      I just had breakfast at Chris's and had the best waitress! Danielle was great, she was super friendly, and attentive. I'll absolutely ask for her every time I come in! I have never had such good customer service.

      Chicken & rice soup was mostly rice, not enough veg or chicken.
      Broiled haddock broiled in too much butter and was too small. Plus a section of it missing.
      Steamed broccoli was soggy, overcooked.
      Grilled onions were overcooked.

      Turkey breast was processed, not natural as claimed. Don't even remember rest of the meal.
      Tiramisu was good.
      In the past, chicken salad sandwich was okay, salad was okay, vegetable omelet was okay, chili was not great, Shepard's Pie was average, raspberry cheesecake was not good.
      Don't remember which salad I ordered that was okay. A friend orders a salad she likes every time she comes here, to be fair.
      Had to order potatoes separately from vegetable omelet, which was unusual.

      After salad meal, the amount on my check was higher when I took it to cash register to pay than it was when waitress brought check to the table. Long story short, they refunded the overcharge.

      Another incident where several wads of chewed gum were discovered at bottom of coffee pot left at my friend's son's table.
      It's a shame because this is a nice building, which could be an amazing restaurant under different ownership.

      I had breakfast at the counter and the service was great. My order was simple. Creamed chipped beef over home fries with onions.
      The onions were great. The creamed chipped beef was room temperature and the home fries were awful. They tasted like they were fried in rancid oil. When i went to pay the bill, the lady asked me how my breakfast was and I told her about the home fries.. She then told me that she would tell the kitchen. I told her that the vendor probably sold the oil at a big discount and she said that they would never do that. Obviously, quality is not a factor in their purchases.

      Went on my hour lunch break to take my daughter to lunch. Got there at 12:10 got our drinks and then she never came back. At 12:35 another waitress finally took my order which then we had to take to go. When I went to pay they never offered any discount or apology knowing of the situation and inconvenience. When I asked about it he ignored me. Not going back there for lunch again ever.

      Stopped on our way up to the Poconos.
      From California so new to us.

      Service was good!
      Food was likewise very good!

      Two of us had omelettes, two pancakes and one the raisin bread French toast.

      Looked like a very busy place!!

      This place was the only thing opened near my hotel when I arrived in town. The food the first night was really good but the service was pretty bad. By the time my meal arrived my drink was empty, the server did not ask if I wanted it refilled. He did not come back until after I finished so I asked for a drink to go. He told me he did not know I wanted more and that they were closing so the tea had been poured out.
      Since the food was good I gave them another chance during dinner hours. The food was even better than the first time but the service was just as bad.
      Moral of the story, go for the food but keep your expectations of service low.

      No wait for a table this morning at 8:10 am. Super quick service. Our server is friendly and efficient as always, one of my favorite places.

      Ordered the eggs Benedict over the phone the other day and the man specifically asked me if I wanted Hollandaise sauce on the eggs Benedict.. I said "oh of course", (because that is what makes it eggs Benedict) the man replies "alright"..... I pick up my food and get home and open to find the hollandaise sauce on the side which was cold along with the rest of the meal. Not sure if this was due to a fast pace environment but id recommend taking it slower to not mess up peoples meals. Food for thought!

      Two eggs on english muffins with bacon and home fries. On the side is hollandaise sauce known for eggs Benedict which was on the menu.
