For $44 without tip, we had the cheesesteak sub with chips (fries would be a $4 upcharge, which is expensive), Henlopen omelet, cheese omelet, one coffee and one soft drink. The tater tots were delicious, and the eggs were so good. A tall, African American gentleman brought our food out and he was very nice. Our server, Dalton Z., was excellent and very nice. He checked on us often and made sure we had everything we needed.
The restaurant atmosphere was confusing because we stood in the entryway for a few minutes, waiting to be seated, until another customer who was waiting for his food informed us that it’s a “seat yourself” establishment. Another gentleman was standing in front of a sign that stated this so we had no idea, but staff walking around never mentioned anything, which would have been appreciated. I didn’t want to remove stars from “Service” since Dalton was excellent so I gave “Atmosphere” 3 stars.
There were no seats available indoors, so we sat outside and unfortunately, nobody came out for ten minutes. I think the restaurant could benefit from a host/hostess system because we almost left but thankfully Dalton greeted us and he was so friendly that we decided to stay.
The restaurant doesn’t have dedicated parking and it gets busy in the area, so prepare to potentially walk a bit on evenings and weekends. The restaurant inside is cramped and not wheelchair or stroller accessible.
That said, it’s a cute spot in a really charming area with quaint shops around. I’d be open to giving it another try, and if I do, I’ll update this review.
I must make a call out to the staff and service manager which is always no matter the day has been the most pleasant and personable experience.
The atmosphere is small with limited seating and parking during lunch and dinner time can be difficult. 3 TVs playing Bob Ross and sports.
Pro tip, try the special of the day coffee or food. A coffeeholic myself was surprised at the smooth and rich tastes offered.
I placed a phone order for an almost $17 veggie burger 15 minutes before arriving. When I got there, Madeline charged my card and said it was still being worked on and should be out “any minute”. I waited another 15 minutes while nine months pregnant, watching other customers pick up their food and leave, while mine never came.
No one checked with the kitchen until I complained. Only then was I told they never even received a ticket for my order. I was charged for food that was never made, and they couldn’t even process a refund on the spot.
This place clearly has serious issues with communication and basic customer care…. especially toward a pregnant customer!!!!
