Update: Tried this place out again not too long ago with my family and we had a much better experience. Attentive service even in a busy restaurant on a Saturday morning and 3 out of 4 plates were great. 2 orders were eggs Benedict and one was made correctly and one the eggs had to be remade and then still weren't made right the second time but he just ate them anyway. Mine was made well. My kids food was great everything looked good and they enjoyed it. The creamer container was clean this time lol. Way happier with our last visit. ... The hostess was awesome. The server took a LONG time to come to the table at first. My first attempt of poached medium was poached extra soft and I said so right as I cut into it and they remade that quickly and well. I asked for it to be on a waffle for the extra charge option they have on the menu and didn’t get that. Some of the fruit looked kinda old. Like it has been precut a day ago and wasn’t sealed well enough in the fridge. Specifically the orange slice, watermelon and kiwi. 1 of the dollar pancakes for kids was cooked perfect and plated nicely. The second one was kind of haphazard. The coffee creamer container had dried out cream on the bottom that was obviously there for a while. The bacon was good, the hashbrowns were decent, the Benedict the second time around tasted great even though it wasn’t on the waffle. I actually liked their English muffins anyway. The server became more attentive after second plate came out but never asked me if I needed more coffee or kids refills or anything, I asked for water which she got quickly. She cleared just my plate quickly after I finished while the kids were still eating but then never came back again so I went to the front to pay. Meh. I have a soft spot for Phil’s chain restaurants thanks to core memories from childhood. But this location was kinda disappointing.

All of our food was great. Fatima, our server, was helpful and efficient. The Traveler’s breakfast (with poached eggs, pancakes and beef chubbies )was all perfectly cooked. We ordered crispy shredded hashbrowns, which they excel at, not greasy, just tender and crispy at the same time. Strawberry crepes, ordered without whipped cream, had TONS of strawberries. Yummy! Sorry had a few bites before I took photos. We discussed that the restaurant is old, but everything is very clean. The ketchup bottles and syrup dispensers were pristine. Very impressed.

Once you negotiate the tricky new roadway here you will enjoy the large parking lot with all free parking. Upon entry we were welcomed warmly and guided to our table very quickly. Windows here are very large and let a lot of sun in. It is a very good thing that there are shades on each one that the customer can lower for themselves because it can get pretty hot with the sun in the South. The waitress was friendly, patient and knowledgeable. She took my child seriously as he ordered for himself and interacted with him as though he were any other customer, making him feel all grown up! The portions were large and tasted good. Everything was served hot and quickly. The waitress came around often to check on us and top coffee up. They have two types of hot sauce, Tabasco and Frank's. They also have HP Sauce too! Yum! If you are needing a quick breakfast this restaurant does the trick!

The foot was great and what we expect from a Phil's location. It was our first time at this location and the staff did not seem as friendly as we usually encounter and we were barely checked on. Besides that, good experience.

Great buttermilk pancakes! Very fluffy. The strawberry toppings and whip-cream was an added bonus Pork medallions were decent. The hashbrowns were moist , but still tasted good Service was fast, and good was solid for the price! The only thing that i thought was ok was the coffee (Not bad though)!

The food and especially service were very good. The restaurant is showing its age as the upholstery looks like it has never been cleaned. A good steam cleaning outfit would do wonders. However, the location is easy to access and has lots of parking.

My roommate and I stopped by to splurge on our favourite Phil’s meal together - the chicken and waffles. We also got a seasonal cranberry rosemary mimosa each, which was delicious! The star of the experience, though, was our server Frances! Frances was so kind, personable, and fun, and her service skills in general were top tier. We hope she’s our server again next time we come back!
