Quite liked this place but perhaps we didn’t pick the best day to go. We were there on Sunday late morning and it was packed. This led to the service being a little chaotic and it was quite difficult to get timely water and coffee refills. That being said the staff were all busy and friendly and the food was pretty good. I do prefer my usual breakfast spot but glad I tried this place. Will give them another chance but I will go earlier and see if that helps. Word of warning the bathrooms are down steep stairs in the basement and not particularly pleasant they could use cleaning and repairing!

It’s been about 10 years since I’ve lived in the area and been to R&T but good things stand the test of time! Such a homey spot with great food and atmosphere. It takes me 40 min to get here but it’s worth it. They haven’t missed a beat and I’ll be back!!! Update! So good I came back a week later!

This place was a surprising gem. Hidden in a corner of the plaza it looks unassuming from the outside and has modest decor inside, but if you come here it'll be one of the best breakfasts you've ever had. We started with mimosas, which came with some extra strawberries - very nice. Then we ordered a 3 eggs breakfast with bacon and home fries, as well as a western omelette with french fries. Both dishes were made exactly as you'd want them. The sunny side up eggs were runny and gooey, the bacon perfectly crisp and the potatoes with sauteed onions well seasoned and bursting with flavor. The omelette had the ideal ratio of egg to ham and onions and the fries were crispy on the outside and soft inside. Needless to say, I cleaned out my plate. We finished off with a french toast topped with baked apples and crumble - absolutely delicious! The toast was perfectly fried on the outside and soft on the inside, the apples with the crumble added sweetness, sourness and a crunch. It was warm, sweet but not too sweet, with varied textures - the perfect dessert. If you live in the area, or even a bit away, I highly recommend dropping by. We definitely will be coming back to try out more of their delicious menu.

Friendly service and the atmosphere was welcoming and inviting. The food was delicious with generous portions. Almost all the tables and booths were taken which says a lot about how popular this place is. Reasonably priced for the quantity and quality of food. Lots of parking and wheelchair accessible.

Amazing place for breakfast! It looks kind of unassuming and almost dingy from the outside but it has a classic breakfast diner charm inside, older decor but the energy is cozy but also bustling. Food is absolutely delicious. If you order pancakes be prepared, they are BIG. I had the avocado benny and it was incredible 🥑 Definitely a neighborhood gem!
