Excellent & varied breakfast selections (for vegetarians before 5pm only); very good coffee & service.
It's important to note that the menu changes at 5pm and it becomes *much* less vegetarian-friendly. With that in mind, it's an excellent choice for vegetarians if you arrive before 5pm and order "breakfast for lunch" (or merely breakfast for breakfast).
My husband and I thankfully arrived just before 5pm on our visit. Even though Foolish Craig's is apparently known for crepes, other items looked more enticing to us today. I ordered coffee (not the best I've ever had but it was very good) and the Mexicali Blues omelette. The omelette was great, with a very generous dollop of guacamole and flavorful salsa on top. I ordered mine with the cheesy grits on the side and they were good. I would have preferred just a touch more of a buttery taste but these were fine. The house-made strawberry jam was great too. My husband can't resist eggs benedict when he sees it on a menu so he's a bit of an expert on that dish. Foolish Craig's Eggs Benedict with spinach and tomato is in his "top 5" list. He ordered it with the house potatoes, which were richly seasoned and tasty, and not very oily.
We were very happy with our meals. We plan to go back, and although we really want to try a crepe, we enjoyed these dishes enough that it'll be hard to resist ordering them again.
Highly recommended if you like going out for breakfast (or breakfast for lunch).
