Left hungry today. First time ever I wasn't totally 5 star happy at Tania's. Longest wait for basic breakfast orders and they arrived cold. Sent them back and they came back to the table cold. Looks 2nd round the toast was buttered on both sides, wonder why?

Tania's Breakfast Spot – Classic Breakfast Done Right! Tina’s is hands down one of the best places to grab a traditional breakfast if you're looking for something fast, filling, and downright delicious. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming — exactly what you want first thing in the morning. The service? Top notch. Our server was wearing a Vanna shirt — one of my favorite bands from back when I was a teenager in the '90s — and I suddenly felt both seen and ancient. But in a good way. The food hit the spot: hearty, tasty, and exactly what breakfast is supposed to be. No frills, no weird twists — just good, honest cooking that fills you up and gets your day rolling. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for a classic sit-down breakfast that doesn’t waste your time and leaves you full and happy.

Fastest I’ve ever gotten an order of breakfast. I walked in at 7:45 having a dentist appointment at 8 and asked if they could do anything that fast so I could have a quick bite to eat. They whipped me up the small breakfast in under 5 minutes and it was delicious. I will be back for sure!
