What people say, in short
Midpoint's breakfast recommendations consistently point to the Southeast business also called Midpoint Food & Drink, pinned on SE 52nd. Its red gravy is the distinctive draw: two commenters praise it, and another especially likes the red onion gravy. Other diners include it among their regular breakfast stops or call the food delicious. One visitor reports uneven experiences. That is a personal caveat, not a forecast that every breakfast will vary.
