Adore this little spot! When I come, I always request their special salsa/hot sauce to go with my country fried potatoes. Everything is always cooked to Perfection and the waiters here are always so nice and make you feel at home.

A solid 4 1/2 stars, just shy of a five. I'm always looking for new breakfast spots, and when I found this on the web, I decided to stop in. It's a nice little café, it is apparently very popular. Even at 9 AM on a Thursday morning, it was busy. I was seated at a table right away. The place is clean, and everybody was friendly. The menu is big, and I decided to go for the shrimp and avocado omelette. Shrimp, avocado, bell peppers, onions, and jack cheese. I am not a fan of bell peppers, so I asked if they could swap the bell peppers out for mushrooms. They said sure, no problem. Also, instead of potatoes, I asked for fruit, and I got a nice bowl of very fresh fruit. The omelette was delicious! A generous portion of avocado, and also a generous portion of decently sized shrimp. These were not your little cocktail shrimp, people! The shrimp were delicious. The eggs were good, and all of the Fixins just played really well together. I really enjoyed it. The coffee was good, and they kept my cup full. The only thing that takes off a half a star, was the biscuit. I asked for a biscuit instead of toast. The biscuit was small, and it was not light and fluffy, it was a bit chewy for my personal taste. Next time, I will just order toast or an English muffin. The price was very reasonable, and they also offer a military/veterans discount. Other than that one tiny thing, I really enjoyed my meal. I plan on coming back. Thank you!

i've been going here for a year now. and within that year, there have been some radical changes. this is a bustling restaurant the size of a cafe. the waiting area is the size of a portapotty. the food is glorious and quintessential. i could find myself eating here every weekend (i do!). however, within the year, the prices have ramped up. it seems erica has found her worth. they sell the most mouthwatering burger i've ever laid my mouth on -- the Chef's Burger. it was sold for a measly $9 (WITH FRIES) back when i started dining here and nowadays it's a whopping $14. there's inflation for ya. on top of that, they opted out of standard-cut fries and just hand out steak fries. did i order a steak, erica?! the scoundrels have found their malicious way to maximize profit with FRIES. just recently, they added a mandated 18% gratuity for parties over six. absolutely cheeky. am i just supposed to spend more because i have a bigger family?! diabolical in every sense of the word. erica really has found her worth, because they truly got amazing food and it's always decently packed, but damn! waiters are truly cordial and professional and they are some hard workers. i could never envision me handling the morning rush, but they do and it should not go underappreciated. the inside is rather small and can be crowded at times but sooner or later it will evolve into Erica's Restaurant... doesn't roll off the tongue as much.

Wonderful food wonderful service. Food comes out in a timely manner. I've been here several times and each time, I'm always impressed . Would definitely recommend.

With an incredibly tempting amount of food choices, this place is much more than your typical diner. I had the Santa Fe Skillet, which arrived at our table still sizzling, and my daughter had the Denver omelet. Both were delicious. The servers are friendly and very attentive with their offers of water and coffee refills. We will have to go back and try the dishes we couldn't get this time.

Good food and great service but be prepared to wait. It gets busy. Went there for Sunday brunch and sat right down but when we left there was a line waiting outside.

This place is just around the corner but we never head that way. We should have! Breakfast was delicious. I had omelet, I'm an omelet person. It was price right. Like the atmosphere I see a lot of regulars- the staffs seems to know them by name. I would go again- for the food, friendly staffs and it's close by.

Service is always friendly and great! Coffee cups are topped off constantly. They have an extensive menu but we always order the bacon avocado breakfast burritos. So delicious!
