Pot roast was amazing! So we're the fries. I've never had fresh cut fries be so crispy! Also got the rabbit bit was disappointed it was a loaf and served cold, but still good.

Try the Famous Modern Hash. The hash is a morning knockout: A duo of perfectly poached eggs on that holy pot roast, dressed with potatoes, peppers, and herbs.

They keep a large table for parties of 5 or more open since they don't take reservations. Try the sidecar martini!

The vegetarian Pumpkin Soup ($14) with mole, sopes, and wild mushrooms is unique and addictively savory.

Love the pot roast. If they served egg white omletes my family would come more often.

Try the Apple Risotto! It's a little heavy on the apples but so good.

Good food but not the place for breakfast if you're in a hurry. The service gets slower every time.

So true about the kids. It's hard to catch the servers in a good mood in general.

I think they put drugs in their fries. Thick cut, but not soggy, seasoned lightly, so good.
