The meatloaf was delicious and flavorful, as were the garlicky veggies and mash potatoes. This place is great and im so glad they on Doordash. I had breakfast from there 2 weeks ago and everything was on point, including that awesome thick Smokey bacon

Quite honesty the best Crab Cake Benedict I've ever had. Crab cakes tasted fresh and good sized. It was also packaged very thoughtfully so the poached eggs didn't spill all over the place. Delicious will definitely order this again!

The Meatloaf was alright. I can't say I disliked it, the seasoning, juiciness & sauce were all good. The mashed potatoes were garlicky & had a good texture as well. Vegetables tasted alright, needed some salt & pepper. Everything tasted fresh.
The portion for the price is where I had some trouble though. My plate was lighter than I'd have wanted it to be. Not enough mash, you kinda have to make it stretch. Overall I'd get it again if I was feeling lazy but do consider this is a relatively easy meal to make at home for the same price & much larger portions.

The chocolate espresso milkshake is an absolute delight. It’s a generous size and arrives cold and perfectly unmelted. I highly recommend this milkshake and will definitely be ordering it again.
