This is my favourite breakfast restaurant and my "go too" choice when craving a yummy brunch! I have ordered The Mess and the French Toast countless times. The food is great value with big sharable portions, consistently delicious, packed well, excellent quality and craveable flavours! Whenever I have requests such as no powdered sugar on the French Toast , extra crispy potatoes in The Mess or list allergies; they always follow to perfection!

Pancakes and French toast already come with side bacon and sausage, they don't mention that so I ordered extra bacon.. ended up with lots of bacon and paying so much more. Juice is not real! So disappointing! Coffee is super small :( potatoes don't have salt, tasteless...

My favourite meal from here is the Mess and have got it from both locations many times and always great but not today definitely got less bacon and some ham bits and sliced sausage it and lack of peppers in it the consistency definitely wasn't on my order , not to mention also didn't get a peanut butter packet or jam today was a fail

The food was good but there is definitely room for improvement. The eggs were a bit under cooked even for sunny side up. The yellow should be runny but the white part should be fully cooked not still transparent. Also the beans are just reg canned beans so the portion is really small for the price.

Caution: the online menu is lacking critical info - I hope The Basic can fix this issue. Although not mentioned nor shown in the photo, the Pancakes come topped with 2 sausages as well as 2 strips of bacon. There was no butter, jam or syrup included. The coffee was weak and watery. There are better diner-style breakfasts out there.
