Breakfast burrito with polish sausage, includes cheese potatoes and cracked eggs aka real eggs. Pretty good but at about $12.50…it has to be right?

The price for the portion that you get is insane! It’s a lot of food and you will likely have leftovers. The zucchini fries are a huge hit and they’re crispy and you can see the large pieces of zucchini inside. The burgers and salads are really big too! Definitely will be returning!
