Customer Reviews
Ok. I am certain this is my first straight 5 experience! Let's start with the service; Immediately greeted with a smile. A sincere admission of wait time followed by direction to "comfy chairs." Spotlessly clean, bright decor, low to moderate noise. More service info coming, on to the food! OMG!! House made everything! Bloody Mary - pickle forward and very tasty. The Bloody ice cube is genius!! Biscuits and Gravy; biscuits were cheesy, perfect crispy outside, pillow inside. The flavor was NOT an average biscuit! The sausage gravy was simply enchanted! The best I have had that I can remember...I make a damn good gravy, I thought! Wife ordered Hashbrown Casserole. Do not confuse that simple name with the end product! The explosion of flavor that jumped off my fork and proceeded to blow my mi
Stopped in for breakfast to start our antique shopping weekend. Our waitress Aileen seated us immediately after we entered and gave a few minutes to look at the menu. The food was out 10 minutes or so after we placed our orders. The Hash brown casserole and bacon were hot when place on the table. My wife said the gravy was some of the most flavorful she’s eaten. Definitely spent no time under a warming light. Also had a fresh fruit cup and OJ. Everything tasted wonderful and Aileen was very pleasant and attentive. Highly recommend breakfast here, and wish we would be close by to try the lunch menu. The prices were also very reasonable, especially for the quality and amount of food you get.
The meal I got was okay. The herb potato’s I got tasted like dry frozen potatoes. The potatoes had some sort of green herb but no flavor at all. Not even a lick of salt. I also got a breakfast sandwich which was good but just as good as McDonald’s. The sauce though was very good! The service was not great. I felt like there was no communication about when coffees were coming. Then my friend, who is pregnant, never got a refill on her water. It was poor service especially for a pricey brunch. We also had a group of 9 which luckily half of our part didn’t show up, because they sat us at two different tables. So not a good place for big groups.
Had our first visit to Happystance this morning and there was some good some bad. The atmosphere was good, we enjoyed the outdoor seating area and it wasn't overcrowded or overly loud. The food was pretty good, decent portions and everything was cooked well. The biscuits and gravy tasted great, but there was nowhere enough gravy to match the 4 biscuits. It tasted great, just not enough. The standard breakfast was... Pretty standard. The bacon was delicious but could've been crispier and the potatoes were overly salted. Where our visit fell short was the service. The food came out fast, so the kitchen was fine. Our waitress (unsure of name) was quite rude. This was not limited to us, she was overly rude to every table close to us. In addition we saw her forget requests of other tables. We c
Sat outside on a gorgeous summer morning. Food was scrumptious, service was very friendly and coffee was delicious. Highly recommend!! Will definitely come back next time we are vacationing in Douglas. We enjoyed the Eggs Boobington (eggs Benedict- yum), the biscuits & gravy (just amazing!) and the banana bread (no photo because we ate it while it was still warm off the griddle)
