with the menu. She was prompt bringing out our order. Her timing was on point checking on us. During our first visit I felt like very welcomed. Our meal was exceptional. Hot fresh and perfectly seasoned. Kyle came to our table to check how our meal was. We chatted a moment. His personality was very sincere professional and kind. My husband and I go out quite a bit and Himes is a restaurant we will definitely be returning too. I’ve let my family know of our experience and awesome choices such delicious food. I love everything about your vision. Your awesome and amazing. Props to you cooks!
Thank you kindly.
I’m certain this place performs better as it was obviously popular, but today was not our day. We’ll stick to McDonald’s on the remainder of our trip.
For the not-so-good: First and foremost, their menu states that the waffle in the chicken and waffles is a Belgian waffle, and it is not. It’s a liege waffle, which, in my opinion, is a more “elevated” waffle anyway, but it should not state that it’s one thing and be served as another. Especially as the type of waffle changes the dish completely. Liege waffles are almost like a sugar cookie/waffle cross, with thick dough made using large sugar crystals. So, a super sweet and dense waffle vs. the larger, fluffier, and less sweet Belgian (or Brussels, really) waffle. Not a huge issue, just state the correct waffle on the menu, ya know? Also, I looked around at some other plates and believe that all the waffles on their menu are served as liege waffles, but labeled as Belgian waffles. So that’s interesting.
The sides were all fine, but not great. The fried green tomatoes had too much batter and too thin slices on the tomatoes themselves. $4 for 3 tomatoes also seems pretty steep to me, especially for very thin slices with mostly batter.
The biscuit and gravy were also fine, gravy definitely tasted like a mix vs homemade, and the biscuits were on the thinner side and stuck to your mouth instead of being light and fluffy.
The pancake, I’m so sorry, was abysmal. Maybe just caught them on a bad day because the other review photos of the pancakes looked nice (this was actually the whole reason we chose this restaurant in the first place), but the pancakes were almost crepe-thin. Not fluffy, very eggy, and super flat.
Their “heirloom tomatoes” are absolutely not heirloom tomatoes. Another menu issue.
Overall, I think this place is good, but they could be great if they were honest/clear on their menu vs the actual food items you’re served and if they put a bit more effort and intention into the cooking and preparation of every single dish, not just the mains.
The service was excellent and the atmosphere was nice.
