Short version: don t order the kids pancake meal. It s terrible and they don t know how to cook scrambled eggs. Hopefully service hasn t changed over the years.

Long version: I ve been coming here forever, I grew up in Whittier. I moved over an hour away and I wanted to enjoy lunch with my dad at a familiar place. I was actually having a great morning. I was happy to be seated outside with my pup, everything was going well. When we were served, I ordered a kids pancake meal. Everything comes with a juice or milk and I think a cookie. I had to ask for the milk, I was never offered, then when my daughter got her food the pancakes were paper thin, about a small circle size of a coffee cup and the eggs were scrambled but looked more like a burnt omelette cut in pieces, my daughter loves eggs and didn t want to eat them that day. They probably tasted the way they looked. I ordered the newporter. I use to love that sandwich and I love how they make the bread it kinda makes the sandwhich in my opinion. The first time they brought it out they were missing the avocado. Second time out the bread was cooked completely different, I was over it at that point. When I asked the server how come it was different, she said they do what they want in the kitchen. Um, ok.. I used to manage a restaurant and you shouldn t ever change what is listed unless mentioned by the server while ordering. Could be bad management because these things should get caught by food runners or waitresses before brought to the table. I wanted to enjoy my meal with my dad. Maybe it bothers me so much because I ve been in the business for so long and hold a high standard of places I eat. I feel kinda bad leaving a bad review but our server never really smiled and didn t check up on us, I probably tipped her more than she earned tbh. I had to walk inside eventually to get anyone s attention even though we were the only open table outside. I used to serve and manage so I m not being a complainer. I ve never complained about this place once actually. Overall it s clean and the food is usually great. I wish I would have taken a picture of my daughters food and if the bread being so different from the first time out, super disappointing I would imagine staff should be some of your best workers on a Friday. The man who sat us down was smiling, friendly, attentive and the host was nice as well. Well, I m sure I ll go back one day but not in a rush to return after my experience.
