1 time I took my wife here to try it out. Cheese omelet with hashbrowns and toast was good. However, we ordered a side of 1 pancake. Pancake was not cooked completely. Doughy in the middle. We shared that concern with the server but nothing was done. Decided to give 59er a second chance today. Took my son there. Figured we would do the egg and cheese omelets again. This time we waited for around 40 minutes and no food. Another customer who ordered a BLT after us was served and left. So I approached the server and she went to check. Said the cook was plating. Took another 15 minutes after that to get our meal. Was told the grill was having issues heating up.

Im a truck driver and had a delivery down the road. I tried the 59ers burger and it was the best burger I have ever had. The lady who took my order was very polite. The place very clean. I would give this place 10 start if I could. Also they have overnight parking. I will be having breakfast as soon as the sun come up.
