    Get the Crab Scramble. Real pieces of crab, healthy amounts of avocado, hollandaise on the side. It's not advertised, but you can order just one piece of their huge pancakes.

    I love the corned beef hash here. Not sure what was wrong w/it in 2010, but it's delicious. They offer to make it w/or w/out peppers, which is great. Decent chunks of meat, not shredded mush.

    The veggie skillet was awesome. The coffee was terrific. And the outdoor seating with heat lamps was delightful.

    Blueberry waffles for me when I'm in the village for breakfast and a side of bacon for our Siberian Husky, Jax.

    Amazing. Breakfast with actually decent coffee. Get the open hand sandwich special or the waffles (with real whipped cream!)

    Every table gets their own pitcher of iced water with lemon and if you order coffee, they leave a pot at your table for refills. Love that.

    Pancakes are huge! And delicious. Also the bacado (bacon and avocado) omelet is fantastic.

    Blueberry pancakes are good, but the full stack is too much even for someone who likes to be served lots of food.

    Save yourself and go to the Village Pantry (184 second street). We went to the VP because Ricks had a long wait... We haven't been back to ricks since and we've haven't gone anywhere else since :)

    The bacado omlette is great. I always substitute whole wheat toast for the bagle and get my potatoes extra crispy.
