Came with some friends, we tried the Egg McMercury and the brunch combo, as well as a couple drinks. Overall, I'd say the drinks here are the highlight. Generously sized and well executed. No complaints at all. The morning I came, it looked like the food orders were pretty stacked up. Not sure how many people were on staff to prepare food, but it looked like it was resting on the shoulders of a few poor individuals, which I truly felt for. The McMercury and brunch version were interesting. I'm making a guess here that the poached eggs were done in ramekins or some kind of mold. They were closer to a medium poached and are served on biscuits that were, for my taste, large but a little dry. Breakfast potatoes on the side were decent. Despite the order queue, I'd say we got our food and drinks pretty quickly. Customer service was also good, despite the rush. Will definitely come back for the drinks, but might make some different choices for my next food picks.
