What people say, in short
Most people recommend Dad's Breakfast & Coffee for breakfast sandwiches, and some point to the coffee slushie. One diner praises the panko-crusted fried egg sandwich and says the rest of the menu is good, and another gives the katsu sando an honourable mention. Not everyone agrees: several diners call it average or question the hype, one found the breaded egg dry and overdone, and another calls the sandwiches greasy.
