Thisilldous Eatery

This was an excellent restaurant for a breakfast getaway! My wife and I had a great morning breakfast in a very cute little joint with friendly faces and excellent food. The menu has a number of options to choose from, and we had a hard time making a decision. This is fine, because it means we will just have to come back again, which we will!

Far, far to expensive. I mean that in a real sense. Far to many employees at this small place which contributes to higher customer food bills. Wonderful employees and service. If your retired, have plenty if money to burn, you found your lunch place. With tax, a hamburger special with soda and fries $23.00?. I thought I was in Belvidere, NJ.

I tried the brisket sandwich with the house BBQ sauce and well-done fries for lunch. The sandwich was delicious and flavorful but if you're looking for a big sandwich you'll be disappointed. Two thinly sliced pieces of brisket is what was on my sandwich. The wonderful taste of the sandwich and BBQ sauce lasted much longer than the sandwich. To be fair I've had sandwiches with more meat and they cost more. Good food is not cheap. The fries were not crisp and not soggy and not my definition of well-done - crispy and crunchy. Next time I'll skip the fries and order two sandwiches.

I don't understand all the glowing reviews on here. This was one of the worst dining experiences ever. We went for breakfast, knowing it was a Sunday and they tend to trend busy on Sundays. We sat, ordered and proceeded to wait almost an hour for our food. Again, it being busy we understood. We watched the action at the grill and quite honestly was horrified but what they think is acceptable in the restaurant industry. 1. Using a microwave on omlettes is standard practice there. Omlette is made on the griddle then microwaved, I assume to melt the cheaper cheese they use. They also microwaved many of the take out orders they prepared. 2. They take the time and energy to cook and chop the potatoes for the hash brown potatoes, but ruin them by pouring fake butter from a gallon container. This tasted horrible and left a distinct aftertaste in my mouth. 3. The toast is made ahead and sits then is sort of heated again on the griddle. No butter would melt on it. Seriously, how hard is it to make toast? 4. It appears much of their food is pre-made. Chicken salad from a tub, pesto from a tub...the corned beef hash tasted like a low grade version of canned hash. It had a pink pasty texture. We left hungry. Will never return.
