A tourist trap in the making?
Saturday, September 28, 2002
Yuck! Awful service, and plain, unappetizing dishes.
I'm a local (for 4 years now), so I just had to try this popular breakfast spot. The only thing that stopped me before was the huge tourist filled lines. With the long lines, I figured, "It's gotta be good, right?"
Wrong. I tried it twice. The last time I ordered their "World Famous French Toast." I asked for sliced banana on it and cinnamon. The waitress came out with a bowl of banana slices and no cinnamon. "Sorry sir, the french toast only comes with strawberry preserves." And those preserves were truly disgusting (pale, pink strawberries in sugar water). Not to mention the tasteless French Toast.
The whole experience was awful. And I'm not even going to get into the dirty mugs, and old coffee cream that we had to ask to be replaced.
Pros: cheap
Cons: bad service, bad food, long lines
