Every McMenamins affiliated restaurant has sub par service, but the last time I went to the Black Rabbit it was horrendous. When my girlfriend and I first arrived they said ""we are booked it will take 20 minutes... however it could take less."" We waited for an hour. (we almost left at 40 minutes but were told we were next) Then when we were let into the restaurant they only had 8-10 tables they were waiting on. There were 3 or 4 waitress' for those 8-10 tables and they were still slow. Our waitress was friendly but getting a refill of coffee or water was like pulling teeth. \r
The breakfast food is good and I'd suggest the crunchy french toast if you don't mind something a little sweet for breakfast. If you enjoy a little garlic they also have good red potatoes. If your looking for relatively good price and food then the breakfast is worth it. However don't expect good service and your food might be cold when you get it which has happened a number of times prior. However I rarely ask to have them warm it up because of how poor their service is. I might go back because the atmosphere and food I enjoy but if their service doesn't improve I'll never eat their again.
Pros: Breakfast is good. crunchy french toast, roasted red potatoes, atmosphere and decorations I enjoy
Cons: Service is often sub par, has recently been awful! Sometimes food is barely warm when it arrives and its darn near impossible to get a coffee or water refill
