A few of us started a breakfast club awhile ago. We usually go once a month, but decided to do an extra one prior to my friend's upcoming surgery. We've been to numerous restaurants and this was by far the worst. The portions were adequate but not large - no comparison to Elle's. The coffee was good and may have been the best feature. The whole environment seemed rushed to me. From the servers to the cooks to the hostess to the busboy. I could feel that and it made me uncomfortable. The waitress was efficient, but not fun or friendly or helpful or anything to make for an enjoyable experience. The wood chairs we sat on were terrible. The mugs and plates were plastic, the silverware dimestore cheap.

I had an omellete which would have been OK if the ingredients weren't so undercooked. potatoes were decent and pancakes were adequate but nothing special. My friend complained of frozen pieces of potato and processed cheese on the omelette. He ate less than half and threw the rest away. The servers also carried a lot plates, which was impressive to look at, but
if you looked you'd notice that they stacked the plates on top of the food. That can't be right. We will not be going back.

Delicious!! Eggs are top notch, ham is off-the-bone and quite filling. The omelet is huge and very cheeeesy. French Toast is awesome. The hash browns are done just right and my coffee cup is never empty. Mr. A's is a local favorite. You will love this place!!

It's very difficult to go to Mr. Allison's and not have their ham....some of the best I've ever had. Not a huge breakfast menu, but the food is fresh...large portions and cooked right. Pancakes are good...need to try the french toast next time. A good, no-nonsense breakfast and the prices are very reasonable.

The food is plentiful and good. This place is a great no nonsense local joint that you will leave satified and not feel broke. I would recommend the ham. No one else can make it like they do.
