What people say, in short
Ann Sather's Chicago breakfast opinions are pooled on this Granville pin. Cinnamon rolls are a recurring draw, but breakfast enthusiasm is qualified by criticism of bland food and potato sides. One Granville visitor recalls a disappointing breakfast and underdone rolls from years earlier. Other diners appreciate the quantity and value. That older meal is not a report on the outlet's current cooking.
