They aren’t open at all regardless of what every advertisement and website says. Pretty disappointing to expect to get breakfast at a listed open time and the place is closed up tight, no lights on, no

The food is okay. The service is good. The food is a little expensive. And it's a restaurant that is specifically geared towards the elderly, & it shows. The place reeks of the old & nearly departed. If you go to this place & you do not have a colostomy bag then you're probably in the wrong audience to enjoy this place.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options existed on the menu. That's all I can say as other than the cheese sticks I did not partake in them.Parking: There's probably around eight spots. And they fill up pretty quick because the old come early and stay late.Kid-friendliness: I saw no children. But seeing how it's a place garnered for the old, I guess that is to be expected.Wheelchair accessibility: It's on the first level so it has wheelchair accessibility. Given the place inside is a bit small, so your mileage may vary if you have a wheelchair.

We went to the Early Bird Cafe today for breakfast. It was pretty good; I ate the biscuits and gravy. Hubby ate a burger and fries. Coffee was weak but everything else was good ?!

Our waitress was nice but the OJ flavor wasn’t good and my food wasn’t as good as it usually is.. and the price has really gone up it seems over the last ten years quite a bit..Parking: Not much parking at all available but there isn’t much seating inside either!

the waitress is so kind and the food never misses. high key better than another breakfast place that rhymes with "spacks". i love the pancakes so much; their temperature, size, and texture are the exact same every time. the general customer population is very kind as well, because they are older, they do talk loud, so the sound may bother some. my only complaint is that they aren't open all day, but that doesn't affect much else. the food isn't expensive and the overall vibe is wonderful. there's a consistent theme with the decorations. also, their sweet iced tea is so good!

I'm from New Jersey, land of diners. Portions were big, quality was excellent. Only thing I didn't like was that the biscuits are too good to be that small, I could have eaten 3 without blinking. HIGHLY recommended for breakfast!!!
