Review of Jensen's Cafe

There are better options in the area. My wife and I went to Jensen's for the first time for breakfast. We both ordered Biscuits and Gravy... which, if its on the menu, we usually order when we go out for Sunday breakfast. 2 eggs, Biscuits and Gravy with Cafe Potatoes was the meal. Both my wife and I were very disappointed in the meal... a real let down. First... evidentially they are rationing Gravy at Jensens... both of our meals came with a big cakey biscuit cut in half with literally a tablespoon of gravy on top, barely enough cover one half. I have never witnessed a restaurant try to get away with so pewny a serving of gravy with this ubiquitous dish... it was almost laughable. Its especially disappointing considering the price of the meal... I have paid much less for far more. After tasting the Biscuits and Gravy I would consider it average at best. It wasn't bad... but not great. We finish our meals... I found the Egg portion a bit small for 2 eggs scrambled, my wife's portion of 2 eggs scrambled was almost double what I received... but whatever. When the waitress returned to clear our plates and found 3/4th of a big bare cakey biscuit uneaten on both our plates she asked if we wanted more gravy... as the lack of main dish ingredient was pretty obvious... but by that time the thought of sub-par gravy on a cold biscuit was not appealing. They had their chance. On a positive note... the Cafe Potatoes were good, the service was very good and the coffee was good. But the meal was a real disappointment, especially for the price. It would be the equivalent of ordering a pasta dish and getting a plate of noodles with a tablespoon of sauce on top... or a pepperoni pizza with 1 pepperoni on it. With all the foodie options in the Burnsville area... Jensen's is off my list.
