I live nearby and every time I drive by there is a huge crowd on the sidewalk trying to get in to sit 2 inches from each other, wait a long time for mediocre food, get less than stellar service. And then you have to pay as though it was a fine dining establishment. We call it the THIMBLE because it's like sitting in one.

I always get their Californian Omelet when I go. Wait can be long, but that is since this place is small. Service is good. Get a table on the porch if you can.

A little overrated... just a kinda trendy place to go for visitors. It's always crowded. The food is okay, nothing too special. Breakfast should be hearty not hoity toity.

Take it from me at 6'4 240lbs animal!! This place tops the charts on choices to eat in the morning. It is a small hidden place, with limited seating but well worth the wait for great food. I do wish the waitresses were a lot nicer but when you are serving that many people, you can tend to lose your smile but other than that try the salads, they are one of thee best things my BIG A$$ has tasted in awhile. Till next time keep your shirt clean.

Award Nomination: Best Breakfast Ever

This is definitely a breakfast eatery I highly recommend. The food was excellent. Try the orange salad and salmon sandwich. The service was very very friendly and professional. They also just started serving dinners on a regular basis now.

This place rocks when it comes to pancakes. I read an awesome review and it lived up to the hype. I had the Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes (waitress recommended). They were golden brown perfection -- fluffy yet manly.

My girlfriend had an omelette (can't remember what kind). It was good sized and she said she liked it.

The only drawback was that we had to wait outside for about twenty minutes before we could eat. But I suppose that's usually a pretty good sign that the food is good.

I highly recommend Marston's.
