I was inspired to try a dish of Scrapple Eggs Benedict here after seeing a post the other morning by a member of a scrapple enthusiast Facebook group. He posted a great photo and it was making me hungry. Now this item is not on the regular menu, they only have the traditional Eggs Benedict version listed, but the nice lady taking our order didn’t blink an eye when I made my request. BTW, she indicated the place uses RAPA scrapple cooked on a flat top vs the deep fat method some places employ when in a rush.
My biggest problem with the results of all of this was that my dish was prepared some hours after the first review & photo I’d seen. That nice smooth sauce was a bit more chunky; something one doesn’t usually associate with a hollandaise. Also my dish was about as bland as it could be. It was like the kitchen had run out of lemon juice, white wine and/or vinegar; items needed to punch up the taste of the otherwise dull yellow chunky sauce. Heck, even a bit of salt n’ pepper would have done something for the that dish & the hash brown potato’s.
My wife had a steak n’ cheese omelette w/ hash browns and she too thought that it was all way too bland, even with onions.
I’m thinking/hoping that our experience was out of character as you will notice the place otherwise enjoys relatively good ratings. Perhaps your mileage might vary. Also you will see that when folks do have issues, managers respond to follow up on line. In my case, I had opportunity to speak with folks at checking out and they were truly interested in my feedback and wanted to address my concerns. I thus only offer this review to share the impressions of the product and how great the management folks are in customer retention skills; truly fantastic as the place has a huge menu, the service was good and I wanted to like & return here. Oh, BTW, coffee was good!

EDIT: So here is a non-location related thing. Months after posting this review, I got a love note from Google asking me to add captions describing the dish. Now for real, compared to 95% of most food posts that have nothing…why in the name of cheeses and crackers did the bots not figure out my photos have captions?

Be ware of chocolate chip charge! Food was fine and pre fixe for kids meal seemed great. Until… charge for chocolate chips in kids pancakes was more then 30% of the kids meal charge! That left a bitter taste in my mouth… pun intended

We have been coming to the area for years and finally stopped here to eat. It was so good, we are here twice in 5 days! These are hands down the best home fries we have ever had, everything was made perfectly to order, and the poached eggs were done just right. We will be visiting every time we are in the area. Thank you for an amazing experience!
