Reviews
Food - 5/5, coffee is standard fare drip, service 5/5, ambiance 4/5 it's a bit crowded with tables in the enclosed outside area. We were seated quickly. We came here for brunch and enjoyed the family-friendly environment. One of us got the steak and eggs dish and the other got the steak & eggs Benedict. The steak was really good and generously portioned - I would get the steak eggs Benedict on a biscuit for a future order. We resisted getting pancakes or a waffle but were a bit jealous of the tables around us that did. For those who want a weekend indulgence the pancakes looked fluffy and moist. I liked that it is family owned and operated with dishes named after the waitstaff!
We stopped at Sax's Joint for brunch and were so happy we did since our friend in the area recommended this spot! There was no wait for a table of 2 at 12:30pm on a Sunday and we got seated in their back room. They have cool retro decorations that add to the diner vibe and friendly service which made it really feel like a local spot. I ordered the eggs with sausage links, hash browns, and the homemade biscuit. My boyfriend got the french toast that came toasted with cinnamon sugar and topped with their marionberry cream cheese. Everything tasted high quality and homemade, I LOVED their homemade biscuit, it might be the best I've ever had. It was so fluffy and moist on the inside, while maintaining a good crust on the outside. The eggs also tasted high quality, which I really appreciated in a time where eggs = $$$. The hash browns were clearly freshly cooked to a crispy outside and soft potato inside. The french toast was unique and balanced well with the cinnamon sugar and marionberry cream cheese. We didn't think it needed syrup at all, it was perfectly sweet with a slight tang. With a coffee and apple juice, the bill came out to $45 before tip which was so reasonable for the quality of food. No pictures because we dug in right away. I am so glad we came by, this is one of the best diner experiences I've had recently!
First time and it was fantastic. Service was great like your typical local diner. Fried chicken had amazing crispy flavor skin. The Mac and cheese was creamy. I had the chicken fried steak and the gravy was solid but not a guy bomb. Didn't love the plain coffee. The hash browns had like a spice or salt on it and it was nice and charred. Not sure what the flavor was but I enjoyed it with some yolk and gravy on them. Great place, very fair prices, and everyone around us seems to be enjoying their food. Would highly recommend!
We went on a road trip for the weekend to visit some friends and hit this place up as one of the spots from Triple D. Inside was retro style rockabilly and super cozy. We got in around 10 on a Sunday and lucked out with a few minutes wait before the rush. You can sit at the bar if it's open but it got packed quick. I had the Mexican benedict and wifey had the eggs bacon and a piece of challah french toast. Everything was delicious and good. My Mexican style bene had a little bit of kick bit not too hot with chorizo, a Cholula sauce and hollandaise. Cooked to perfection even the potatoes were scrumptious and didn't even taste starchy. Service is amazing, parking could be a little challenging but you can find street parking with a little bit of a walk. Don't forget to pick up fresh cinnamon rolls at the counter to go!!! Gastro Maestro Approved!!!!
Wow! Chicken and waffles fresh hot and delicious with enough food for three meals!! Get here early. Smiling service! Cool vibe.
