This Week's Counter: Rise & Dine Cafe

Sunday morning we visited a counter we found on the Web -- the Rise & Dine Cafe in Chesterland.  We've driven by the intersection of 422 & 306 many times and never noticed this place, tucked away in a shopping plaza.  But apparently it's very popular in the area -- very crowded when we got there mid-morning, clearly lots of folks who were regulars.

Fortunately we scored two seats at the counter right away.  It was pretty jammed, not a lot of space to read the paper.  But that's the nature of this place -- lots of tables jammed close together as well.  Service was OK -- pretty prompt and fairly friendly.

As often happens, despite it being early in the day, Cam chose chicken and fries -- it looked excellent and he confirmed it was.  Ted had his usual benchmark breakfast -- eggs, potatoes, toast & coffee.  All was good and the potatoes were nicely crispy as requested, a solid meal all around.

If you are feeling REALLY hungry, try the Wolverine Challenge -- a 14-egg omelet with bacon, sausage, peppers and potatoes.  If you finish it in 30 minutes or less, it's free and you get your photo on the wall of fame!



Cam says: "Great food and service, although the counter was a little cramped.  Liked the atmosphere, I give this one 4 frying pans."


                                               


Ted says: "Good food quality and decent service - a bit too crowded and cramped at the counter, but definitely worth a visit.  3 frying pans."
