Ok food, Bad Experience

by kharm11 at Citysearch

My girl and I went for breakfast Saturday late morning. We placed our order with one waitress while 2 waiters alternated in taking care of us. I ordered the mexican scramble (chorizo and eggs with potatoes) my girl got an omelette. Our food took 30 mins at the least to get to us and its because they forgot to put in our order. I could see the cook making the meals and everyone getting served EXCEPT us. When I told one of our waiters he started to pipe up with an excuse but never finished and took off. He never returned to tell us the status of our order, instead the other waiter came up to us concerned and asked if everything was ok. We told him we hadnt gotten our food in over 30 mins he rushed to the cook and i could see the cook barely starting to whip up our order. It was done in no time but by that time I was so turned off on this place. I thought this place was going to be really good since they have been around for a while and had a citysearch sticker for Best Breakfast. Seriously people?? Im not super picky but they had basic items on their menu and they weren't that great for what u pay. I am officially labeling this place a tourist trap and warning you all to stay away and try something better like Joey's in weho or Hugo's. If you want simple breakfast items like they serve at Dukes ONLY done the right way for less you can get it at Norm's. That's saying a lot casuse I hate Norm's but I would have rather gone there at that point.

Oh and then to top it off, they gave us the wrong check! The waitress, yup same one that forgot to put in our order, comes over to tell us we are "so lucky" that the other couple got the wrong check cause we saved 3 dollars on sub par food. Thanks lady I feel bad for the other couple.

• Pros: Location on the strip
• Cons: Overpriced for the food you get

Still an attraction on the weekend

by nathanfish at Citysearch

weekday lunches are uncrowded, service is good and prices are great. I would recommend dressing on the side if you get the Chinese Chicken salad.

• Pros: large portions, decent prices
• Cons: can be crowded on weekends

Splurge a little and get better bacon

by crazijoe at Citysearch

I ate there for the first time because of all the hype about it. I really liked the eggs and the potatoes, but the coffee wasn't that great and the bacon was dry. I would probably go back living in the city but i'll bring my own bacon and coffee next time. Note: get center cut Oscar Meyer Bacon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

• Pros: see some famous people
• Cons: terrible bacon
