What people say, in short
Most commenters recommend Sweet Maple, and many name it as a breakfast or brunch pick. A few diners single out the French toast, including a deep-fried version and a Grand Marnier one with orange notes, and two commenters point to the bacon, which one describes as a specialty while another mentions a dish called Millionaire's Bacon. A couple of commenters warn of hour-plus lines, and one says it takes no reservations. Two diners found it underwhelming, and some find it pricey.
