We were seated after waiting about 15 minutes. There was shade under the porch roof and umbrellas outside which made the heat bearable. The cool breeze helped us to maintain our cool.
When we were called to go in, we found our booth to be just large enough to seat all of us with one person in a chair at the end. The only problem with the booth was that it was just inside the front door where EVERYONE entered. We could tell right away this was not a good idea. There was so much noise we could barely hear ourselves talk.
A waiter came over and asked for coffee orders. He was not very clear nor did he act like he wanted to really be there since he stood at one end of the booth leaning in. All of us chimed in with our orders which added to the confusion when he said he wanted only coffee orders. Finally, all of us got our beverages and a waitress came over to get our order.
I ordered a short stack of Blueberry Pancakes with Ham. The children ordered their Waffles and Sausages. The food was pretty good, but the atmosphere was one of a Cattle Shoot with several waitresses coming over to make sure we had finished eating so they could remove the plates, cups, and glasses. I understand their need to make sure the table turnover time was short, but they made it quite obvious.
Overall, they deserve 3 and 1/2 plates.
