The food was amazing the biscuits were like your grandmother made them in the kitchen. Service was excellent . Atmosphere was incredible, you can sit outside and see the planes come in and leave.

2 very different meals. One was omelet dry and hashbrowns dark and crisp. The other meal was scrambled egg juicy but hashbrowns were not done at all. I pointed it to the waitress and they took the hashbrowns back. Got it back not better than before 😒 The pancakes were big and fluffy but had a really funny taste. So we left it almost untouched. Wich we never do whit Pancakes due we love Pancakes. We hear and read so much good about that place, so we give them another chance next time we're in the area.

Absolutely amazing breakfast. Great portions, great prices, and great flavor. The workers are all friendly. A must eat. Edit: Unfortunate to have to make this update but I have returned to Annia’s kitchen about 5 times since this initial review. I was ecstatic with the amazing quality and experience like our first time but every visit after has been downhill. I have tried the Chile Verde, the Chile Relleno Omelette, The works burger, and the huevos rancheros. I’m disappointed that the quality hasn’t been replicated since. The flavor just isn’t there, ranging from taste and preparation. We have even had biscuits and gravy come out cold and tough as a rock. I really tried to give this place multiple attempts but after experiencing wonderful first time, it all seems like a distant memory.

The indide is has lots of room, but for a sunday it was packed its about the same area as 1/2 of a Profesional basketball cort. They also have patio seating that is great for the planes landing and taking off

Super fun, great food and efficient friendly staff. What more could you want? Breakfast all day. Big Mexican food selection with off the planet salsa. So good! Burgers and sandwiches as well. Inside and outside seating.

My first time here and I was pleasantly surprised. I had the best patty melt on rye bread. Very tasty. I couldn't decide between the fries and onion rings, so they offered to give me both. So accommodating! The coffee was good. The service was perfect. The staff is very friendly. I will be coming back soon. Next time I'm ordering the ribeye steak and eggs. I highly recommend this place. Keep in mind, it closes at 2pm.
