Lou Mitchell's Restaurant & Bakery

My husband absolutely loves this place so I am forced to eat here. I do not understand why he likes the food here so much.

Great breakfast spot! Service was timely, especially considering the place was packed! I ordered the banana pancakes. The bananas were fresh and the pancakes were fluffy and tasty. The orange juice was fresh squeezed and the hash browns were perfectly cooked. If you have any issues with spacing between the tables, that might make you uncomfortable because they really do pack the people in. The free doughnut holes while you wait, which wasn't long, is a nice touch!

One star, I'll explain why, The food is 4 stars, but when you combine rude pushy waitstaff, and crabby hostess, no food is worth it, and you know what this review won't make a bit of difference, but I had to put in my 2cents, we have been going and bringing people there for 30+ years, few of the girls are OK, some of the dinosaurs need to go,The reason we stopped going is one morning we went and my husband dropped me off and went to look for  parking, it was a Friday (street cleaning) could not find one , so I got us both 2 breakfast skillets to go , not cheep, on my way out the nasty ratty hostess was standing with the basked of do-nut holes, I reach to take a couple for my husband, and she (line of people waiting) went off on me telling me that I could buy some, "YOU KNOW WE DO SELL THOSE" I was never so embarrassed, even a few of the people in line were like "wow that was mean" so needless to say that was about 3 years ago and we have not been back, and for that b$@##h she can shove her whole basket of holes you know where.
